Williamsburg, Brooklyn – Eliot Spitzer Skips One Rebbe’s Shiva

    6

    Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY – Gubernatorial candidate Eliot Spitzer got his signals mixed when he made a shiva call to only one of the feuding sons of late Satmar Grand Rebbe Moses Teitelbaum, snubbing the son from Orange County, NY.

    Spitzer’s representatives said the state attorney general wasn’t trying to slight Aron Teitelbaum – he just didn’t realize the rabbi was in Brooklyn, he simply thought Aron was still in Monroe, NY with his Kiryas Joel flock.
    Spitzer visited Zalmen Teitelbaum at his Williamsburg home. But he didn’t stop to see Aron, who is based in Orange County, but was at a Williamsburg residence as well.
    Sen. Chuck Schumer and City Controller William Thompson visited both brothers.

    “Eliot paid his respects to the great work and leadership of the deceased grand rabbi,” said a Spitzer aide. “This was not a political event, and no greater meaning should be read into it.”
    Last night, Spitzer’s representatives were scrambling to set up a shiva call to Aron Teitelbaum, to fix the political miscue. The shiva period of mourning for the late grand rebbe, who died last Monday, ends at 10 a.m. today.

    Aron Teitelbaum, 58, head of the Satmar congregation in Kiryas Joel, Orange County, accepted the mantel of new grand rebbe last week, claiming he had the backing of 75% of the sect’s members.
    But Zalmen Teitelbaum, 53, also claimed to be the new grand rebbe, citing his father’s will naming him successor to the post.

    in some other news today:
    ————————————
    He would not, perhaps, date him, but Roger Toussaint seems to have forgiven Eliot Spitzer for putting him in jail in his capacity as lawyer for the MTA.

    The News’s Pete Donohue spoke to Toussaint last week outside the the Jackie Gleeson Bus Depot in Brooklyn.

    โ€œIn all likelihood we will be supporting Spitzer,โ€ Toussaint said. โ€œAt the end of the day, the attorney general is the chief attorney for the state and we understood that.โ€
    ————————————–

    if people that he puts in jail can forgive him i dont see a big problem here

    Technically speaking, every religious organization belongs to the Attorney General, and he can technically have the last say. I wonder if this was intentional, and he is sending a message?
