One of the Satmar factions in New York took to Twitter to respond to I the “substantial equivalency” push in New York targeting yeshivas and other non-public education.
Writing online, Satmar Headquarters, under the Twitter handle @HQSatmar, stated, “During the last 70 years tens of thousands of students have graduated from our #Satmar School System not a single student ever murdered a human being (unlike the “substantially equivalent” Public School system).”
The statement ended by sharing, “We are proud of our success and will continue without State control!”

They’ll have to do better than that
Wierd response
So because they didn’t murder they don’t need to teach English?
Show me who is more successful in every endeavour (not sure you know what it means since you are highlt educated)
Moster and his gang are a bunch of losers a self hating garbage.
Yeh. Me no merdered nobody!
This isn’t about murder per se. It’s about disgruntled and disenfranchised former Satmar student and his campaign to right his wrong.
He was never Satmar, nor did he attend Satmar mosdos. Stop using Satmar as a catchphrase.
Satmar should’ve put out this headline, from July 19 2022
More than 4,000 people flocked to the Garden State on Wednesday for the first-ever trade show dedicated to furthering business within the Satmar community.
Held at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison, the full day expo was a project of Congregation Yetev Lev D’Satmar and the Hisachdus Avreichim D’Satmar. The show cast the spotlight on the community’s thriving entrepreneurial spirit, with over 300 booths reflecting the Satmar presence in a wide variety of industries including finance, insurance, real estate, construction, technology, health care, food, publishing and more.
Its a good point!
What Today’s NY Times “Hit Piece” against Hasidic Yeshivos omitted
They complained about one billion dollars in state aid to Yeshivos (2,500 per student), while failing to mention ONE TRILLION dollars in federal aid to college students (10-30 thousand dollars per student), and $28,000 per public school student K—12.
They interviewed suicidal and homeless FORMER HASIDIM, who left our community, while ignoring the many Hasidim who have established successful businesses, and who are successful tradesmen, thereby presenting a lopsidedly grim picture, based on carefully cherry-picked examples.
They mention the well-known disgruntled lapsed-Hasid Naftali Moster of Y.A.F.F.E.D. only once, but it is obvious that he was the guiding influence behind this Hit Piece.

I guess the three commentators above were not beneficiaries of ‘gemara education’ otherwise they would understand the depth and brilliance the comment from Satmar contains and the message it implies. I was blessed with this gift and will therefore explain, the comment is trying to say that while many public-school students are highly educated in literature mathematics and the like, a yeshiva education’s greatest focus in on moral living, loving thy neighbor and a deep relationship with G-D. And while we generally don’t produce William Shaekspears, our students are safe-kind members of society who bring goodness to those around them. On the other hand, the number of criminals per capita emerging from the public school system is astounding. Satmar therefore does need guidance from their education directives as apparently, they have much to learn in terms of providing a well-rounded education. If a dentist was good at whitening but would shave off people’s teeth from time to time, would you as a dentist accept his guidance or critique. As we say not to the bee -not from your honey and not from your sting. We want none of it!
When informed on Sunday of Satmar’s response that no Satmar student has ever murdered a human being, a NY Times official told Times reporters: “The spilling of blood is not an important issue for us at the deranged Times. In fact, the Times often staunchly defends murderers. We even published an op-ed article from a Hamas spokesman several years ago, and we’re proud of it. We’re also proud of the fact that we hid the murder of 6 million Jews from our readership during the holocaust. Bottom line: No one defends the murder of jews and societal perversion the way we do! And we have a whole archives of newspapers to back up this claim! We’ll match our perversion with any mainstream media perversion any day of the week!”
Ah, you’re good!
Wonderful!!

All I can say is that I am a product of the Litvishe yeshivos, went to school ,got my CPA, and my Satmar clients are making a lot more money than me….
I don’t mirdur kenem. I stytuy vell enough factt I geven a salutirian. Alle zennen mir Mikkana. I vill spi in dat papar. You wiate and zeh.
Ha ha ha. Zeyr gut.
The Yeshiva system just like the Public School system is not monolithic. There are different levels of education.
At their “worst” Yeshivas don’t come close to the worst Public Schools.
So my advice to the Board of Regents is clean out your house before you try to clean out somebody else’s.
I also wonder what the city would do if all the Yeshivas and Basis Yakovs would suddenly close their doors and the Public School system would have to absorb all these students.
$2,500 per student vs $28.000 per student.
Let them do the math if they can.
Satmar should use woke ideas and language to turn the tables.
Imagine an ancient Indian tribe speaking mungbo and learning traditional logic would suddenly be forced by white colonists to learn foreign white languages and literatures.
Would the NYTimes find 5 tribe members that are homeless and say that the tribe with its ancient traditions should be abolished as they can’t integrate in white culture ?
Chassidim are trying to protect a 3000 year old traditional way of life and intellectuals decided they need to learn literature, spelling and algebra?! Shame on them.
But yet the kleineh kep are still supporting the rishanta Hochul. For shame. Pheh.
The satmar leadership should stop.endorsing low life liberals
.and stop taking government money. G-d has enough kosher money available
Interesting. Why does satmar vote democratic? Who was the last republicans they endorsed?
Nathan Miller in 1921.
You got it. I am not sure they do.
If there ever was a murder or any other gross abuse, you wouldn’t know it.
If there ever was a hater or any other gross despiser, I would definitely know the person is a hater by reading what the hater writes.
The good news regarding Moster and his gang is he/they wont have any children
a yeshiva education, whether satmar, litvish, day school, teaches its student how to think, how to study, how ro ask questions. the robbonim who paskin shailos , depending on their specific area of expertise, study independently medicine, technology, commerce, among other areas. they must, in order to make torah- legal decisions. the rest of the world should be imploring us to explain how we do it
indeed, most of our kids, by the time they hit third grade, are reading fluently two different languages, in two different alphabets, from two different directions.
