Copy of Rebbetzin Chava Teitelbaum – first wife of Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum, rabbi of Satmar (the rebbe may have also used the siddur over the years).

Rebbetzin Chava Teitelbaum (ca. 1880s – 1936), daughter of R. Avraham Chaim Horowitz Rabbi of Polaniec (from the Rozvadov-Ropshitz dynasty). She married R. Yoel Teitelbaum in Shevat 1904 (several days before the passing of her father-in-law the Kedushat Yom Tov). The couple settled in Satmar, where her husband gathered an elite group of disciples and chassidim, whom he taught Torah and Chassidut. Her husband later served as rabbi of Orsheva (Irshava), Karoly (Carei; from 1925) and Satmar (from 1934), managing in each of these places a large yeshiva and Chassidic court. He stood at the helm of faithful, uncompromising Orthodox Jewry in the Maramureș region. Three daughters were born to the rebbe from his wife Rebbetzin Chava, all of which passed away in their father's lifetime without leaving descendants: the eldest, Esther, died in her youth in 1921. The second daughter, Rachel Teitelbaum, married her cousin R. Yekutiel Yehuda Teitelbaum, rebbe of Sighet, and passed away at the age of twenty in 1931. The third daughter, Chaya Raizel, married her cousin the Rebbe Chananya Yom Tov Lipa Meyer-Teitelbaum of Sassov. She passed away in Cheshvan 1954 and was buried in the Tiberias cemetery.
