mammele:Argentina had a Jewish population of hundreds of thousands Jews until very recently. Very few were satmerer chassidim. Whoever was appointed to be the Satmerer rov was for the Hungarian jews who came to Argentina after the war. Very commendable, but let us not gild the lily-it was not to save the sefardim. You say “hassidim,in the hundreds”, well, the Lubavitcher have Sefardi chassidim who are in the tens of thousands.
Look, The satmerer rebbe had his shittah and ,for many jews, he has been very successful. Just look around you. However, his shittah on Israel is far from any reality .
