KIRYAS JOEL (VINnews) – Masks, social distancing and a very limited guest list are being required by the state at a Kiryas Joel wedding tonight, after Department of Health issued a cease and desist order for the planned celebration of the marriage of the grandson of the Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum.

New York State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker slapped the directive on Congregation Yetev Lev, the site of the wedding, one hour after details of the wedding surfaced in The Daily Beast (https://bit.ly/3769B0I). Separate receptions will be held for men and women in different locations, with attendance limited at each one to 50 masked and socially distanced guests, reported The Times Herald Record (https://bit.ly/2HtVyth).

Governor Cuomo has minced no words regarding weddings that fail to comply with regulations, saying that he would launch a full investigation into a large Satmar wedding that was held last week.

Speaking about yet another Satmar wedding that was subject to strict enforcement in mid-October and had paparazzi swarming Williamsburg in droves, Cuomo said that marriages could go on as scheduled, albeit on a smaller scale, as previously reported on VIN News.

“You can get married,” said Cuomo. “You just can’t get a thousand people at your wedding. You get the same results at the end of the day. It’s also cheaper!”

It is unclear what if any enforcement will be in effect at tonight’s wedding in Kiryas Joel.

The איטאַליענישער שטיק דרעק has spoken.has nothing to do with the fact that BH they’ve had little to no cases over the last many weeks.

The bottom line is א פערד בלייבט א פערד!

How can anyone believe in a rabbe that allows these huge weddings with no regard to the chilul hashem or the repercussions that could come out if it.
He needs to get their priorities straight

DerBlatt writers and editors are kindergarten type mentality. They love splashy sensational Yiddish news.

The Satmar Kehila should have a oversight on the paper if not they don’t deserve better.

Having said, it doesn’t minimize the egotistic of this joke of a governor who declared himself as king and nanny who treats every single New Yorker as slaves and children.

We New Yorkers do not deserve any better.

Over thirty thousand people died most of them because of Cuomo’s negligence and carelessness. And he is still the governor.

He refuses the new vaccine out of jealousy of Trump.And he is still governor.

He shows openly which community he will punish and which community he wont. And he is still governor,

Shame on us.

Some of the language in these comments is beyond shameful. Our families in shamayim are surely crying. Vos iz Neis should censor these words and ban the posters.

Does anyone believe that there will be masks and social distancing? I sure do not think this will happen. Hope the police check this out.

dina d’malkusa dina means that the law of the land is to be obeyed, even if it appears not logical it should not be made light of in the public’s eyes.

Idiots for publishing the last ones in der blatt. They also need to ban any cell phones or attendees from carrying any technological devices so no videos or pics can be taken. Its dangerous times . Satmar needs to play the game better
