LETTER SENT TO RABBI YOEL TEITELBAUM, REBBE OF SATMAR, BY REB NACHMAN SHTRAKS.
A letter dated 1965, sent to the Satmarer Rebbe by Reb Nachman Shtraks. Reb Nachman Shtraks, who displayed great self-sacrifice to practice Judaism in the Soviet Union,
became internationally famous in the ‘Yossele Schumacher’ affair in 1960, in which he, members of his family and others were imprisoned for hiding his grandson and smuggling him abroad in order to stop him from being returned to Russia and lost to Judaism.
The letter refers to the Satmarer Rebbe’s outstanding generosity, addressing him as ‘the pillar of kindness in our generation’.
Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, Rebbe of Satmar, son and disciple of Rabbi Chananya Yomtov Lippa of Sighet and son-in-law of (1) Rabbi Avraham Chaim Horowitz of Polaniec, and (2) Rabbi Avigdor Shapira of Czestochowa. Recognised from a young age for his outstanding saintliness and Torah greatness. After the passing of his father, he was accepted by some of his followers as their Rebbe and settled in Satmar. Subsequently appointed Rabbi of Orshova (1911), Karoly (1928) and Satmar (1929), where he headed a prominent Yeshiva and attracted large numbers of Chassidim. One of the outstanding leaders of pre-WWII Hungarian orthodox Jewry. Heavily involved in relief efforts during the Holocaust before himself being deported to Bergen Belsen, but rescued to Switzerland on the Kastner transport, and subsequently moving to Jerusalem. He re-established Torah institutions and chassidic centres in the Holy Land and in America, where he settled in 1947, becoming the spiritual guide to thousands. Appointed Nassi of the Eida Charedis in Jerusalem in 1951 and Av Beis Din a few years later. One of the greatest post-WWII chassidic leaders and halachic authorities. Known for his strong principals in all religious matters and particularly for his outspoken opposition to Zionism, as well as for his wise counsel and outstanding generosity. Author of Vayoel Moshe, Al Hegeula V’al Hatemura, Divrei Yoel, Shaalos U’teshuvos Divrei Yoel.
