You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Romanian Hasidic dynasty))
((unreferenced|date=September 2017))
'''Siget''' or '''Ujhel-Siget''' or '''Sighet''' [[Hasidic Judaism|Hasidism]], or '''Sigter Hasidim''', is a movement of  [[History of the Jews in Hungary|Hungarian]] [[Haredi Judaism|Haredi]] [[Jews]] who adhere to [[Hasidic Judaism|Hasidism]], and who are referred to as ''Sigeter Hasidim''.

Sighet Hasidism originated in the town of [[Sighetu Marmației|Máramarossziget]], [[Kingdom of Hungary|Hungary]] (((lang-yi|סיגעט)), now [[Sighetu Marmației]], [[Romania]]). Siget is the parent dynasty of the more famous Satmar Hasidic dynasty. Since 1980, the leadership of Siget and [[Satmar (Hasidic dynasty)|Satmar]] have been united in the person of the [[Honorifics in Judaism#Admo"r|Admor]] of Satmar, though the two groups continue to operate separate [[synagogue]]s and retain differences in certain customs.

==Founding==
[[Hasidic Judaism|Hasidism]] was brought to Hungary by Rabbi [[Moshe Teitelbaum (Ujhel)|Moshe Teitelbaum of Ujhel]] (known as the "''Yismach Moshe''"), a disciple of the "Chozeh of Lublin", Rabbi [[Yaakov Yitzchak of Lublin]]. The Sighet Hasidic dynasty began with [[Rabbi]] [[Yekusiel Yehuda Teitelbaum (I)]] (1808–1883), his grandson. The town of Sighet was in need of a rabbi to lead the [[Beth din|Beis Din]] and answer the Jewish towns-people's religious questions. Teitelbaum applied, and was accepted. During his career, he authored his famous book, ''Yetev Lev''.

He was succeeded by his son, Rabbi [[Chananya Yom Tov Lipa Teitelbaum]] (1836-1904). Rabbi Chanaya Yom Tov Lipa's most famous contribution to Sighter Hasidus is the work ''Kedushas Yom Tov'', a commentary on the [[Chumash (Judaism)|Chumash]]. After him, it would become customary for the Rebbe of Sighet to author a commentary on the [[Torah]]. He was also the father of [[Rabbi]] [[Joel Teitelbaum]], who, at the time, was known as the [[illui]] (child prodigy) from Sighet.

After his death in 1904, it was not clear which of his sons would succeed him. Rabbi [[Chaim Tzvi Teitelbaum]] was his oldest son, and, thus, the apparent heir; but [[Joel Teitelbaum]] was the most famous of his children. Rabbi Joel accepted a position as the [[posek]] and [[Av Beit Din|Av Beis Din]] of the town of [[Satu Mare|Satmar]], and  Rabbi Chaim Tzvi took inherited leadership of Sighet. Rabbi Chaim Tzvi authored his own work, Atzei Chaim, a name by which he himself is commonly known. He had two sons, who he orphaned early in life: Rabbi [[Yekusiel Yehuda Teitelbaum (II)|Yekusiel Yehuda Teitelbaum]], who succeeded him; and Rabbi [[Moses Teitelbaum]].

==Destruction in Europe==
((Unsourced|section|date=December 2022))
It was during the reign of Rabbi Yekutiel Yehuda Teitelbaum that the [[Holocaust]] came to Hungary. Hungary was officially a German ally, but had refused to send its Jews to Germany without knowing their exact fate. Hungary, like [[Switzerland]] and [[Spain]], was thus perceived as a relative haven for Jews, and many Jews who could have escaped to [[Romania]] remained in Hungary, believing it to be safe. Jews from other points in Europe, including the Admor from [[Belz]], also sneaked into Hungary to escape the Holocaust.

In 1944, however, Germany [[Operation Margarethe|invaded]] Hungary and deported its Jews to the [[Auschwitz concentration camp]], including the inhabitants of Máramarossziget. Rabbi Yekutiel Yehuda Teitelbaum and his family all were murdered in Auschwitz, with the exception of [[Moses Teitelbaum]].

After [[the Holocaust]], Moses Teitelbaum assumed control of the Sighet Hasidic group, and was faced with many painful and difficult questions in Jewish law. He also had to cope with the loss of his wife and children. He survived the Holocaust, and moved back to Sighet for a brief time, before the persecution of religious Hungarians by the Communists became too great. He then moved to America.

== Rebuilding in America ==
((Unsourced|section|date=December 2022))
In America, Moshe Teitelbaum began rebuilding the Sighet Hasidic group within his uncle Yoel Teitelbaum's stronghold of the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, and later moving to the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, where he established a Siget synagogue. After Rebbe Moshe Teitelbaum moved to Boro Park, his son, Rabbi Aharon, the current Satmar Rebbe of Kiryas Joel, became the rabbi of the Siget synagogue in Williamsburg. 

Currently, one of his sons, Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Teitelbaum, is the rabbi in the Siget synagogue in Williamsburg. After Rebbe Moshe became Satmar Rebbe upon the passing of his uncle Rebbe Yoel, his son, Rabbi Zalman, the current Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg, became the rabbi of the Siget synagogue in Boro Park, a post he kept until he was assigned by his father to be the rabbi of the Satmar synagogue in Jerusalem. Currently, one of Rebbe Zalman's sons, Rabbi Yaakov Ber Teitelbaum, is the rabbi in the Siget synagogue in Boro Park.
