Let's not forget that it was R' Aaron Teitelbaum backed the murderous Obama Iran deal!
A major internal battle has erupted in the Satmar faction led by Rav Aharon Teitelbaum of Kiryas Joel, after some of its askanim – led by Rabbi Moshe Indig – decided to endorse Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic socialist candidate for mayor of New York City. Mamdani — known for his criticism of Israel, borderline antisemitism, and alignment with radical, far-left causes — continues to struggle for trust among much of the city’s Jewish electorate.
The endorsement, made official at an event in Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon, represents a significant political development. The Ahronim bloc, numbering tens of thousands of voters, has backed the winning mayoral candidate in each of the past two elections — Bill de Blasio in 2013 and Eric Adams in 2021. With Mamdani leading in the latest polls, their latest move appears to follow the same trend.
