Death of Relative Brings the Feuding Satmar Rebbes Together

Rabbi Meisels z"l of Seagate 

According to those who attended the Levaye, the Satmar Brothers were not supposed to have met. The ASS"kanim had arranged that R' Zalmon speak first and leave and then R' Aron would arrive and speak.  

Hashem has a sense of humor and things got delayed, and when R' Aron arrived, his brother hadn't spoken yet. 

So R' Aron  waited outside until his brother Zalman finished his hesped, and hoped that R' Zalman would leave so he wouldn't have to see him, but for some reason. R' Zalman took a seat after he finished his hesped, he figured he would stay to make his brother miserable, after all it's a funeral. R' Aron had no choice but to come in and make his hesped with his brother in attendance. 

But now it didn't "paast" for R' Aron to leave so he took a seat on the other side of the shtender (G-d forbid to sit next to each other as normal brothers do) and both brothers bent their heads down staring at the empty floor . It is important to point out that R' Zalman had made no conditions prior to his arrival. I don't have a dog in this fight just pointing out the facts. 

According to chassidim of both sides, this was a miracle performed by their rebbes. 

What miracle, you ask naively? The miracle that the followers of both sides didn't come to blows and that the followers of the Aronim didn't scream "Shaigatz Arois" at  R' Zalman which they do when he comes to Monroe!

"these are 2 holy rabbis"
Really why, because they share the same sperm?

The Yiddisher Velt would have probably been better off and have more achdus had their grandfather missed the “Kasztner train”.
