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

In the morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Aharon Beck, where the Rebbe served as sandek.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Divrei Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Nachman Klein.
During the Torah reading the Rebbe went up for Hagbah, and after davening he recited the daily Tehillim shiur on chapter 15, verse 2. Afterwards a lechayim took place with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Rebbe's private room.

In the afternoon the Rebbe shlit"a went up to the Heichal HaYeshiva, Divrei Yoel branch, where the Rebbe learned with a chavrusa from among the talmidei hayeshiva in his private room, and at 6:10 the Rebbe davened Mincha in the yeshiva.

In the evening at around 8:00 the Rebbe shlit"a arrived at the hall near his holy home on Ohel Street, where a "preparatory gathering and lechayim celebration" took place ahead of the trip to the holy places in Europe, headed by HaGaon HaChassid R' Yosef Chaim Greenwald shlit"a. Songs of inspiration were sung, and Rabbi Hershel Kahn shlit"a spoke. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and delivered holy words of preparation for a journey to the graves of tzaddikim, for "tzaddikim are greater in their death than in their lifetime," and of the awe that grips a person when he considers who the tzaddikim were. He concluded with abundant blessings for all the participants. Afterwards all the participants went over to receive the holy blessing. The gathering concluded at around 8:30.

Entry times were held from around 8:30 until 12:00 at night, in his holy home on Ohel Street.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim at the tenaim to be held in his holy home between the mechutanim R' Mendel Oppenheim and R' Yekusiel Shimshon Gefen.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Maariv at around 10:20, and then continued receiving the public.
