Brooklyn, NY – Last fall, Sony Pictures CEO and Chairman Michael Lynton got together with his good friends and fellow power brokers Gary Ginsberg, of Newscorp., and Jay Sanderson, of JTN Productions and started working on a list of the 50 most influential rabbis in America.

Of the chasidic Rabbis, the list includes as number 15 Rabbi Zalman Teitelbaum Of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY (Hasidim) [Newsweek]
March 27, 2007 3:08 PM. isnât this a PR product? How come R’ Zalmen is the only chasidishe Rebbe on this list? Arenât there other more influential Chasidishe Rebbes than him (including his older brother…)?
anonymous 8:17 u mean 2 say that d issur on d hamodia he had a 20% success rate?
Anonymous 6:18 said “Reb Aron is coming out with a Issur to read the Newsweek!”
Considering that only about 5% of aronis really read English, I estimate that if he comes out with this issur he will probably have a 95% success rate.

The question is not how one chassidus can have 2 leaders?
The real question is how a chassidus can have no leaders.
Reb Aron is coming out with a Issur to read the Newsweek!
No Newsweek! No Hamodia!
anonymous 7:54 i dont know what d zalis would do if r’ aron would b on d list but d aroinim would b in d 7th heaven, claiming victory, press conffrencess, pres releases, a thousand eshkoilos n million teguves on hydepark, e.t.c. u wouldnt heard end of it and it abig FRASK for them spiritually n of course in thier more the 3 million $ flushed in P.R. campaign
what a bunch of baloney! from R. Aron’s side! after years of using every Hollywood tactic available to them like putting out a press release the first shabos on every Little detail! and opening up the tent by boiey basholem! for the TV camera’s so everybody can see R. Aron dancing on TV! or Even just earlier this year by bringing in a Hollywood movie stage for the chupa of his daughter wedding !! where there ware four movie studio trailers parked in front of the big shull for more then a week with the studio name visible to every child or by putting out a press release this past kof alef Kislev saying how big R. Aron Is and how many thousands of people will attend and how few people Will be by R. Zalmens party
now that it helped them of !!!Toite Bankes!!! not with the court! and not with the press and best of all not with Hollywood while in the same time R. Zalmens side where conducting business quietly! now the Aroynim are crying (wolf) Hollywood.
!!! Well Aroynim to late you lost.!!!
P.S. Don’t forget the Fifty Thousand Dollars R.Aron’s people paid
to Kol Hooilom kiloi they should only call him satmere Rebe !!!
Can someone from Satmar please answer these questions. How can one chassidus have 2 leaders?
What is the fundamental difference between the 2? Does one wear his hat to the right and the other to the left?
Don’t you realize that they are both simply humans?
BTW most of these people are not goyim. They may not be frum, but they are yidden. The sinas chaim keeps the bais hamikdash from being rebuilt
maybe some of them are shomre mitzvos, but not williamsburg farfrimt.
Anon 7:54pm
Aron’s on a list for good stuff?
Do you mean good stuff like repeatedly suing his brother in civil court.
Maybe they did not want him on their list because they were afraid of being sued, he is a chronic litigous.
i think that the biggest Hanuah that a Aroiny can have now is that his Rabbe is not on that dirty list. you can say what ever you want, but its a reall Bisha & Charpa. i cant imagine what would happen when it would be just Farkart! they Zalys would took their whole Beth Din & would came out with a Iser & Machuah against that Goiyam are mixing into Satmar. Der Yid would for sure have a few major pages to make Choizek. & much more. i think its a reall Kuved for R Aron that he’s not on this kind of list. meanwhile he’s on a list from doing good stuff for Klal Yisroel.
Râ Zalmen being one of Judaismâs most influencing leaders is definitely the result of a well organized PR team. I canât remember at any point of time within the last year that Râ Zalmen was appearing in the news rather than Râ Aaron.
i always knew he was a good actor ,he is ready for hollywood. sorry my mistake he is already in holloywood
Anon2:41, you got it mixed up. The mass demonstration is in Willi. Re-read the announcement above. The boycott is also in Willi. And the lawsuit will be filed afterwards.
I don’t care who is bigger, I just care which team wins.
Anonymous 1:18, you are being dillusional. Calling for a boycott of Newsweek would only have a nominal effect. How many satmar chasidim actually read English let alone subscribe to Newsweek. Calling for R’ Aaron’s chasidim to stop watching Sony movies – ha, whose going to listen to that? What else are they going to do on motzei shabbos?
Az reb aron vert a rebbe, bin ich a millionaire tzen mul iber!!!!!
aronim fin enker shelden of hydepark vad enk gornisht helfen fen aron iz fen of the list folden enk as farshprt ve meshge enk zenen pushet jealus
It is ironic that after years of R.Aron being called charismatic and a performer by his chasidim including among others having a movie studio stage at the chupa of his daughter chasene earlier this year while making fun of R. Zalmen for not being a good actor. all of R. Arons acting And preforming did not help him one bit at all!
meanwhile R. Zalmens Chasidim where saying that they don’t want a Rebe an actor all they want is peace and quiet.
well normalcy does work!
ahroni de kenst shelden fin hynt bis morgen newsweek hut nisht gehert fin enk es cost mich a glachter
FOLLOWING the mass protest we will be filing suit against Newsweek and Sony at U.S. District Court for libel and slander for putting at number 15, not 1.
Please contribute generously to the legal fund.

