Monday, Parshas Mishpatim — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek on the occasion of the bris of the newborn grandson of Rabbi Lipa Ashkenazi shlit"a, son-in-law of the HaGaon Rabbi, rav of Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a, and son-in-law of the Karov Av Beis Din shlit"a.
Before davening, the Rebbe shlit"a put on tefillin for the following bar mitzvah bochurim:
The bochur Yoel Teitelbaum.
The bochur Chaim Mordechai Mittelman (of Williamsburg).
During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went up for hagbah.

After davening, the bris took place. Mohel: the Rebbe shlit"a; sandek: the grandfather, the Karov Rebbe shlit"a; the one holding the baby while standing: the other grandfather, the HaGaon Rabbi, rav of Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a; blessings: the Rebbe shlit"a. The child was named Yisroel Yitzchak after his grandfather, the Alesk Rebbe zt"l.
After the bris, the entire congregation went over to wish the Rebbe shlit"a mazel tov, and a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the hall of the beis medrash.

Afterwards the seudas bris milah took place in the hall of the beis medrash. At the seudah, the baal simcha, the father of the baby shlit"a, spoke, as did the grandfather, the Karov Rebbe shlit"a, and the other grandfather, the HaGaon Rabbi, rav of Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a.
For "yom libeshah" the Rebbe honored his grandson Rabbi Boruch Rokeach shlit"a, son-in-law of the Gaon Rabbi, rav of Beis Medrash Ohel Pigah shlit"a.
Afterwards the Rebbe shlit"a delivered holy words on the topic of bris milah, and warmly wished the baal simcha, the grandfathers, and the entire congregation well.
The Rebbe shlit"a recited the blessing over the cup, and honored his sons and sons-in-law, the HaGaon Rabbi, rav of Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a, with the Harachaman prayers. It concluded at around 1:15.

In the afternoon at around 6:00, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

The times of entry to the Rebbe's room were from around 8:00 until 11:30 at night, in his holy home on Ohel Katt.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim in the tenaim hall in his holy home between the mechutanim R' Shimon Yisroel Horowitz (of Williamsburg) and R' Chaim Yechezkel Wertzberger shlit"a.

After the times of entry, at around 11:35, the Rebbe shlit"a went over to the halls of Kinor David, where the Rebbe participated in the Sheva Brachos celebration at the home of the HaGaon HaGadol, the Av Beis Din shlit"a, on the occasion of the marriage of his grandchildren: the kallah, the daughter of his son HaRav R' Aharon Yekusiel Berkowitz shlit"a, and the chosson, the son of his son HaRav R' Lipa Berkowitz shlit"a, a moreh tzedek in our kehilla. A lengthy conversation developed in Torah discussion and pilpul on the topic of ribbis. The Rebbe drank lechayim and wished well to the Av Beis Din shlit"a, the chassanim, the mechutanim, and the entire congregation. After Birkas Hamazon, the Rebbe recited the Sheva Brachos and began dancing with the chassanim and then with the Av Beis Din shlit"a.

At around 12:05 the Rebbe davened Maariv in Beis Medrash Beis Mordechai. After Maariv, the child Mordechai Dov, son of HaRav R' Aharon Yekusiel Berkowitz shlit"a, gave an answer to the question that the Rebbe had left for the ninth-grade students at the start of the zman in Parshas Shekalim.
