Editing Satmar (section)

==Institutions==
The sect operates numerous community foundations. ''Bikur Cholim'' ("Visiting the sick"), established in 1957 by Teitelbaum's wife Alte Feiga, concerns itself with helping hospitalized Jews, regardless of affiliation. ''Rav Tuv'', founded in the 1950s to help Jews in the Soviet Union, aids Jewish refugees. Today, the organization mostly helps [[Persian Jews|Jews from Iran]] and [[Yemenite Jews|Yemen]]. ''Keren Hatzolah'' is a charitable fund to support [[yeshiva]]s and the poor in Israel, providing for those who shun government benefits.

Teitelbaum founded a network of large educational institutions, both [[Mesivta|yeshivas]] and [[Bais_Yaakov#Hasidic_schools|girls' schools]]. If its schools in New York were a public school system, it would be the fourth-largest system in the state, after those of New York City, Buffalo, and Rochester.<ref name=nyt/> In most places, the girls' schools are called ''Beis Rochel'', and the yeshivas ''Torah VeYirah''. In 1953, Teitelbaum founded the [[Central Rabbinical Congress of the United States and Canada]], which provides various services, including ''[[kashrut]]'' supervision.

[[Yeshiva gedolah|Senior yeshivas]] include the [[United Talmudical Seminary]] and ''Yeshivas Maharit D'Satmar''. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://yeshivasmaharit.org/|title=Yeshivas Maharit D'Satmar|website=yeshivasmaharit.org}}</ref> Satmar also operates its own [[Beth din|rabbinical courts]], which settle various issues within the community by the principles of Jewish Law.

The sect has a Yiddish newspaper called ''[[Der Yid]]'', now privatized, and various other Yiddish publications. It is currently identified with Zalman's  Hasidim; whereas ''[[Der Blatt]]'', established in 2000, is owned and run by a follower of Aaron's.

In 1994, the U.S. Supreme Court held, in ''[[Board of Education of Kiryas Joel Village School District v. Grumet]],'' that a school district whose boundaries had been drawn to include only Satmar children violated the [[Establishment Clause]] of the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution]].

In February 2025, the [[New York State Education Department]] cut funding to two Satmar yeshivas for failing to meet secular education standards in core subjects such as English and math.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Elia-Shalev |first=Asaf |title=Two NYC Yeshivas Are Not Meeting Standards and Must Effectively Close, State Rules |url=https://www.jta.org/2025/02/19/united-states/2-nyc-yeshivas-are-not-meeting-standards-and-must-effectively-close-state-rules |date=February 19, 2025 |work=[[Jewish Telegraph Agency]]|access-date=February 20, 2025}}</ref> As of May 2025, legislation was pending which would delay consequences for Hasidic and other religious schools that failed to meet secular standards and make it significantly easier for such schools to demonstrate compliance with the law.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Oreskes |first=Benjamin |last2=Shapiro |first2=Eliza |last3=Ashford |first3=Grace |date=2025-05-08 |title=Hochul, Looking to 2026, Pushed to Weaken Oversight of Religious Schools |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/nyregion/new-york-kathy-hochul-hasidic-schools.html |access-date=2025-05-09 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
