The Belz'e dynasty, like most other Hasidic dynasties in the nineteenth century, was inherited, unlike the original Hasidic communities whose leaders did not pass over leadership to their offspring but to the most qualified disciple.
Satmar was very angered by his decision to send delegates to the secular Israeli "Knesset" and instruct his followers to vote.
Satmar was angered even more, and managed to obtain signatures from significant segments of the Hasidic and Ultra-Orthodox in an attempt to renounce and even ostracize the Belz'e Rebbe.

Rabbi Hillel Weinberg of the Central Rabbinical Congress, a Satmar organization (a dynasty of Hasidic Judaism that has a large community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn), attended the meeting and told the Forward that Bloomberg “says that he's not considering” a ban on the practice.
However, Weinberg added, the Satmar community would consider any restriction placed on Fischer to be a ban and would cause a reaction that could hurt Bloomberg at the polls in the upcoming election.
The split reflects a growing divide between Agudath Israel, the organization that is often seen as the primary representative of the ultra-Orthodox community, and some of the community's Hasidic members, who deny that the organization adequately represents their interests.

Aaron, Moses’s oldest son, was already head of the Satmars in Kiryas Joel, a Hasidic village in upstate New York.
Satmar is one of the largest Hasidic communities in New York City, and as a Hasid consults his rebbe on every issue from business plans to family worries and match-making, how would one man handle around 40,000 members in Williamsburg and 17,000 in Kiryas Joel, the Zalman side argued.
Each Hasidic linear follows a specific leader, and the rebbe is the central figure in a Hasid’s life.

 "Haskala, Hasiddim - New Book Reveals Darker Chapters In Hasidic History - Forward.com"
Based on clearly authentic Hasidic sources, Assaf reveals that many years before his 1814 window jump, the khoyze tried to throw himself off a mountaintop near the town of Lizensk and was saved from certain death only when his hiking companion, Rabbi Zelke of Grodzitsk, grasped his gartel in the nick of time.
In addition to their anti-Bratzlav activities, Assaf recounts the general tendency of the Talner and Skverer Hasidim to use intimidation and a variety of violent means, including death threats, rock throwing, home invasions and hostile synagogue takeovers, to “conquer” a string of shtetls in the southern Ukraine in the mid 1860s.
Assaf is not satisfied with verifying and clarifying the obscure scandals and crises of Hasidic history; equally important are the incredible lengths to which the internal chroniclers of Hasidic history have gone to censor, repress or recast these scandals.

 Sons start fight over who's boss
Two rival Teitelbaum sons whose supporters have been waging a bitter power struggle in court for five years each met with their partisans before the first funeral for the late rebbe Monday night in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and each was announced as the rightful successor, community members said yesterday.
Followers of Zalmen Teitelbaum, the brother who leads the main Satmar congregation in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, boast that a will signed by the grand rebbe on March 4, 2002 - and read aloud before a rabbinical court that night - vindicates their rabbi by naming him the successor.
Supporters of Zalmen's older brother, Aron, chief rabbi of the dominant Satmar congregation in Kiryas Joel, question both the validity of the will and its ability to transfer power in the Satmar dynasty.

 The Civil War of the Satmars | MetaFilter
May 6, 2006 10:27 AM The War For Hasidic Williamsburg: Immediately after the recent death of the Satmar Grand Rebbe his two sons went to war over over which one will be the new leader of what is perhaps the largest Hasidic sect in the United States.
(The Satmars consider everybody else, including other Jews, to be irrelevant) Some Lubavitcher believe that their Grand Rebbe, who died in 1994, was the Messiah and they are still awaiting his resurrection.
A lot of the old Hasidic dynasties started that way, when they weren't started simply by a rebbe moving to another village; I gather the "geographical solution/s", "colonizing" another Brooklyn neighborhood and/or starting another upstate "hasidistan", ain't likely.
