Grand Rebbe Joel Teitelbaum

One of our greatest Rabbis, Satmar Grand Rebbe Joel Teitelbaum, zt’l*, is a frequent topic of emails and questions to True Torah Jews.  Some website visitors want to know more about this great leader and others write to oppose his teachings, saying that he is only important to the Satmar Orthodox Jewish community.

This coming week marks the annual celebration of the rescue of Rabbi Teitelbaum from the German concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen.  In honor of the coming celebration and to commemorate the memory of this great Rabbi, we have posted new articles on the JewsAgainstZionism.com website:

WITH RABBI TEITELBAUM IN BERGEN-BELSEN

Another article, written by a Hungarian writer, Dr. Ferenz Kennedy, who, although not an observing Jew, was together with the rabbi in the famous train of Jewish Hungarian personalities who by virtue of Kastner’s bribery were taken to an internment camp in Bergen-Belsen, and then later from there was saved by being taken to Switzerland has been added to our website.

We have obtained a copy of an article published by Time Magazine in August 1969, following the visit of Grand Rebbe Teitelbaum to the Holy Land.  In his article, the writer, not of the Satmar Orthodox Jewish community, calls Rabbi Teitelbaum “the King of the Rabbis”.

*zt’l translates to “may his name be blessed”, a term of honor to those who have passed before us.
