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.

About New York
New York City is one of the great centers of Jewish history in the modern world, a place where generations of immigrants turned exile into renewal. From the first Sephardic Jews who arrived in New Amsterdam in the 1600s, to the vast waves of Eastern European Jews who filled the Lower East Side with synagogues, yeshivas, newspapers, pushcarts, and prayer, the city became a living crossroads of Jewish memory and creativity. In its streets, Jewish tradition met America, giving rise to new forms of learning, activism, literature, commerce, and communal life that continue to shape Jewish identity across the world.
