I give you permission to use anything and everything on the page of the Satmar Rebbe. There is NO copyright on the picture we uploaded to the website PROVIDED it is used for educational purposes ONLY and not commercial. It is widely known that the picture is a "Kalman Tiefenbrun" from Stamford Hill , as he is a Lubavitcher chossid , he never signed his name on any of the Satmar rebbe portraits, but made them out of admiration and respect of this Tzaddik . The photos of the holy gravesite and ohel in Ujhely http://www.yarzheit.com/satmarrebbe.htm you have permission too ! & Also the Kemaya of Yismach Moshe at www.kemaya.com . The stipulation is that it is 100% educational and NOT for financial gain/ commercial. This is in line with the Satmar Rebbes teachings that all spiritual knowledge is free and must never be charged for ! Sincerely
Moshe for www.famousrabbis.com www.shomayim.com educational websites
