Satmar Rebbe Joins for the Bris of Shliach’s son
This week, a unique bris-ceremony was held for the Orange County Jewish Community. On Tuesday, 16 Adar II, several hundred members of the Orange County community as well as family and friends gathered for the bris of Asher Zelig Burston, son of Rabbi Pesach and Chana Burston, Chabad Shluchim of Orange County New York.
The Bris was held at 6:00pm in the Rushmore Estate Ballroom, which is in the private estate of Dr. Seth & Nadine Pulver, close friends of the Burston’s.
Utilizing the event as an educational opportunity, Rabbi Burston gave a detailed overview of the Bris-ceremony and significance. Then, Rabbi Burston announced that the Satmar Rebbe, of Kiryas Joel, will be honored with being Sandek. The Satmar Rebbe, escorted by several of his chassidim, then entered the hall and mohel Rabbi Rabbi Eliyahu Shain of Crown Heights performed the bris.
After the Satmar Rebbe left, the guests sat down for a Seudas Mitzvah. This is believed to be the first time the Satmar Rebbe and the greater Orange County Jewish community joined for an event.

May Chabad and Satmar finely bury our past and may the bris of this young man be only the beginning of continued cooperation between out extended families. In this world of Galus we must join together in strength and harmony.
For as the Rebbe has said their are only two types of Jews, those that are Torah Observant and those that are not YET Torah observant.
May H”B bless us with the imminent coming to Moshiach and bring peach and Geulah to the world
A crown hieghtser
Thank you Rabbi Burston
I remember you very well as a bochur always with a smile and always ready to do the best for peace and harmony.
you are the rodeph sholom and osei sholom par excellence.
as we know the Rebbe went to be menachem over the Satmer and did all to continue the peace
on the other hand this Satmer Rebbe from Monroe has been out there keeping his connection in many ways with Chabad, here in NY and other places. ( i.e. Washington Florida and California), i personally have met with this Rebbe and he is a wonderful person a true leader, a tremendous talmud chochom with a great heart.
whereas the Brooklyn Satmer Rebbe isn’t “YET” there.as we have seen in the past.
Borcheinu avinu kulonu ke’echad, (as shiminke’ says it doesn’t mean a stranger it means your shver and sviger)
may all those have many brochos and hatzlacha in all of their endeavors.
may we be zoche to the geulah shleima now mamash

The baby is a great nephew of R’ Berel Weiss of Los Angeles…a big supporter of Satmar institutions.

Moshiach-s Tzeiten
What an incredible display of Achdus – the Satmar Rebbe being Sandek at a Lubavitcher Bris!
But then again, isn’t that how it SHOULD be? Should not this “achdus” be a Natural Phenomena amongst us? Are we not an Am Echod serving Hashem Echod? (Or at least that’s how we are Meant to be!)
Is it not time for ALL of us to realize that all the semi-labels we use to describe ourselves – Lubavitch, Satmar, Bobov, Litvish, Yekke, Sefardi, Belz, what have you – are Labels – designated to identify – PERHAPS – varieties of darkei avodah (halevai!)- but in ESSENCE, there is ONLY one true “label” identifying us: YIDDEN, Bnei Yisroel. PERIOD.
Look in ALL Chamishei Chumshei Toiroh, and see if you can find the word Satmar, Lubavitch, Lakewooder, Vishnitz, etc.
Perhaps when this “Natural Achdus” so missing in our chinuch and lives, penetrates our consciousness and permeates our lives, the Aibishter will have FINALLY found a home to live in, and will give Moshiach the keys to let Him in.
Borchainu Ovinu – Kulonu k’Echod!!!!
Yoeli gross
You chos
e to write rubbish. Satmar is mocking you
Chabad and Aroini
This is the real Satmar. Forget the clown show in Williamsburgh. It wasn’t even directed at us, it was directed at Reb Aron.
Reb Aron spoke words of chochma and ahavas Yisroel after Merkaz haRav, let alone after Mumbai.
He follows in the ways of Reb Yoilish ZYA, modified to take into account the American reality he was born into.
Yaarich ymei mamlachtoi!
