A Word to the Satmar Rebbe
Shabbos & Yom Tov
In the 1950s the Satmar Rebbe, Rav Yoel Teitelbaum, was visiting Yerushalayim. Chacham Tzadka asked his talmid Rav Mordechai Eliyahu to arrange a meeting for him with the Rebbe.
The Rebbe had the practice of riding in a car on Friday afternoon after sundown, relying on the rulings of Rabbeinu Tam. Chacham Tzadka, who saw this as a violation of Shabbos, told the Satmar Rebbe to stop.
