Moshe ( Moses ) Teitelbaum ( November 1, 1914 – April 24, 2006 ) was a Hasidic rebbe and the world leader of the Satmar Hasidim, which is believed to be one of the largest Hasidic communities in the world, with some 120, 000 followers.

Following Teitelbaum's death, a major split developed among the Satmar Hasidim as to who should become their leader.

Our hearts and prayers are with the Satmar community in this city and worldwide as they mourn the passing of their beloved spiritual leader.

He is the official leader of 10 other synagogues in Williamsburg ; the main Satmar shul in Boro Park and its branches ; the main Satmar shul in London and its branches ; the main Satmar shul in Bnei Brak and its branches ; the Satmar shul in Jerusalem named after the work authored by his late father, Beirach Moshe.

Up to 1999, the wide perception within the community was that after the death of Rabbi Moshe, Satmar would remain one united sect under one rebbe, presumably Rabbi Aaron, since he is the eldest son and a prominent Talmudic scholar, and being the leader of Kiryas Joel, he held the highest post in Satmar, besides his father.

Outside the Satmar Hasidic community, Teitelbaum is probably best known for his opposition to all forms of modern political Zionism, and for his controversial statements in which he blamed the Zionists for the death of six million Jews during the Holocaust.
