Shabbos Kodesh, Parshas Vayechi — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a.

On Erev Shabbos afternoon, the Rebbe shlit"a placed the shtreimel on the chasanim.
The chosson Yosef Mendel, son of R' Chaim Binyomin Kahana shlit"a.
The chosson Yitzchak, son of HaGaon R' Chaim Leib Zilberstein shlit"a.

On Friday evening at around 5:20, the Rebbe shlit"a entered the beis medrash wrapped in his tallis and approached the amud for Mincha.
After Mincha, HaGaon R' Leibish Weinfeld shlit"a spoke on behalf of the DOS campaign of our holy kehilla. Kabbalas Shabbos: R' Chaim Binyomin Kahana shlit"a of Spinka, Kiryas Joel.

Davening concluded at around 7:00. The crowd went over to wish a gut Shabbos, and the Rebbe shlit"a went home to his holy residence.

The Rebbe did not recite the Zohar for Leil Shabbos Kodesh before the seudah. At around 8:30 the Rebbe shlit"a entered for the Friday night seudah in the Heichal HaShulchanos together with the talmidei hamesivta, and began, as is his holy custom, "Shalom Aleichem" with feeling and sweetness.

Eishes Chayil: the Rebbe's grandson, the bochur Meir Eliezer Teitelbaum, son of HaGaon HaTzaddik, Rav of the beis medrash Beirach Moshe, shlit"a.

Before the fish course, the Rebbe placed a knife on the challah.
The Rebbe shlit"a began the divrei Torah on the verse "V'shamru Bnei Yisroel es haShabbos," and spoke at length for nearly an hour about current matters: "Tonight is called Nittel Nacht, when great impurity descended upon the world. It is the Jewish custom not to learn Torah, and tzaddikim said that if one learns, it gives strength to the impurity. The sages in the time of that man worked to move the day of rest from Shabbos to Sunday so that we would not be mixed in with them. Since this year it falls on Shabbos, let us proclaim that we do not believe in that man. On the contrary, Shabbos is the name of the Holy One, blessed be He. We believe only in the one Creator and in the words of our Sages, of blessed memory." He spoke at great length about the day of Nittel, the old calendar and the new one that follows the movement of the sun, the falsehood of their idolatry, and the dark history of that klipah, which murdered millions of precious Jewish souls over the years, and the impurity that continues to this day until the promise will be fulfilled, "And I will cleanse their blood that I have not yet cleansed," for the spilled Jewish blood.

Kah Echsof: R' Binyomin Aryeh Glick (Monsey). Birkas Hamazon: the Rebbe's son-in-law, HaGaon HaTzaddik R' Yosef Rokeach shlit"a, Rav of the beis medrash Kol Eliyahu.

At the Torah, the Rebbe shlit"a spoke on the verse "Vayikra Yaakov el banav vayomer he'asfu," and explained that the Arizal revealed that these days of these parshiyos are auspicious for repenting and rectifying one's actions in matters of kedusha. The forces of impurity are so great that it is impossible for flesh and blood to battle an angel; only with the power of kedusha of Yaakov Avinu, which passed to his children. But if one pursues the desires of this world, he loses his connection with Yaakov Avinu. The remedy is to go to the mikvah for the sake of purity, which is alluded to in the holy name Yud-Beis-Kuf, and to engage in Torah, which has seventy facets, which together form the name of Yaakov Avinu, and one gains the strength of kedusha to overcome the forces of impurity.

Afterwards the Rebbe shlit"a was accompanied out with song, "Ki Malachav Yetzaveh Lach," on his departure to Palm Springs, California, for rest and recuperation. It concluded at around 7:50.
