New York 1 has the latest on the feud betwee two Hassidic brother in Brooklyn who each want to be the grand rebbe of the Satmar Sect, which was headed by their late father. An appeals court said on Wednesday: IT DOES NOT WANT TO GET INVOLVED.

In its ruling, the judges say they have no place interfering with administrative matters of religious organizations.

The decision benefits the younger brother, Zalmen Teitelbaum. His
late father named him successor of the Satmar Sect, setting off a legal
challenge by the older brother Aaron Teitelbaum, who refused to accept
the decision.

At times, the feud even turned violent, with fights breaking out among supporters.

Their father, Grand Rebbe Moses Teitelbaum, died in April at the age of 91. He had led the Satmars for more than 30 years.

The Satmars’ $1 billion empire includes social service organizations, yeshivas and real estate in Brooklyn and around the world.
