Fight In Satmar Shul Erupts Over Weberman Case

All was allegedly not well at the Satmar Aharon faction’s Hooper Street synagogue on Simchas Torah. Abe Rubin, the man who tried to bribe Nechemya Weberman’s victim and her boyfriend to drop the charges against Weberman, allegedly punched the rebbe’s gabbai Rabbi Chaim Shlomo Fisher.

A Williamsburg source tells me that all was allegedly not well at the Satmar Aharonite faction’s Hooper Street synagogue on Simchas Torah morning.

Abe Rubin, the man who tried to bribe Nechemya Weberman’s victim and her boyfriend to drop the charges against Weberman, allegedly punched the rebbe’s gabbai Rabbi Chaim Shlomo  Fisher over the rebbe's endorsement of Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J. Hynes. Rubin was upset that Fisher allowed Hynes to visit the rebbe and gain the rebbe's endorsement without first insisting that Hynes drop his case against Rubin.

After Rubin punched Fisher, a large fight allegedly erupted in the synagogue.

The rebbe was apparently told that the fight started because Abe Rubin was drunk.

Rubin pleaded guilty last month and will likely serve no time in jail, because Hynes gave Rubin a sweetheart plea deal.

Apparently that was not enough to placate Rubin, who has a reputation for being extremely volatile.

Weberman is serving a 50-year prison sentence for repeatedly sexually abusing a young hasidic girl over a several year period beginning when the girl was 12-years-old.

For many ignorant Jews and non-Jews, THIS is the face of Judaism.

To Y L
NO this is NOT the face of Judaism.
This is the face of Satmar and new square.
Please don't compare Judaism and the scum that live upstate NY.

Seymour: thanks for clarifying. You are spot on. I know this isn't Judaism, but my students always ask me (not in a nasty way, but curiously) "Where are your curls?"

when i first read the headline i was hoping the fight was a result of a group upset by the community's and rebbes support of the child rapist weberman. but of course thats not the case.
