On the Holy Shabbos Day

On Shabbos morning the Rebbe shlit"a entered the beis medrash at around 9:40. Pesukei D'Zimra: HaRav HaChassid R' Moshe Goldberger. Shacharis: Rabbi Dovid Chanani Weiss shlit"a.

The Rebbe shlit"a said the Kaddeishim after Yom and after L'Dovid Hashem Ori, in honor of the yahrzeit of his ancestor, the holy R' Elazar Nisan zy"a.

Before Krias HaTorah the Rebbe went up to the Aron Kodesh and delivered words of Torah. The Rebbe began that it is a custom in Israel to deliver a Shabbos Shuva derasha, as he had hoped, IY"H, to deliver one on Chol Hamoed, but now "we have not come for a derasha"; one cannot restrain oneself from arousing about Kiryas Joel, a holy city that the Rebbe's holy ancestor zy"a founded, built on Torah, avodah, gemilus chassadim and the ways of tznius. One can say many good things about it, but regarding tznius there has been a decline, especially regarding head coverings, as people go today more lightly dressed on the street than five years ago. "Return, Yisroel, unto Hashem your God, for you have stumbled in your sin." There is a tremendous stumbling block in the streets. He is honoring every head of a household to deliver a Shabbos Shuva derasha at home to his wife, sons and daughters about the seriousness of the matter. Everyone is responsible for what is done in his home, and in this merit we will be blessed with a good and blessed final sealing and a good year.
