Monday, Parshas Vayishlach — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Divrei Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
the son of R' Neta Moskowitz shlit"a (Williamsburg).
the bochur Avrohom Chaim Laub (Boro Park).
During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went to the hagbah.

After davening, the Rebbe led the daily Tehillim shiur on chapter 19, verse 3, and spoke at length about the 7 paths that the government in New York has put forward to carry out the chinuch decree, saying that these are the 7 names of the yetzer hara, and that every path is an enormous danger. He proclaimed passionately, "We, our mosdos, will not comply; sit and do nothing is preferable." At the same time he called out to all upright mosdos: "I call upon everyone who has fear of Hashem in his heart — the administrations of other mosdos should not allow themselves to be persuaded by the askanim who have let themselves be sold to the Satan and who flatter the administrators." If all the chassidic mosdos take the same stance toward the government, that we do not comply and do not let them in, then with the power of the public, b'ezras Hashem, we will succeed.

Afterward, a lechayim took place with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Rebbe's private room.

In the afternoon the Rebbe shlit"a went up to the Heichal HaYeshiva, Beirach Moshe branch, where the Rebbe learned with a chavrusa from the talmidim of the yeshiva in his private room, and at around 5:00 the Rebbe davened Mincha in the yeshiva.

During the afternoon hours the Rebbe shlit"a went over to the new home of his grandson HaGaon R' Zalman Teitelbaum shlit"a, rav of the Beis Menachem Zev beis medrash in the Veyoel Moshe neighborhood. The Rebbe affixed a mezuzah, after which a lechayim gathering took place; a pleasant conversation developed, and the Rebbe imparted of his holy blessing.

In the evening the Rebbe shlit"a officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the following mechutanim:
HaGaon R' Wolf Aharon Teller shlit"a - R' Moshe Goldberger, at Kinor David hall.
R' Mordechai Yitzchak Moskowitz (Williamsburg) - R' Yitzchak Palatchek, at Beis Rachel Paradise hall.
R' Ephraim Weiss - R' Yosef Yoel Cohen, at Ginas Klein hall.

After the chuppos, at around 8:00, the Rebbe shlit"a went over to the halls of Keren Veyoel Moshe for the Sheva Brachos simcha, hosted by the administration of the holy community of Kiryas Joel in honor of the Shabbos gabbai HaRav HaChasid R' Chaim Shlomo Fischer, as an expression of gratitude for his many services to our holy kehilla. The distinguished leaders of the community, the gabbaim and members of the kehilla's administration, and the leading askanim of the kehilla were invited. HaRav HaChasid R' Dovid Eckstein of Eretz Yisroel spoke. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the entire public well, and delivered brief words of blessing about the importance of being involved in the needs of the public, concluding with his holy blessing. Afterward the Rebbe rose and danced. It concluded at around 8:25.

Entry times for Kodesh Kodashim were from around 8:30 until 11:30 at night, at his holy residence on Ohel Court.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim in the tenaim hall at his holy residence for the following mechutanim:
R' Yoel Rosenberg - R' Yisroel Freund.
R' Yoel Gluber (Monsey) - R' Shai Shalom Wolberg.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 11:30.
