As thousands of Chassidim joined the Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg in the Barclay’s Center to mark the 80th anniversary of “Chof Alef Kislev”, a historic initiative was announced by the renowned philanthropist and pillar of Chesed, R’ Yoel Landau.
R’ Yoel announced that together with philanthropist R’ Yaakov Schwimmer, and in collaboration with the dedicated administration of Satmar institutions in Williamsburg, they will giving a stunning 30% salary increase to the hundreds of devoted Rabbeyim and teachers in Satmar Mosdos!
This groundbreaking development was finalized during a meeting last week at the residence of the Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg, attended by prominent philanthropists, and institutional leaders.
This initiative sets a new global standard, demonstrating the true value of Rabbeyim and unwavering dedication to Torah education and the future of Klal Yisroel.
This is by far the largest and most significant salary increase in the history of Torah and education institutions in America.
The historic initiative, worth tens of millions of dollars, is being carried out with the extraordinary support of philanthropic Satmar magnates and the relentless efforts of institutional leadership to achieve this lofty goal.

Nice- this affects all future salaries and raises in Satmar.
Unlike the TU raises, where the schools were forced to keep the raise without anyone covering it (you can’t lower the teachers salary the next year(, putting the schools into a really hard position, Satmar is supported by philanthropists and so the raise will be continued to be supported year after year.
Can’t help but laugh at the Torah U’Mesorah conference that just ended. High time Torah U’Mesorah takes a page out of the chassidims lesson book.
I don’t want to take away from this very positive gesture. However, if a rebbi was making $100,000 then 30% would be $123000 that’s a nice raise, but most rebbeim are making between 50,000 and 60,000 so 30% puts them at 65,000 – 78000 That would be a nice bonus. I would suggest he put up money for wedding expenses or set up a pension plan which most yeshivos do not have. Many rebbeim live from paycheck to paycheck and when they have to retire, they have zero savings
Why not make this story purposeful and provide a video of some of the Torah said by the Rebbe?
The important thing here is to give to the poor like it says in Gemara from the sons of the poor be careful that from them torah
How about using the money to lower tuition?
ah yid must have gone to some cheder where Hakoras Hatov is not part of daily living. I bet you will not find one Satmar melamed who does not have immense Hakoras Hatov to these dedicated philanthropists. This is an outstanding commitment that deserves only praise. I am sure those covering this great expense do not your eitzas about how to spend their money either. And as for smart alec WiseSage58, make your life more purposeful by staying away from the Internet and devote it to Torah.
@Yaschiff, Satmar tuition is already the lowest of any school. If they’d want to lower the tuition, they’d have to have the schools pay the students to come.
Yoile Landau is a tremendous baal tzedakah. He gives millions of dollars for yomtov expenses and he is a very nice person.
