Trump meeting brings estranged Satmar Rebbes face to face for first time in decades
The roughly 30-minute Oval Office meeting brought together rival Satmar rebbes in a rare public reunion, with community leaders raising Orthodox concerns.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump hosted an unprecedented delegation of senior Hasidic leaders at the White House, marking the first meeting of its kind in the Oval Office in more than 50 years.
- The delegation featured influential figures from the Satmar, Skver, Bobov, and Vizhnitz dynasties, who discussed communal concerns including the situation of Jewish prisoners with administration officials.
- Estranged brothers Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum and Rabbi Zalman Leib Teitelbaum spoke face-to-face for the first time in years during the meeting, with Trump facilitating their rare public reconciliation.
- During the visit, Aharon congratulated his brother on a recent family engagement, and Trump lightheartedly asked, "Are you twins?" The brothers answered together, "No, we're brothers."
- Attended by Vice President JD Vance, presidential adviser Jared Kushner, and Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, the event underscores the administration's ongoing engagement with Orthodox leadership ahead of Rosh Hashanah.
