Congregation Yetev Lev D'Satmar (Rodney Street, Brooklyn)

Congregation Yetev Lev D'Satmar is a large Satmar Hasidic synagogue located at Rodney Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It was constructed to replace the previous main Satmar synagogue on Bedford Avenue, which could no longer accommodate its growing membership. It is now the main synagogue for followers of Zalman Teitelbaum, son of the deceased Satmar rebbe Moshe Teitelbaum.
