Teitelbaum’s family:”No State involvement in son’s funeral”
Jump to Comments
“According to a family member, “Holding a Zionist funeral for Teitelbaum, who was a Satmar Hasid, would desecrate the dead man’s honor.” The family demanded not to have a government representative at the funeral and that the casket, which will be flown into Israel today, would not be covered with the Israeli flag.”"Pfenheim, who attended the same yeshiva as Teitelbaum, added: “He wasn’t killed as an envoy of the State or as a Zionist person. He simply went there as a kashrut supervisor on behalf of an American kashrut system. He himself was an American citizen, and although he was a resident in Israel he wasn’t an Israeli national. ” more@Ynet.com
