Motzei Shabbos, Parshas Terumah — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

Immediately after Havdalah, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a was informed of the terrible tragedy of the fire in our holy kehilla in Yerushalayim, the holy city.

From the beis medrash, the Rebbe shlit"a went over to the home of R' Meir Hirsch, on the occasion of the wedding of his granddaughter, where the Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed of his holy blessings.

At ten o'clock the Rebbe shlit"a held a meeting by telephone with the leadership of our holy kehilla in Yerushalayim, the holy city, at the home of HaGaon Rabbi, the Dayan and Moreh Hora'ah of our kehilla in Yerushalayim shlit"a, and with great pain inquired about and heard a first-hand report on the bitter tragedy.
The Rebbe shlit"a instructed the kehilla leadership to designate Tuesday, 7 Adar, as a day of prayer and fasting with weeping and lamentation, and that all men and bochurim of our community in Yerushalayim, the holy city, should fast; bochurim past bar mitzvah and under 18 should fast for half a day; and whoever is unable to fast should redeem it with money as a pidyon nefesh. Additionally, a proper burial should be arranged for the damaged sifrei Torah.

At around 12:00 the Rebbe shlit"a went over to the halls of Kinor David to participate in the Sheva Brachos celebration of the chassan, son of HaRav R' Shalom Moshe Lipschitz shlit"a, Dayan of Beis Medrash Beis Mordechai, with the kallah, granddaughter of the HaGaon HaGadol, Dayan of Kiryas Joel shlit"a, arranged by the mispallelim of Beis Medrash Beis Mordechai in honor of the Dayan of the beis medrash.
R' Hershel Friedman performed as badchan, and a pleasant gathering ensued; the Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed of his holy blessings. After Birchas Hamazon, the Rebbe recited the Sheva Brachos and then went out dancing with the chassan and the mechutanim. It concluded at around 12:30.
