Tuesday, Parshas Emor — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, before Shacharis, brissen took place.
For the newborn son of R' Moshe Yuda Feierstein, where the Rebbe was sandek.
For the newborn son of R' Mendel Gershon Feldman, son of R' Berel, where the Rebbe was sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the beis medrash of the Yeshiva Ketana Zera Kodesh branch, headed by HaGaon R' Yoel Asher Weider shlit"a. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Yoel Schnitzer.
The Rebbe shlit"a lit 5 candles in honor of the yahrzeit of the holy Baal Zera Kodesh of Rapshitz zy"a.

After davening, a lechayim gathering took place in honor of the hilula. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and shared a Torah thought from the teachings of the Baal Hilula on the role of a Jew in this world, and on the obligation not to give in to desires, and concluded with his holy blessings.

In the afternoon hours, the Rebbe shlit"a went on his weekly visit to the mehadrin slaughterhouse together with the distinguished philanthropist R' Chaim Hersh Friedman of Montreal, owner of the renowned Agri Star slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa, where the mehadrin shechita system for large animals under our holy kehilla's supervision is carried out. The Rebbe walked around for an extended time throughout the entire plant and was shown the many chumros and hiddurim that have been instituted in the mehadrin slaughterhouse.

Afterward, the Rebbe shlit"a traveled back to his holy home, and following a private audience with the Rebbe, the historic lechayim gathering took place in honor of the distinguished philanthropist, the esteemed R' Chaim Hersh Friedman, who donated the astronomical sum of ten million dollars for the purity of Klal Yisroel, toward the new magnificent building of the mikvah in Kiryas Joel.

The heads and administration of the kehilla also took part in the lechayim. A pleasant conversation developed, and the Rebbe, among other things, spoke of the distinguished lineage of the esteemed donor, who descends from an excellent family on his forefathers' side and bears the holy name of the Eitz Chaim zt"l. The Rebbe spoke of the great merit of the esteemed donor in increasing purity among Yisroel, and of the importance of building a mikvah for the purity of Yisroel.

The Rebbe drank a lechayim and very warmly bestowed his holy blessings upon the donor shlit"a and his entire family with abundant blessings, and then signed the documents together with the donor. On this occasion the Rebbe shlit"a named the new street, as the expanded part of the mikvah building is being built in the donor's name, 'Hershy Friedman Drive', in his honor and for his merit.

Around 6:45 the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home, and afterward the Rebbe shlit"a traveled into Williamsburg for the weekly yechidus hours.
The yechidus hours in the inner sanctum were from around 8:30 until 11:45 at night in his holy home on Hewes St.

During the yechidus hours, the members of the administration of Kollel Shomrei HaChomos entered as a group to receive his holy blessing ahead of their annual dinner in Williamsburg this coming Thursday. HaGaon R' Moshe Rosenfeld shlit"a, dayan of our Beis Medrash Berech Moshe of our kehilla and one of the gabbaim of the Kollel, gave a report to the Rebbe shlit"a about the Kollel's recent activities, and the Rebbe bestowed his blessings.

The Rebbe davened Maariv around 10:30, and afterward continued receiving the public.
