Fists fly at rabbi burial

Unplanned speaker sparks fight
A bizarre fistfight broke out among mourners in an Orange County synagogue just before the body of Grand Rebbe Moses Teitelbaum was buried early yesterday amid battling over who will succeed the Satmar leader.
Punches were thrown and people were shoved when one of the rebbe's grandsons got up to address the crowd. But the grandson was not on the list of speakers that the grand rebbe's feuding sons, Aron and Zalmen Teitelbaum, had discussed.
