Editing Satmar Chassidus (section)

== Further Events and Rebbe's Response ==
The Rebbe addressed these events strongly at the Chag HaGeulah farbrengen of 12 Tammuz that year, firmly protesting against the perpetrators, connecting it to the events of the Frierdiker Rebbe's arrest - noting that even the Jews who "learned and separated" who were among the Yevsektzia who arrested and interrogated the Frierdiker Rebbe didn't even think to threaten to touch his beard and peyos. The Rebbe also protested against the rabbonim from that group who supported them with silence, and against the rabbonim who protested against them with forced protest, just to fulfill their obligation.

During that period, Rabbi Wechter was offered by his friend, an important Yid and talmid chacham from Satmar Chassidus, to sit and talk with him privately, not in a way of victory but as one friend to another. Rabbi Wechter wrote to the Rebbe that he thought this was a good opportunity to explain chassidus pleasantly and bring that Yid, from whom many learn, closer to Toras Chassidus Chabad. In response, the Rebbe answered: "- not to argue (with them). For now, they don't understand what is being spoken about them, and note from Chazal Pesachim 66b whoever gets angry etc."

The Rebbe also said there is concern whether to include such Jews who have no shame to behave this way in a minyan, since one of the signs of Am Yisroel is that they are "bashful, merciful, and performers of kindness."

In 1985, following words of disrespect and mockery written in the "Der Yid" newspaper published by Satmar against learning daily Rambam, mayim acharonim, and the eternality of Toras HaChassidus and its spreading, the Rebbe instructed not to read the newspaper because of bitul Torah, moshav leitzim, and concern for weakening faith in Toras HaChassidus. The Rebbe also mentioned not to go to their shuls and not try to bring them closer and "the owner of the vineyard will come and eliminate its thorns."
