Lengthy letter (2 pages, over 42 lines) handwritten and signed by R. Yoel Teitelbaum (later Rebbe of Satmar). Carei (Nagykároly), [between 1932-1934].
Halachic responsum regarding a butcher who sold non-kosher meat, and severe warning not to buy meat from a butcher shop which is not under rabbinic supervision. The responsum was addressed to R. Yechezkel Shraga Citron Rabbi of Encs. This responsum was published in Responsa Divrei Yoel, Part II, Omissions of Yoreh De'ah, section 164. (The letter was written between 1932-1934, since R. Yechezkel Shraga Citron was appointed rabbi of Encs in 1932, and R. Yoel Teitelbaum left Carei for Satmar in 1934).
Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar (1887-1979) was the youngest son of Rebbe Chananya Yom Tov Lipa, the Kedushat Yom Tov (1836-1904), and grandson of Rebbe Yekutiel Yehuda, the Yitav Lev (1808-1883), who served as rabbis of Sighet (Sighetu Marmației) and were leaders of Chassidic Jewry in the Maramureș region.
He was renowned from his youth as a leading Torah scholar of his generation, for his perspicacity and intellectual capacities, as well as for his holiness and outstanding purity. At a young age, he was appointed rabbi of Irshava. In 1925, he was appointed rabbi of Carei (in place of R. Shaul Broch who went to serve as rabbi of Kashoi), and in 1934, of Satmar (Satu Mare). In all the places he served as rabbi, he also maintained a large yeshiva and Chassidic court. He stood at the helm of the faithful, uncompromising Orthodox Jewry in the Maramureș region. After his escape from the Holocaust, he reached America and established the Satmar Chassidic community – the largest Chassidic community in the world. He was one of the founding pillars of Chassidic Jewry after the Holocaust, the president of the Eda HaCharedit in Jerusalem, and a leader of Orthodox Jewry in the United States and throughout the world. His writings resulted in the publishing of dozens of books: VaYoel Moshe, Responsa Divrei Yoel, Divrei Yoel on the Torah and more.
[1] double leaf, official stationery. 2 written pages, over 42 autograph lines and his signature. Approx. 23.5 cm. High-quality paper. Good condition. Folding marks. Minor damage to lower margin.

Zohar on the Torah – Bereshit, Shemot, Vayikra, Bamidbar and Devarim. Zhitomir: R. Chanina Lipa and R. Yehoshua Heshel Shapira, grandsons of the Slavita rabbi, 1863. Complete three-volume set.
These volumes of the Zohar belonged to the holy Rebbe of Satmar, author of Divrei Yoel. Each title page bears the stamp: "Yoel Teitelbaum Rabbi of Satmar and its region, in the holy city of Jerusalem". One of the volumes bears the same stamp on the last leaf as well. The Satmar Rebbe lived in Eretz Israel for a short while after leaving post-Holocaust Europe and these stamps are from that time.
Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum (1887-1979) was an illustrious Torah scholar, president of the Eda HaCharedit and leader of Charedi American Jewry as well as a mainstay of the post-Holocaust Chassidic world.
Born in Sighet, son of the author of Kedushat Yom Tov and grandson of the author of Yitav Lev, who served as rabbis of Sighet and as Chassidic leaders in the Maramureş region. Renowned from his youth for his sharp mind and genius, for his holiness and his purity. After he wed the daughter of Rebbe A. C. Horwitz, Rabbi of Połaniec, he settled in Satmar and taught Torah and Chassidism to a select group of disciples and chassidim. He served as rabbi of Irshava, Carei (from 1925) and Satmar (from 1934), and in each of these communities also headed a large yeshiva and a large Chassidic community. He stood at the helm of the faithful, uncompromising Orthodox Jewry in the Maramureş region. Rescued from the Holocaust in Dr. Kastner's famous "rescue train", he arrived via Bergen-Belsen and Eretz Israel to the US and founded the largest Chassidic community in the world, the Satmar Chassidic community, which until today is the most dominant community of Orthodox Jews in the US. He also headed the Eda HaCharedit in Jerusalem. He stood at the front of the opposition to Zionism and to the establishment of the State of Israel, heading the struggle for preservation of the holiness of the Jewish People and their Torah way of life. Together with his zealousness for the honor of the Torah and the future of faithful Jewry, he was known for his exceptional acts of chessed. His door was constantly open to those in need and he was always available to help any Jew. An outstanding Torah scholar, he wrote many halachic responsa and his works have been published in dozens of books: VaYoel Moshe, Responsa Divrei Yoel, Divrei Yoel on the Torah, and others.
Three volumes: [4], 251, 16 [i.e. 17]; [1], 1, 3-280 (mispagination, without lack); 309, 11 leaves. 20 cm. Good condition. Stains, dampstains. Infrequent worming. Slight damage to two title pages and to several other leaves, repaired with paper. Ownership inscriptions. Fine new leather bindings.
