Now on AP Rabbi Moses Teitelbaum, leader of ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect, dies at age of 91 4/24/2006, 7:15 p.m. ET By ULA ILNYTZKY The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Rabbi Moses Teitelbaum, worldwide spiritual leader of tens of thousands of Satmar Hassidim with the largest congregations centered in the United States, died Monday. He was 91. Teitelbaum, the rebbe, or grand rabbi, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect since 1980, died at Mount Sinai Hospital, said community leader Isaac Abraham. He entered the hospital on March 30 and was being treated for spinal cancer and other ailments. The group has some 120,000 followers worldwide, according to sociologist Samuel Heilman, with large congregations in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood and the village of Kiryas Joel, 45 miles northwest of New York City in Orange County. The village was the center of a landmark court fight in the 1990s over state officials' efforts to provide school aid there. The group has some 120,000 followers worldwide, according to sociologist Samuel Heilman, with large congregations in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood and the village of Kiryas Joel, 45 miles northwest of New York City in Orange County. The village was the center of a landmark court fight in the 1990s over state officials' efforts to provide school aid there. The Satmars emphasize tradition and adhere to a strict dress code — long skirts for women, long black coats, black hats and long beards for men. Marriages are arranged and married women must keep their heads covered. The sect takes its name from the town of Satu Mare in what is now Romania. Sect followers are so single-minded in their devotion to tradition they even oppose the state of Israel, because they believe that biblically, Jewish sovereignty over the ancient Land of Israel can come only with the Messiah. Teitelbaum was born in Siget, in present-day Romania. He escaped Nazi persecution during World War II and came to the United States in 1946. Teitelbaum took over leadership of the Satmar sect from his uncle, Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, who died childless in 1979 at age 93. He took the formal title of rebbe the following year. The question of who will succeed the rebbe as spiritual leader looms high. Two of his sons, Aaron and Zalmen Teitelbaum, have been feuding over that question. In 2004, a judge in Brooklyn refused to rule in the sons' dispute over the heir to the Satmar sect, saying the matter was for the grand rabbi to decide. Teitelbaum had tabbed Zalmen Teitelbaum to run the Williamsburg congregation and Aaron to take over Kiryas Joel, but on the larger question of which one should prevail, the grand rabbi remained silent. "There's a conflict as to who will be the major head," said Heilman, a professor of sociology at Queens College who studies Orthodox Jewish sects. "Not a lot will be changed. As to who will be the dominant one, it will shake out in time." Ultimately, a will may resolve the dispute, Heilman said. "There may be a will. The rebbe has been too ill to provide an unequivocal answer to that, or maybe he didn't want to while he was alive," he said. In addition to a traditional will, Heilman said, Teitelbaum may have left "a moral will" that could leave his disciples a message or hint at who should be the primary leader. The professor suggested that in the end there may be more than one leader, which he said would not be unprecedented among Jewish sects. The Satmar Hasidic sect has between 65,000 to 75,000 disciples in the United States — 95 percent of whom live in New York state — and about 120,000 worldwide, including Canada and a small number in Israel, said Heilman. The issue of Teitelbaum's successor is highly charged and sensitive because the job of a grand rabbi is that of "an intermediary between his followers and God," said Heilman. "He is a father to thousands of people." The rebbe gives advice not only "on political matters, but very much on domestic issues. Followers come to him with all sorts of questions, which range from 'who should I marry, should I undergo this particular surgery,' anything that's important in a Hasid's life, they will check with the rebbe," Heilman said. "His blessings carry enormous spiritual and moral value. That's why the quest for who has the charisma, a combination of office and blood" is so important to Satmars, the professor added. The grand rabbi also presides over the sect's schools, camps, a matzo factory and loan company. The Satmars are not the only Jewish sect to struggle over the selection of a successor. The Lubavitcher Hassidim have been without a leader since the death in 1994 of its grand rabbi, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who left no children and did not designate a new rebbe. And the death last year of the head of the Bobov Hassidim touched off a battle for succession between his half-brother and a son-in-law. Joel Teitelbaum, Moses Teitelbaum's uncle, was imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps during World War II before escaping to Israel and eventually settling in Brooklyn and Kiryas Joel — named "Village of Joel" in his honor — after the war. The village was incorporated in 1977 and became the center of a legal battle over separation of church and state when lawmakers sought to create a public school district to provide special education programs. The Supreme Court ruled in 1994 that the state had unlawfully singled out a particular religious group for special treatment. Further efforts by New York legislators to create a school district within the village also were struck down. Teitelbaum is survived by four sons, two daughters and dozens of grandchildren.

