“Quoting the Satmar Rav is not going to get any brownie points from me, since when did Satmar understand what Shalom bayis means, let alone ahavat yisrael? They cannot keep peace between their own leading rabbis and brothers.”
Tahini: I really didn’t want to chime in on this thread, but by denigrating the satmar rebbe zatzal, I didn’t have much choice. The satmar rebbe’s ahavas yisroel was legendary, I suggest you read up on him a little. And mixing a great personality of yesteryear with the current politics of his great-nephews that had no bearing in his lifetime is a real cheap shot.
Unfortunately, many chasidisos are plagued by infighting today, that gives you no excuse to single out satmar as lacking in shalom because you disagree with their shitta. If lubavitch has 2 factions, but doesn’t believe in giving back land EVEN IF IT PUTS JEWS AT RISK , does that make them greater ohevi yisroel?
