Cong Mayon Hatorah, 12 Walworth St, Brooklyn, NY 11205, US

Congregation Yetev Lev D'Satmar, Inc. is a community of Orthodox Judaism known as Satmar Hasidism located in Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 1948 by Grand Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, the Congregation is formally incorporated and follows the bylaws established in 1952. The Congregation has a board of directors and officers who oversee its functions and ensure compliance with the rules of the community. In 1974, the Grand Rabbi expanded the Satmar community by establishing a new congregation in Monroe, New York, which was incorporated as Congregation Yetev Lev D'Satmar of Kiryas Joel, Inc. The Congregation faced a split in 1979 after the death of the Grand Rabbi, resulting in two rival factions within the Brooklyn Congregation. Each faction conducted separate elections for the board of directors and officers, leading to a legal dispute over the validity of the elections and the rightful leadership of the Congregation.Generated from the website
