(Created page with "Satmar Chassidus is a Hungarian chassidic court in the chassidic style that became one of the largest courts in the United States, originating from the city of Satu Mare in Romania. It was founded by Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, and after him, the court was led by his nephew, Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum, who also served as president of the Eidah HaChareidis. After his passing in 2006, the court split between his two sons, Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum and Rabbi Yekusiel Yehuda Teitelbaum...") |

Rabbi Meir Zayontz, who was close to the Satmar court, met in the early 1980s - under the Rebbe's instruction - with the Rebbe Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum. The purpose of the meeting was to influence Rabbi Moshe to stop the acts of violence by Satmar thugs against Rabbi Mendel Wechter. They met, but the Satmar Rebbe claimed that he has no control over the thugs in his court and that he is too weak compared to them. Finally, after Rabbi Zayontz spoke to him firmly and conveyed a message from the Rebbe against the thugs' actions, the Satmar Rebbe agreed to promise that as far as it depends on him, he would issue a clarification that he opposes the acts of violence and his official institutions would also issue a protest against these actions (this was before Satmar thugs attacked Rabbi Wechter). Rabbi Zayontz made many efforts over the years to stop the violent acts of Satmar people against Chabad chassidim. | Rabbi Meir Zayontz, who was close to the Satmar court, met in the early 1980s - under the Rebbe's instruction - with the Rebbe Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum.
