Tuesday, Parshas Vayeitzei

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal of the Yeshiva Gedolah, the fourth minyan. After davening, the Rebbe recited the daily Tehillim portion, on chapter 15, verse 1, with words of guidance and chizuk for the bochurim.

In the afternoon the Rebbe shlit"a went up to the Heichal HaYeshiva, Yoel Moshe branch, where the Rebbe learned with a chavrusa from among the talmidim of the yeshiva in his private room. At around 5:00 the Rebbe davened Mincha in the yeshiva.

At around 6:10 the Rebbe shlit"a arrived in Monsey for the "Pouring of the Foundations" ceremony at the beis medrash "Eitz Chaim Sighet," headed by HaRav HaTzaddik R' Aharon Teitelbaum shlit"a, son of the HaGaon HaTzaddik, Rav of our kehilla in Boro Park, shlit"a. The Rebbe poured the foundations and also honored the other rabbonim shlit"a with pouring. Afterwards a lechayim gathering took place in the hall of the beis medrash, with niggunim sung in honor of the occasion, and the Rav of the beis medrash shlit"a spoke. The Rebbe shlit"a then signed the documents together with R' Menachem Liebermann, who purchased the naming rights of the mikvah, and who was warmly blessed by the Rebbe.
The Rebbe shlit"a drank lechayim and extended good wishes to his brother, the HaGaon HaTzaddik, Rav of our kehilla in Boro Park shlit"a, to the Rav of the beis medrash shlit"a, and to the entire public. He delivered words of Torah on the importance of going to the mikvah every day, and related several stories from the Kedushas Yom Tov zy"a about the importance of a mikvah, and concluded with his blessings. The event ended at around 6:40.

After the ceremony the Rebbe shlit"a traveled back to Williamsburg for the weekly yechidus hours.
The yechidus hours inside the Kodesh were from about 8:00 until 11:45 at night, at his holy residence on Hewes St.
The Rebbe shlit"a davened Maariv at around 11:00, and then continued receiving the public.

After the yechidus hours, the Rebbe traveled to Boro Park and participated in Shabbos attire at the wedding of the kallah, daughter of the distinguished R' Meir Yosef Laufer shlit"a, to the chasan, R' Yaakov Horowitz, a descendant of the Rebbe, the Eitz Chaim zy"a, in the Eminence halls. The Rebbe drank lechayim and wished the chasan, the mechutanim and the grandfathers well, and then danced the mitzvah dance before the kallah and with the chasan and mechutanim. On the way out, the Rebbe offered blessings to the kallah.
From there the Rebbe traveled home to his holy residence in Kiryas Joel.
