R. Moshe Teitelbaum (the Beirach Moshe), was the Admor of Sighet, assuming the position of his father, R. Chaim Tzvi Teitelbaum, after his older brother, R. Yekusiel Yehudah Teitelbaum perished in the Holocaust. Orphaned at age ten, R. Moshe had been raised by his uncle, R. Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar. When the latter passed away in 1979, R. Moshe was appointed his successor. His sons, R. Zalman and R. Aharon, are the current competing Rebbes of Satmar.
