Unfortunately, in Jerusalem we do not have a Satmar Tish and our only possibility is watching them on Youtube.
We usually hear many things about Satmar:
They are anti – Zionist, rich, and the gossip about the latest disputes between the two present Rebbes is everywhere.
Fact is that the Satmar dynasty suffered severe losses during the Holocaust and even the Rebbes were imprisoned in concentration camps.
Today Satmar fights with Chabad and Chabad fights with Satmar. The famous disputes are well known. A further argument between the two groups is the size of the group. Both claim to be the largest chassidut in the world.
Starting from next week, I will explain some comments of the greatest Satmarer Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, as well as the history and chassidut of the group. How Rebbe "Yoelush" thought about Zionism and the State of Israel.
But is Satmar only anti anti anti ?
Not at all, because people usually tend to forget about the positive aspects of the groups which is, among others, the famous Chesed.

In your experience which hasidim (I mean the members of which hasidut) have the longest peyos ?
