He was renowned from his youth as a leading Torah scholar of his generation, for his perspicacity and intellectual capacities, as well as for his holiness and outstanding purity. At a young age, he was appointed rabbi of Irshava. In 1925, he was appointed rabbi of Karaly (Carei; in place of Rabbi Shaul Brach who went to serve as rabbi of Kashoi), and in 1934, of Satmar (Satu Mare). In all the places he served as rabbi, he also maintained a large yeshiva and Chassidic court. He stood at the helm of the faithful, uncompromising Orthodox Jewry in the Maramureș region. He was one of the founding pillars of the Torah world in the generation following the Holocaust. After surviving the Holocaust, he emigrated to the United States, where he established the Satmar Chassidic community – the largest Chassidic community in the world. He served as president of the Eda HaCharedit in Jerusalem, and as leader of Orthodox Jewry in the United States and throughout the world. His writings were published in dozens of books: VaYoel Moshe, Responsa Divrei Yoel, Divrei Yoel on the Torah and more. The Holiness of Items of Tzaddikim – In the Teachings of Rebbe Yoel of Satmar In several places in his book Divrei Yoel on the Torah, the Rebbe describes the tremendous virtue of the belongings of the Tzaddik, which have the power to endow holiness for generations, since the ”sparks of holiness” endure in them. Based on this concept, the Rebbe explains Yosef's influence on the Egyptians, who were sustained from his produce during the famine and drew from it ”spiritual vibrancy”: ”…the property of Tzaddikim has the power to impart spiritual vibrancy…” (Divrei Yoel, Shemot, p. 33). Regarding the ”aspect of holiness” contained in the belongings of Tzaddikim from ”the root of their soul”, he writes: ”The possessions of Tzaddikim are precious to them… since they contain an aspect of the root of their soul… as they are particular not to steal…” (Divrei Yoel, Vayetze, p. 92).
