Tuesday, Yom Tov Chol HaMoed, 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris was held for the newborn son of R' Aharon Siman, at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe shlit"a entered for Shacharis at around 9:45. The baal tefillah was HaRav HaChasid R' Yoel Bar"a Hirsch. The Rebbe recited "Vechoros" verse by verse, proceeded to Hallel, and completed his holy service during the shaking of the lulav with great fervor and arousal, and afterwards recited the Hoshanos. The honor of Pesicha was given to HaRav HaChasid R' Yaakov Zafir (of Williamsburg).

In the afternoon, the Rebbe shlit"a delivered holy words and Yom Tov blessings via a live hookup to the chassidim in Bnei Brak, at the Ushpizin seudah of Aharon HaKohen Kadisha and the Simchas Beis HaShoeva, in the great sukkah of our great beis medrash in Shikun. After the divrei Torah in honor of the day, the Rebbe spoke of the expansion of the boundaries of holiness, both in quantity and in quality, as the great beis medrash in Shikun, Baruch Hashem, has received a new look. He expressed his satisfaction at the good greetings heard back from the kehilla, mosdos and yeshiva, and recalled with longing his spiritual delight with the bochurim in the city of the forefathers, Sighet, and concluded with abundant blessings for the entire assembly.

In the afternoon at around 6:15, HaGaon HaTzaddik Rabbi Menachem Meir Weissmandl shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Nitra Monsey, paid a Yom Tov visit to the Rebbe shlit"a in the sukkah of his holy home. A lengthy, warm conversation ensued on Torah and chassidus and on matters of the Yom Tov, regarding rain on Sukkos, and about various technological innovations in kashrus and mikvaos. The Rebbe bestowed his holy blessings upon him, wished him well for his son the chosson's wedding after Yom Tov, and gave extra blessings to his son, HaRav R' Mordechai, who heads the shechita operation at our holy kehilla's slaughterhouse for the geese in Iowa, "that no stumbling block should come from his hand."

The Rebbe davened Mincha at around 7:15, and Maariv at around 8:00 in his holy home.
