Thousands of Satmar Chasidim Gathered Together To Celebrate Kuf Alef Kislev. This event is held yearly as a Celebration of the Rescue of The legendary Satmar Rebbe, Reb Yoel Teitelbaum, (1887-1979) From Natzi Germany

Brooklyn, NY - On 21 Kislev 1944, the Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum zatzal, was rescued from the Bergen-Belson Nazi concentration camp along with 1368 other Jews. Since then, for the past 65 years, Satmar Hasidim have celebrated the day as a day of festivities which includes Divrei Torah, singing, and meals. The idea is based upon the notion of a personal Purim (See Chayei Odom Klal 41 for an elaboration).

  • Teitelbaum was rescued from death in the Holocaust during 1944 in Nazi-controlled Transylvania as a result of a deal between a Hungarian Zionist official, Rudolph Kastner, and a deputy of Adolf Eichmann. En route, the train was re-routed by the Germans to Bergen-Belsen, where the 1600 passengers languished for four months while awaiting further negotiations between rescue activists and the Nazi leadership. In the end, the train was released and continued on to Switzerland.
