Members of the Satmar kehilla in Jerusalem gathered at the home of the Rav of the kehilla HaRav Moshe Teitelbaum following the massive fire that destroyed three Satmar buildings in Geulah in the early hours of Shabbos morning, including a Beis Medrash, a shul and a Talmud Torah. The members of the kehilla spoke to the Satmar Rebbe by telephone and the Rebbe decided that a day of teshuvah and fasting will be held on Tuesday, Zayin Adar. Sadly, two Sifrei Torah that were burned as well as many sets of Tefillin and mezuzos have to be buried. The levaya will take place on Monday evening. The tefillos and shiurei Torah at Satmar have been temporarily relocated to the Vizhnitzer  tischim hall on Rechov Talmudi. אנשי החברה קדישא מטפלים בספרי התורה שעלו באש בשריפה בשבת בבית כנסת סאטמר בירושלים pic.twitter.com/LqfmUn4sIn — חיים גולדברג (@haim_goldberg) February 26, 2023 (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
