About Satmar
Satmar, a prominent Hasidic Jewish group, was established in 1905 by Grand Rebbe Joel Teitelbaum in Szatmárnémeti, Hungary. After World War II, it was re-established in New York and has since expanded significantly, now encompassing approximately 26,000 households and nearly 300,000 individuals globally. This growth makes it one of the largest Hasidic dynasties, which may influence planning applications and community development in areas with significant Satmar populations.