the maas protest will go out from 14 hooper
ahroni is going to appelet court to apeal the list he doesn’t ask what the orthodox jews say

RAV ZALMAN SHOULD’VE BEEN #1 ! !
WE ARE CALLING FOR A BOYCOTT. CANCEL YOUR NEWSWEEK SUBSCRPTION, AND STOP SEEING ANY SONY MOVIES! !
WE ARE CURRENTLY ORGANIZING A MASS PROTEST ON RODNEY STREET.
I hear that zalman is moving to Hollywood and will be the rov of the city.
Now we should get Newsweek to settle the dipute in Bobov……
i do think zalman leib belongs on this list, if you`ll see from the listis build upon, then of course zalman leib`s name can be added, among all reform ect and so called orthdox.

Now that Newsweek has officially confirmed Râ Zalmen as the Leader of the Satmar Hasidic Community in Williamsburg, itâs really the time for Râ Aaron to consider not coming in BâASRA DâMARâŠ
wow that makes him a tzadik
That just shows that the out side world that dos not understand. Every one in the Chairedy world know that Aaron is more influential, with torah, with the masses, and with money , but since they think that he lost the court over Williamsburg he is less influential. Aaron is still the most influential after all.
The Aronim have called a boycott of Hollywood until further notice….no more going to the movies!!!
I just hope that the Baal Divro Yoel is looking down and seeing what he build up
What is the big chiddish that R’ Ahron is not on the list? The list is limited to influential “rabbonim” and since R’ Zalman was appointed Satmar Rebbe, R’ Ahron no longer has a shteller and doesn’t qualify for the list.
The big chiddish is of course the the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Melech Hamoshiach, didn’t make the list. Have we gone so low that Melech Hamashiach doesn’t even make it to #50 ?
It is amazing to see how all the Aroinim are commenting, echt baleidigt, this list is irrevelent to ANY yid, especially the Zalis…
But the Aroinim are up in arms how come their Rebbe, which they spent Millions on PR etc.
Hey guys, just like we Zalis are not celebrating you should just the same not get baleidigt, but you can’t help it, can you???
Great NEWS!
a new device that checks yiros shomayim, just put in on your forehead, it works just like a thermometer, for body temperature.
we want to see which rebbe will sign-up to use this device.
OK! OK! R AHRON IS NUMBER 51
ARE YOU ALL HAPPY NOW
to scy4851,
I dont think the Melech Hamoshiach would need approval from some list of 50 top most influential Rabbis. I should hope that he is above that.
Having said that it is pretty impressive that his secetary made the number 2 spot and other Rebbes and leaders are much further down the list (like number 15…)
Anyway,
A kosheren Freilichen Pesach and may we be this Seder in Yerusholayim with Moshiach tzidkeinu (WHOEVER he may be…)!!
What do they take in consideration when ranking the Rabbis??? Torah?? Yiraas Shomaim??
he may be a rabbi of influence but he sure ain’t no rebbe, the likes of Reb yoel Zt”l.
At least THEY consider him as one of the top đ
The price of the kvittel just went up!!!
How thoroughly idiotic!
THE POSSUK SAYS
VYIRI KOL HAGOIYIM KI SHEM HASHEM NIKRO ULACHO VEYURI MIMEKO
10:43..
and your ‘rabbe Rabbi Ahron Teitelbaum from Kiryas Yoel’ who ‘is the greatest and on top of every list’ also condones your surfing here on the internet.
and Melech Hamoshiach of Crown Heights is #1 đ
the aronim are calling for a boycott ha! ha! losers!
2. Yehuda Krinsky (Lubavitch)
Krinsky has truly built a âshulâ on every corner and brought the Chabad movement mainstream prominence. He is the leader of Chabad and its CEO
#2 is rabbi yehudah krinsky of lubavitch.
wow! what a list. From the comments i understand that Shmuly Boteach is number 9. A Rebbe is number 15 (The satmar Rov) and Rabbi Krinsky who was the Mazkir of the Rebbe is Number 2!!!
I wonder how they decided this list.
Interesting…..
