Der Blatt (Yiddish:דער בּלאַט,lit. "The Page" or "The Newspaper") is a weeklyYiddish newspaper published inNew York City bySatmarHasidim published by supporters of RabbiAaron Teitelbaum.[1]
Der Blatt was established in 2000, as a direct result of theSatmar succession feud. Prior to that time, there was only one Satmar newspaper,Der Yid. In the dispute over the succession,Der Yid came under the control of the supporters ofZalman Teitelbaum. This left rival supporters of his brother,Aaron Teitelbaum, without a platform forcommunication andpublic relations, prompting them to establish a newspaper of their own.[1][2] The resulting publication promotes Aaron, rather than Zalman, as the legitimate successor of the previousrebbe,Moshe Teitelbaum. The publication adheres to a strict interpretation oftzniut that prohibits photographs of women on its pages.Der Blatt follows Satmar'santi-Zionist stance.[2]Der Yid andDer Blatt function “more or less as official state organs” for Zalman and Aaron Teitelbaum respectively.[1]
In November 2020,Der Blatt broke the news of the wedding of Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum's grandson, which was held during theCovid-19 pandemic.[3]
