Jewish Insider reports that speaking at the Chof Alef Kislev celebration of Rav Aharon Teitelbaum of Satmar’s kehillah in the Brooklyn Armory, the New York Democrat said, “I know Hashem gave me that name for a reason to be a ‘shomer’ for this great chassidishe community here and for Yiddishkeit throughout the world. I promise you I always will try to live up to my name — to be a Shomer Yisroel,” he said at the Armory.
He also praised the Satmar education system “for teaching our young boys the great Torah values that have been so important to our people for so long.
