On Tuesday the New York Daily News reported that the Satmar Rebbe of Kiryas Yoel, Rav Aaron Teitelbaum gave a Drasha to his thousands of followers in response to the city Education Department’s investigation into its schools for failing to provide adequate secular education as required by law.
“These are bad times for us Jews,” said the Satmar Rebbe. “We need to pray to Hashem that (city officials) should not interfere with the upbringing of our children.”
“Worthless … snitches” in the community are urging the government to take action “which the government doesn’t even want,” the Rebbe continued.
Last summer the Education Department announced that more than a dozen private schools would be investigated to make sure their curriculum follows secular education standards.
