My father created the state of Kiryas Joel, they created the state of Square. Square was first by the way, Square got it earlier but then Kiryas Joel but the story goes that my father gets a call from one of the heads of customs and he says, "Listen Rabbi, I know that what I'm going to tell you now is going to be a problem but the guys are coming in with their phylacteries and they're flying in from Belgium and they got diamonds in the phylacteries. Now we know that if we come out and say something they're going to say we're anti-Semites, we're this, we're that. These people are literally smuggling smuggling in millions of dollars in their phylacteries and we're going to start opening them up. So, my father went right away to the Satmar Rebbe.
