Lot : 78
Marriage Certificate of the Admor Harav Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar. Satmar, 1941.
On 13 Elul, 5697 (1937), Harav Yoel of Teitelbaum was wed to the righteous Alta Faiga, daughter of Harav Avigdor Shapira of Czenstichov, who served as his partner for forty years of marriage.
The marriage certificate lists the Admor’s personal details, along with his date of birth, etc., and features official stamps and seals of the Hungarian authorities.
It appears that this certificate was issued in 1941 for the purpose of obtaining a citizen’s card, after the Hungarian government passed a discriminatory law compelling every Jewish citizen to carry official identification papers at all times.
Harav Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar (1887-1979), author of the Divrei Yoel, was the leader of the post-Holocaust Chassidic renaissance. A brilliant and pious scholar, he was fluent in all realms of Torah and renowned for his firm opposition against Zionism and modernity. After the Holocaust, he reestablished the Chassidic court of Satmar both in the United States and Eretz Yisrael and served as President of the Eidah Chareidis in Jerusalem.
