Rare Footage of the Satmar Rov

A collection of some never before seen footage of The Satmar Rebbe, the Baal Divrei Yoel, Rav Yoel Teitelbaum of righteous memory. Rav Yoel's Thirtieth Yartzet is tonight Chof Vov Menachem Av. Zechuso Yogein Aleinu.

At the end of the clip you can see the Satmar Rebbe Zt"l  in Sheron Springs the Summer of Year 1966,  speaking with people, learning in a garden and writing Sefer Al Hagila Val Hatmirah.

The video brought back a lot of memories, one point I would like to make, the Rebee Z’L always showed respect to every Jew regardless of their affiliation as you could see in the video a lot of people who came to him for advise or just to spend some time he talked to them with a hand shake and always a smile, I just hope the current young generation will go back in time and learn from this Holy Man how to treat other Jews

The Satmar rebbe was without a doubt one of the holiest individuals produced by the Jewish People, and was the greatest guardian to assure that the Torah of Moses is not forgotten. He was the real and most loyal defender of the Torah, a true leader of the Jewish People!

Y'Hi Zichro Baruch. One can truly tell the gadlus of the man as one glances around at the different types of Jews who come and show their respect to this great sage. From Litvish to Chasiddish Tzioni to Meah Sheorim he loved them all

It’s hard to believe that 30 years have passed without him. Today we see what a far outlook he had. He commanded everyone’s respect,even his adversaries had great Yiras HaKavod for him. He truly loved every Jew with a passion. He may have been a Zealot but he was a very gentle person.
When I see young people named Yoel, I have pity on them that they were not Zocheh to see his holy face.
