Satmar Rebbe late to community event due to woman's presence
The Satmar rebbe was supposed to attend the inauguration of his community' new compound in Jerusalem Wednesday evening and address his followers at 7:30 P.M. However, he arrived only at 9:30 P.M., and by the time this was written had not yet begun his speech.
Had this been a secular politician, the delay would have been explained by a desire to coincide with television's prime time news broadcasts. In Satmar's case, the explanation was completely different - it's the women's fault.
Organizers kept asking the women not to stand on Yeshayahu Street, which was intended for men, but only on Pri Hadash Road, which was designated for them. The "sacred event" could not continue unless they followed instructions, they said.

Seriously - if he showed up on time he would be a yekke not a rebbe. But since when have you decided that R' Aaron of KJ is the Satmar Rebbe? That is the big story.

SATMAR REBBE, REB AARON IS THE OLDEST SON, AND YES HE IS THE SATMAR REBBE FOR THE MAJORITY OF SATMAR CHASIDIM.
HE ARRIVED TO JERYSALEM A LITTLE LATER THAN EXPECTED. THE FIRT STOP THAT HE MADE WAS IN BENEI BERAK, BY HIS FATHER IN LAW, THE VISNITZER REBBE, REB MOISHE HAGER.
ACORDING TO ISREALI PRESS, THERE WERE OVER 12,000 PEOPLE AT HIS KABOLAS PONIM.
IF ANYBODY HAS PHOTOS, WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM.

I was present at the event from as early as 6 30 pm. At 7 30 most of the preparations were far from being ready. When the rebbe got there, which I think was before 9 30, it was not until he got here that the women breached the metal barriers that they had in place. I think the article was definitely deceptive and not accurate. As even from 7 30 all the women were behind the metal barriers designated.
