How is a chassidus led from a resort town in California?

Satmar Rebbe on vacation - and davens in Chabad: The Rebbe is currently staying in the resort town of Palm Springs, California, for rest. The Beit Midrash used for prayers and teachings of the Rebbe is the local Chabad House. At the end of davening, the Rebbe stays and learns for hours.


However, on Shabbos, prayers are held at his inn, and he is joined by a number of local people or followers who were given the opportunity to come to the city for Shabbos.

The chassidus, who have established conservatism, it seems, knows how to exploit the technological innovations for preserving the relationship between the Rebbe and the chassidim, who remained in Kiryat Yoel in Monroe, New York. The fax machine at the hostel constantly emits pages, scribbled with the Torah answers written by the of yeshiva students of Satmar in Kiryat Yoel. The reason for this is: when the Rebbe separated from his students, before leaving to rest, he brought before them a strong Talmudic question, and asked them to send their answers to the resort town.


This was, of course, an important incentive and encouragement to the students to toil in Torah.

In Satmar, like other chasidic courts, The Rebbes used these weeks, the days of shvbby"m, to devote their Divrei Torah during seuda shlishit on Shabbos, on this topic and read to the public to strengthen in Torah, repentance, prayer, mitzvot and good deeds.


Since the Rebbe is staying far away from his usual place, the words of the Rebbe, are said after the arrival time of Rabbeinu Tam, on broadcast - live to a special telephone line, where the chassidim can listen.


The broadcast takes place three hours after Rabbeinu Tam in New York, due to the time difference between the cities.
