Just last week R' Zalman Leib Teitelbaum, Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg visited France and told French Jews not to make Aliyah ... the Satmar Rebbe follows in the footsteps of his great uncle , R' Yoilish, who instituted the now famous Minhag to advise people that are in mortal danger to stay put and not emigrate ....
the last time Satmar followed that Minhag, a half million Hungarian Jews got murdered......
but as the adage goes ... a nut is very hard to crack!
Today 200 French Jews stuck their thumbs up his nose and basically told him to go eat schmaltz herring and kichel in the states!
Bienvenue en Israël, notre pays juif.
