Children of the chief rabbi of Kiryas Yoel’s majority congregation, went to court yesterday to begin an unseemly tug-of-war for access and control on their 92-year-old father, leader of the world’s largest movement of Chasidic Jews because they claim he isn’t in good hands.
But the head rabbi in Williamsburg, and his faction contend the Satmar leader is in good hands and accuse their rivals of sacrificing a holy man’s dignity to advance their own quest for power.

The judge repeatedly scoffed at the suggestion that the case had no political motivation and no connection to the fighting to succeed the grand rabbi. “If this is about politics,” he said angrily, “then take all these papers you spent thousands of hours on and throw them down the toilet.”
After two hours, the judge set another court appearance for Nov. 3 to deliver his decision, one that he said neither side might like.

Could anyone please post all court docs relating to this case (or provide a link) and does anyone have a copy of the “Heter” that Aron’s children used to go to Court, please post the “Heter”
1. I am a son of Rabbi Moses Teitelbaum (the “Grand Rebbe”), the leader of the Satmar Chassidic movement, one of the most highly-respected religious Jewish leaders in the world. I respectfully submit this reply affirmation: (i) in further support of the motion to dismiss the petition brought by certain of his grandchildren, (but not by me, any of my siblings, my children or my grandchildren); and (ii) in opposition to the cross-motion to amend the petition in this case and for so-called “unsupervised visitation.” I have personal knowledge of all of the facts set forth herein.
2. I have read the affirmations submitted to the Court last week by children of my estranged brother Aaron, and others, in opposition to the motion to dismiss the petition for appointment of a guardian for my father. These belligerent affirmations do not address the facts regarding my father’s selection and appointment, approximately 25 years ago, of individuals to attend to his mundane, personal affairs so that he could concentrate on his prayer, study, and holy work as leader of the world-wide Satmar Chassidic movement, including Congregation Yetev Lev D’Satmar, Inc. (the “Congregation”). The specific, particularized facts that I set forth for the Court in my affirmation dated August 18, 2005 regarding the meticulous care and service that my father receives from his various, long-standing assistants on a daily basis are totally ignored in these affirmations.
3. Rather, these affirmations are filled with numerous inaccuracies and distortions, which do not address the heart of this matter–the current state of affairs regarding my father’s health care, shelter, food, clothing, property and financial affairs. The pernicious affirmations of the Petitioners and their collaborators are devoid of any specific factual statements regarding any current information as to these issues. Indeed, those affirmations do not profess to contain relevant information concerning any of these six issues going back even two or three years.
4. The aim of these new affirmations is not to address matters pertinent to this proceeding. Rather they constitute merely additional tactics employed in the ceaseless efforts of supporters of my estranged brother Aaron to reverse our father’s decision in 1999 to appoint our brother, Zalman Leib Teitelbaum, as “”””Chief Rabbi of the Congregation.”””””
This is the obvious reason why, rather than address the current state of affairs concerning my father, the Grand Rebbe, the affirmations submitted to the Court in opposition to the motion to dismiss dredge up alleged incidents from 2002, 2001, 1999 and 1997 and even earlier.
5. I will not burden the Court with a point-by-point refutation of the falsehoods contained in these affirmations. But lest any silence be deemed an admission, I hasten to point out, for example, that Jack Gross is not a Satmar Chassid, nor is he a member of the Congregation and is certainly not an innocent observer. He is a former criminal who served time in prison, and he has taken a very active role in trying to reverse my father’s decision to appoint Rabbi Zalmen Leib Teitelbaum as Chief Rabbi of the Congregation. His renditions of his recollections of his conversations with my father in 2002 and 2003, which I and others witnessed, are highly selective and false. His admission that he has not seen the Grand Rebbe for approximately two and a half years (Gross Affirmation at ¶ E., p.3) demonstrates that he is not in a position to provide this Court with timely, relevant information. But this has not stopped him from attempting to cause trouble.
6. It is not surprising that my brother Aaron’s supporters are desperate to have “unsupervised” time with the Grand Rebbe. They are most eager to be able to claim that they were secluded with the Grand Rebbe so that they can thereafter make all kinds of pronouncements regarding what the Grand Rebbe allegedly said or did during what they will no doubt characterized as “a unique lucid moment.” They know full that they will not be able to concoct new stories of what the Grand Rebbe supposedly declared unless they are alone with him. It is no wonder that visiting the Grand Rebbe in the presence of his longstanding, trusted assistants would not serve their nefarious purposes.
7. I respectfully request that the Court consider the accompanying joint reply affirmation that I am submitting to the Court together with my brother and our spouses, and that the Court put an end to the shameful efforts to demean and humiliate our father, one of the most respected figures in the Jewish religious world today.

I Daven evryday in the green shul in kanarsie, the talk today was that its a shame for zalman teitelbaum who would never let his old 92 year old father join the Simchas of his kids and grand kids.
everyone said it’s a shame to see how 3 people surrounding this Rebbe are keeping him hostage from his followers.
what a shame
