Wednesday, Devarim, Rosh Chodesh Av, "B'tzeil HaKodesh" with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Rebbe shlit"a entered the beis medrash for Shacharis at around 8:45. The talmidim of Yeshiva Gedolah Esek HaTorah davened together with him.
Before davening, the Rebbe put on tefillin for the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Dovid Weiss (Kiryas Yoel).
The Rebbe shlit"a proceeded to Hallel with great inspiration, as is customary.
Pesicha: the distinguished Rabbi Moshe Gross shlit"a of Karasztur; Kohen: the bochur Yehoshua son of Binyon Kahn (Monsey); Levi: HaGaon R' Simcha Shalom Steinberger shlit"a; Shlishi: the bar mitzvah bochur; Revii: the Rebbe shlit"a. The aliyah was purchased by R' Simcha Yisroel Apfel, and the Rebbe thanked him. Hagbah: the rav of Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a; Gelilah: R' Dovid Weiss.
Musaf: HaGaon R' Yisroel Mordechai Seidenfeld shlit"a, director of the yeshiva.

After davening, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in the heichal of the beis medrash, after which the Rebbe walked home, and a conversation developed about various minhagim of Rosh Chodesh.

At around 11:40 the Rebbe shlit"a entered the beis medrash, where the Rebbe extended his holy table in honor of Rosh Chodesh together with the talmidim of Yeshiva Gedolah Esek HaTorah. The Rebbe washed for the seudah. Before the fish, the talmidim of the yeshiva made a siyum on a masechta: the chassan Yuda Leib son of Shalom Eliezer Weber (Kiryas Yoel) on Maseches Menachos, and the bochur Asher Zelig son of Chaim Yisroel Klagsbald (London) on Maseches Makkos.

A fleishig seudah was served. At the lechayim after the soup, the Rebbe wished the bochurim who completed the masechta well. During the seudah, songs of galus and geulah were sung.
For Borchi Nafshi, the Rebbe honored the director, HaGaon R' Yisroel Mordechai Seidenfeld shlit"a.

The Rebbe shlit"a delivered holy words on the verse in Eichah, "Galsah Yehuda mei'oni," explaining that for sins between man and his fellow there is no righteous advocate, and for this the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed. He urged them to be careful with ahavas chaveirim, for in that merit we will leave galus, and concluded with abundant blessings for the bochurim.

Birkas Hamazon: the distinguished Rabbi Moshe Gross shlit"a of Karasztur.

Afterward, the Rebbe distributed blessed coins to the bochurim ahead of their trip to the holy places in Europe, and the Rebbe bestowed from his holy blessings. It ended at around 1:00.

The Rebbe shlit"a entered the beis medrash for Mincha at around 8:50. Between Mincha and Maariv, the Rebbe studied Torah in the beis medrash. At the time of Rabbeinu Tam, around 9:40, he davened Maariv.
