Next week, one of the the Satmar Rebbes, Aaron
Teitelbaum, is expected to visit the Zionist state on the occasion of his
nephew’s wedding, as well as to fortify and strengthen the Haredi institutions
in their righteous battle to avoid serving in the impure army while staying on
the dole.
Rabbi
According to Kikar Hashabbat, the Rebbe’s visit will last
one week, during which he will meet with leading Haredi rabbis and speak words
of encouragement as well as some rebuke before his own Chassidim. Central
point—you guessed it—the decree of yeshiva students serving in the army.
The Rebbe is expected to spend one day in Jerusalem, and so
the Chassidim have been bidding for the privilege of hosting him in their homes
overnight.
The winner, according to Kikar Hashabbat, following a heated
bidding war among all the rich men of Satmar, is the honorable dignitary Rabbi
Aher Lev, son of the honorable dignitary Rabbi Yeshiahu Wolf, head of the
London Satmar community.
The honor will cost the winner $1.1 million, which he
pledged to the Satmar institutions in Jerusalem, for support to yeshiva and
kollel students.
The Rebbe will be staying in R. Asher Lev Wolf’s luxurious apartment
on Minchat Yitzchak Street in Jerusalem, where he will be receiving visitors
next Wednesday.
