סאסובער רבי זצ"ל

Nephew and son-in-law of the Satmar Rov - Reb Yoel. His mother was the Satmar Rov's sister. The original family name was Mayer, not Teitelbaum. He did not have children before his wife bas the Satmar Rov passed away in 5714/1954. He later remarried and had children. I came across this drawing and figured I'd post it - along with some pics for comparison. They made him look kind of like a movie character. He, unfortunately, passed away in his prime in 1966.

Just remembered I was present in SR room Elul 1965, when a man from Israel handed a "kvitel" to the SR a personal shlicas from his SIL. The SR reads and kind of jolted from his heavenly dream and said to the man loud: what happened I thought he is feeling better! they continued taking quietly. the SR was that year in Israel and went to visit his SIL in the hospital they both cried when met, the Israeli newspapers reported the 'story' with headlines that blared: !ים של דמע

His beard 'waive' style they used to call a קריעת ים-סוף בארד I know how a קמץ בארד looks like, or a ספירה בארד looks too, but I kind of imagining how would a מלחמות עמלק beared look like? I think a captured that waive now, but first I want to ask any suggestion?, oh and the 'wedge' in his beard in the painting looks deeper and wider than it actually was. it almost looks like the twelve tribes could fit in all together without any dividing lanes each in its own 'waive', very on real but really?.

A mexican sombrero hat penciled on a 'african' owl face, sorry but not Smithsonian quality.

H: "He later remarried and had children."

which unfortunately became orphans at a young age, and the SR and the rebetzin supported them true their adolescent years and helped them otherwise, his son was a regular by SR in monroe and has a lot of intimate historic stories that the SR told him..

From Wikipedia “Rabbi Lipa Meir Teitelbaum, a great-grandson of Rabbi Shlomo of Sassov and the founder of Kiryat Yismach Moshe in Ganei Tikva, in Israel, was the Sassov-Keretzky Rebbe. In his first marriage, he was the son-in-law of Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum of Satmar. He died in March 1966, and was subsequently succeeded by his two sons (both from his second marriage to Rebbetzin Bluma): Grand Rabbi Yoseph Dovid Teitelbaum,[2] the Sassover Rebbe in Kiryat Yismach Moshe and a son-in-law of Grand Rabbi David Moshe of Kretchnif (Rabbi Yoseph Dovid was a disciple of the previous Klausenberger Rebbe) and Rabbi Chanoch Henoch Teitelbaum, the Sassover Rebbe in Monsey, New York.[3]

Other children of Rabbi Lipa and Rebbetzin Bluma Teitelbaum are: Rabbis Moshe (Dayan of Satmar in Jerusalem) and Shlomo (Rebbe of Alesk) and Rebbetzin Esther (wife of Rabbi Dovid Manish Rabinowitz, son of the Biala Rebbe).[3]”

He was a true tzaddik. Had a Bais Hamedrash on 103rd Street. He married the Almonoh of the Gaon Rev Modechai Pogremansky, she lived until a few years ago. Their son is Sassover Rebbe in Kiryas Yismach Moshe and has a strong following. Another son has a Bais Hamedrash in Monsey.
