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

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Moshe Yehuda Eckstein, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Etz Chaim branch, Shiur Gimmel. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Yechezkel Shraga Honig.
After davening, the Rebbe recited the daily Tehillim portion, up to chapter 18, verse 1. Afterward, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Rebbe's private room.

In the afternoon at around 6:20, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.
After Mincha, the Rebbe went over to his holy home on Ohel Court, together with the Gaon HaAdir, the Av Beis Din shlit"a, where a lengthy meeting took place with the sellers and owners of the head-covering stores in the city. They discussed the matters on the agenda, and the Rebbe delivered words of holy guidance and direction at length. He established regulations, safeguards, and fences among the stores, and strongly urged them to adhere to the ways of tznius and not to sell in a way that would cause the righteous women to stumble in matters of tznius in such a holy city.

In the evening, the Rebbe shlit"a officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the mechutanim R' Shmuel Mordechai Stein and R' Eli Spitzer, at Beis Rochel Paradise hall.

At around 8:30, the Rebbe shlit"a set out for Boro Park for the vort of his grandson, the chosson HaRav Yoel Teitelbaum shlit"a, son of the Gaon Tzaddik, Av Beis Din of Sighet shlit"a, which took place in the Skver hall in Boro Park.
The Rebbe arrived at around 10:15 and greeted the distinguished grandfathers and rabbanim shlit"a. The mechutanim, the Gaon Tzaddik, Av Beis Din of Sighet shlit"a, and HaGaon R' Shalom Halberstam shlit"a, took part in the proceedings. The Rebbe officiated at the tenaim. R' Moshe Glantzer and R' Chaim Yoshe Gelbstein, leaders of the Etz Chaim Sighet kehilla, served as witnesses on behalf of the chosson.

The Rebbe shlit"a delivered words of holy Torah about the simcha of a chosson and kallah, and concluded with abundant blessings for the chosson, the mechutanim, the grandfathers, and the entire assembly.
For the reading of the tenaim, the Rebbe honored the grandfather, the Nassoid Rebbe shlit"a. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and blessed the entire assembly. Joyous songs were sung, and the entire assembly came over to wish the Rebbe shlit"a mazel tov. The event ended at around 11:00, and on the way out the Rebbe went to wish the kallah mazel tov, as is customary.

From there, the Rebbe shlit"a went to our great beis medrash, where the Rebbe davened Maariv. Before Maariv, the Rebbe greeted the mashpia HaGaon R' Shimon Spitzer shlit"a of Eretz Yisroel, who had just finished his derasha in our great beis medrash, as is customary all summer, as part of the Torah shiurim of the summer days organized by the Agudas Avreichim of our holy kehilla.

After Maariv, the Rebbe went to console the mourners of the family of the Rebbetzin Margulies a"h, granddaughter of the Beis Etz Chaim zy"a, among them her brother, the Tzaddik R' Avrohom Chaim Halberstam shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Rudnik. A lengthy conversation took place about stories of her holy forebears of the house of Sighet, and the Rebbe offered the blessing of consolation. Afterward, the Rebbe traveled home to Kiryas Joel, to his holy home.
