A huge wedding took place about two weeks ago under the radar and in complete secrecy at the Satmar storks in New York, contrary to Corona's guidelines.

The New York Times reports that on November 8, crowds gathered at the Yitav Lev seminary in the Williamsburg neighborhood to celebrate the wedding of Joel Teitelbaum, the grandson of the current Rebbe of the Satmar Chassidim, Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum.

In order to carry out the celebration, which is strictly forbidden due to the corona guidelines, the Satmar storks had to make sure that thousands of participants did not betray the event.

The information about the wedding was passed on by word of mouth to the members of the storks.

They spoke to each other in Yiddish and not in English so that the authorities and the press would not find out about the planning.

"Due to government restrictions, the preparations were made in secret and discreetly so as not to attract attention," the Hasidic newspaper Der Blatt reported in Yiddish after the wedding.

"All announcements of the festivities were word of mouth, with no written or pseudonymous messages, no invitations sent by mail and not even in any report, including in this newspaper," it read.

Pictures posted after the event show a hall full of people, most of whom are not wearing masks.

In all, there were about 7,000 participants in the event, according to the New York Times.

"How well we shared that we had such an experience," spilled in the Hasidic newspaper.

The New York Times reported that following the huge violation, authorities opened an investigation.

"Meetings of this magnitude are unacceptable, and they affect all people who have died as a result of the virus," a New York City spokesman said.
