Satmar (Hasidic dynasty) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (490 words) |
 | Satmar is a dynasty of Hasidic Judaism which originated in the Hungarian town of Satu Mare ( Szatmárnémeti in Hungarian, originally in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and presently in Romania). |
| The Hasisic house of Satmar traces its roots to Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum ( 1759 - 1841), Rebbe of Sátoraljaújhely (Ujhel), Hungary. |
| Satmar's views were formulated and espoused by Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum and are maintained by Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum and his son and likely successor Rabbi Zalmon. |
| Marvin Schick: Notes on Satmar (986 words) |
| Interestingly, Satmar family size is lower in Borough Park, perhaps because this is a more upscale community and in tune with a familiar pattern, socio-economic status impacts on family size. |
| The Satmar economic infrastructure is substantially based on private enterprise, not governmental funds, as is evident from the great many housing units being built with private capital. |
| Satmars benefit somewhat ironically from their strong devaluation of secular education, particularly for males, and the concurrent arrangement whereby relatively few young men remain in yeshiva more than two or three years past the high school period. |
