The times for entry to the Rebbe were from around 8:00 until 12:30 at night in his holy home at the Ohel Court.

During the entry times, a 'distribution' took place through R' Moshe Yaakov Yosef Brach, in which close to half a million dollars was distributed to several groups of rabbonim and learners of our kollelim from Kiryas Joel and Williamsburg, after they were tested on various subjects by the rabbonim of our kehilla and by the HaGaon HaGadol, the Dayan and Moreh Tzedek of Kiryas Joel shlit"a.
Several nigunim were sung and the Rebbe distributed the money to the rabbonim and learners of the kollel. The Rebbe drank lechayim and bestowed from his holy blessings, and delivered a few brief words of holy Torah about the importance of those who learn Torah, concluding with words of blessing that we should merit to complete more subjects.

Likewise, a commencement of the writing of a Sefer Torah took place, written by the chassid R' Yehoshua Hersh HaKohen Glick. The Rebbe wrote in the letters, drank lechayim and bestowed from his holy blessings.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim in his holy home for the mechutanim R' Aharon Schwartz and R' Shlomo Zalman Gelb.
