Jewish chasidic history was made last night February 15, 2012, as for the first time in over thirty years, the Belzer and Satmar Rebbes met. The meeting was in the home of the Belzer Rebbe in the neighborhood of Telz Stone (aka Kiryat Ye'arim) in Jerusalem, Israel. The meeting, which took place at 12:50 AM Israel time, lasted over thirty minutes. Hundreds of chasidim and onlookers waited outside to catch a glimpse of the two leaders who are brother in laws to each-other.
The last several weeks have been spent ironing out the particulars of the meeting.
Telz Stone was sealed off completely today, with only the local residents getting permission to enter the area. The Belzer Rebbe's house on Rechov Baal Shem Tov was surrounded by heavy security.
The road to this monumental reconciliation was paved approximately one month ago when a delegation of Belzer dayanim paid a visit to the grave of the Satmar Rebbe, R' Yoel Teitelbaum ZT"L in Kiryas Joel. As reported by VIN News, the delegation asked in the name of the Belzer Rebbe for the Samar Rebbe ZT"L's forgiveness.
