Friday, Parshas Achrei Mos-Kedoshim — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for a newborn son of R' Yosef Hershkowitz, at which the Rebbe served as sandek.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the new beis medrash 'Noam Elimelech of Lizhensk' on Lizhensk Street, together with the talmidim of the Yeshiva Gedolah Esek HaTorah of Monsey.
Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
the bochur Hillel Neiman.
the bochur Zalman Leib Stein.

After davening, the ceremony of affixing the mezuzah and a lechayim celebration took place in honor of the opening of the beis medrash. The Rebbe affixed the mezuzah on the entrance to the beis medrash sanctuary, after which the lechayim celebration was held. R' Dovid Eckstein of Eretz Yisroel performed, and niggunim were sung in honor of the occasion.
The Rebbe shlit"a drank a lechayim and extended his blessings to HaGaon Rabbi Alexander Yekusiel Landau shlit"a, the dayan of the beis medrash, to the heads of the kehilla and to the entire congregation, and delivered words of Torah expressing the joy of inaugurating a new beis medrash for Torah and tefillah. He said that the name Lizhensk already brings holiness, and spoke in praise of the esteemed dayan of the beis medrash shlit"a, and of the heads of the kehilla who dedicate themselves to establishing batei medrash in all corners of the city, and concluded with his holy blessing. The event ended at around 11:45.
