Thousands of Satmar Chasidim Gathered Together To Celebrate Kuf Alef Kislev. This event is held yearly as a Celebration of the Rescue of The legendary Satmar Rebbe, Reb Yoel Teitelbaum, (1887-1979) From Natzi Germany

Brooklyn, NY – On 21 Kislev 1944, the Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum zatzal, was rescued from the Bergen-Belson Nazi concentration camp along with 1368 other Jews. Since then, for the past 65 years, Satmar Hasidim have celebrated the day as a day of festivities which includes Divrei Torah, singing, and meals. The idea is based upon the notion of a personal Purim (See Chayei Odom Klal 41 for an elaboration).
