An all-time high: 2 million people visited the Kotel during the month of Elul Ignoring Satmar Rebbe's Fatwa

 

Rav Yoel Teitelbaum z"l had issued a "Fatwah" against going to the Kotel, because the Zionists captured it, yet over 2 million Jews, in an all-time high, visited and davened at the Kotel.

A very close friend of mine who lives near me, went to Uman this year and he asked me if it was a Satmar "thing" to go to Uman for Rosh Hashana? 

So I naively answered that I'm only aware , that as a Chassidus, only Breslov goes, he and his married son who also went, laughted at me and said, "that besides Breslov, the largest group is definitely Satmar! "

Makes you think!
