Tuesday, Parshas Naso, Part 1 — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal of the Yeshiva Ketana Branch Rav Tuv, under the direction of HaGaon R' Wolf Landa shlit"a.
Before davening, the Rebbe put on tefillin for the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Yaakov Meir Naftali Kahn.
The Rebbe shlit"a lit 5 candles and went to the amud on the occasion of the yahrzeit of his grandfather, the Holy Rebbe of Volova zt"l, as the Heichal of the yeshiva was donated by the Beirach Moshe zt"l, and for this reason the Heichal of the beis medrash is called 'Heichal Beis Aharon,' in memory of his father-in-law, the baal hilula zt"l.

After davening, a lechayim gathering took place in the Heichal of the beis medrash. The Rebbe drank lechayim, delivered a short address in preparation for Yom Tov of Shavuos, and concluded with his holy blessing.

At around 11:30 the Rebbe shlit"a arrived at the home of his relative HaGaon Rabbi Yosef Rokeach shlit"a, Rav of the Kol Eliyahu beis medrash, on the occasion of the upsherin of his son, the young child Meir, may he live. The Rebbe cut a few hairs, put on the kippah and tzitzis for the child, and bestowed abundant blessings. Afterwards he washed for a morning meal. Pleasant conversations developed about various customs and about the holy Ahavas Yisroel of Vizhnitz zt"l, whose yahrzeit was on the 2nd of Sivan. The Rebbe blessed over the cup. It concluded at around 12:30.

In the afternoon at around 6:00 the Rebbe shlit"a went to the home of R' Chaim Tager for the siyum of writing the letters of the Sefer Torah that is being written by his sons and sons-in-law of R' Meir Yosef Rubin a"h. The Rebbe wrote in letters and drank lechayim, while a pleasant conversation developed with the rabbanim of the family who were present, and he bestowed his holy blessings.

At around 6:30 the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home. The Rebbe lit 5 candles and went to the amud.

At around 7:20 the Rebbe shlit"a traveled to Williamsburg for the weekly yechidus hours.

Upon arriving in Williamsburg at 8:30, the Rebbe went to our beis medrash, Beis Menachem Tzvi on Wallabout, for the hachnasas sefer Torah donated by R' Aharon Brody Eckstein. The Rebbe took the Sefer Torah and danced holy dances for a longer time, then recited "L'Dovid Mizmor" as is customary, and bestowed his holy blessing upon the donor and the family members.

The yechidus hours in the inner sanctum were from around 9:10 until 12:40 at night, in his holy home on Hewes St.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 11:50, and then continued receiving the public.
