Grand Rebbe Zalman Leib Teitelbaum

1951 CE · Modern · New York

R. Zalman Leib Teitelbaum (b. 1951), the younger son of R. Moshe Teitelbaum (Berach Moshe), is the senior Satmar Rebbe of the Zali faction, based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He was appointed by his father shortly before the latter's death in 2006 over his older brother R. Aaron, triggering the still-unresolved Satmar succession split. He leads the larger of the two factions and oversees the Williamsburg main beit midrash, the largest Hasidic synagogue in the world.
