Satmar case goes to Court of Appeals

The Court of Appeals has just accepted to hear arguments on the Williamsburg Satmar case by R' Ahron Teitelbaum. This new legal development leaves open the possibility of reversing the court's previous ruling that R' Zalman Leib Teitelbaum get the big Shul. If the appeal goes in R' Ahron's favor, he would end up with the big Satmar Shul in Williamsburg and he would be the next Satmar Rebbe, leaving R' Zalmen Leib without any Shul in America and possibly forcing him to move back to Israel.