Satmar Rebbe dies at age 91

By Chris McKenna

New York - Moses Teitelbaum, an Auschwitz survivor and revered leader of the large and politically influential Satmar Hasidic movement for more than a quarter century, died shortly before 7:00 tonight at Mount Sinai Hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side. He was 91.

Teitelbaum had been in the hospital since March 30, when he was admitted for an infection he developed while receiving radiation treatment for a spinal tumor. He fell unconscious and his one kidney failed a few days into his hospital stay, but his health later improved so much that aides expected him to return home. Yesterday, his condition declined swiftly.

Thousands of mourners will likely pour into Kiryas Joel late tonight or early tomorrow morning for a funeral and burial, which will take place after a 10 p.m. funeral at the main Satmar synagogue in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. Police expect enormous traffic on roads leading into the village in southern Orange County.

Monroe-Woodbury schools will close tomorrow because of the anticipated traffic, school board President Claire Perez said.

Teitelbaum was the grand rebbe, or supreme spiritual leader, for as many as 120,000 Satmar members inhabiting tightly knit enclaves in Brooklyn, Kiryas Joel, Monsey, Montreal, London, Jerusalem and other places.

He leaves behind a sect sharply fractured around two rival sons, Aron and Zalmen, each a rabbi who could succeed him. Their respective supporters have already been waging a bitter power struggle in court. The rebbe's death will almost certainly open a fierce succession battle.

Moses Teitelbaum was born in 1914 in the Hungarian city of Sighet, the son and grandson of revered rabbis. He lost both parents at age 11 and joined the households of his grandfather and uncle, the man he would succeed as Satmar grand rebbe a half-century later.

Teitelbaum was building his own reputation as a rabbi when the Holocaust began decimating the European Jewish population. In 1944, he and his family were sent to Auschwitz, where his wife, Leah, and their three children died. Teitelbaum was transferred to Theresienstadt and liberated from there in 1945.

He and his new wife, Pessel Leah, returned to Sighet after the war, but fled Communist persecution and eventually emigrated to New York City.

There, he rebuilt the Sighet branch of Hasidim and became its leader, the Sigheter rebbe.

He was 66 years old and living in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn in 1979 when his uncle, Joel Teitelbaum, the charismatic leader of the flourishing Satmar Hasidic sect, died. With no sons to succeed the Satmar rebbe, congregation leaders turned to the Sigheter rebbe. He was crowned in 1980 in Kiryas Joel - the Satmar community founded in Orange County in his uncle's name just a few years earlier.

In recent years, Teitelbaum has presided over a movement riven by loyalties to either Aron and Zalmen, either one of whom could become the next rebbe. He had appointed Aron, the oldest of his four sons, chief rabbi in Kiryas Joel in 1984. The fault lines opened in 1999 when the rebbe passed over Aron and plucked his younger brother, Zalmen, from a post in Jerusalem to become chief rabbi in the Satmar base of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

In 2001, the two factions each held elections for leadership of the Williamsburg congregation and declared itself the winner, igniting intense litigation that has churned for more than four years and now rests with a state appeals court reviewing two separate lower-court decisions.

Even the rebbe's health became a political football in this overheated atmosphere. In July, several of Aron's children petitioned the court to assign guardians to the aging leader, claiming he had severe dementia and was being kept in seclusion by Zalmen supporters. A judge rejected the request in November.

Aron supporters claimed the rebbe's mental conditions started declining at least as far back as 1997, which implicitly questions the validity of Zalmen's appointment in 1999. Zalmen supporters, meanwhile, called the move for guardianship and claims of dementia outrageous and disrespectful.

They had said previously that the rebbe merely forgot things and sometimes repeated himself, as old people do.

The rebbe's physical health has fluctuated. He suffered a minor stroke in September, resulting in another hospital stay. But a Broooklyn judge who visited Teitelbaum at his home on Oct. 31, 2005, to decide if he needed guardians found him studying and walking around.

His condition dipped again in March, when doctors found a tumor on his spine and began radiation treatment. He soon developed an infection and was brought to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he fell unconscious on April 4. His one remaining kidney failed at the same time. Doctors placed him on a
respirator.
That was when family members and aides rushed to the hospital and began their vigil.
