Monday, Parshas Vayeishev, Yom HaHatzalah, 21 Kislev, 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, before Shacharis, a bris was held for a newborn son of R' Avrohom Weiser, where the Rebbe served as sandek.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Beis Medrash HaGadol. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Yissachar Ber Epstein.
During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went up for Hagbah, and after davening a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Rebbe's private room.

In the afternoon at around 5:10, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

After Mincha, at around 5:40, the Rebbe shlit"a went to the Heichal HaMesivta, Branch Berach Moshe, for the Maamad HaHodaah in the yeshiva of the holy Rebbe, the Baal HaNes zy"a. Upon arrival, the Rebbe danced in place for an extended time to "Chasdei Hashem" and other songs of thanksgiving. The distinguished speaker, HaGaon Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro shlit"a, Rav of the Beis Din of Bayswater and member of the Neturei rabbanim, then continued with his address.

Afterwards the Rebbe shlit"a delivered a holy address on the verse "Odeh Hashem b'chol levav," bringing out that one must praise Hashem for the fact that we are able to praise Him and have the merit to be students and chassidim of the holy Rebbe zy"a. He spoke about the difficult state in which Klal Yisroel found itself after the war, how many Jewish souls were, sadly, lost, until the holy Rebbe zy"a rebuilt the chareidi world and devoted himself like a father to a child. The same applies to the war against the plague of Zionism: even if one hears from others that there are still other approaches, when one looks at the rivers of tears with which the holy Rebbe zy"a waged the war, one knows the truth. It was a holy war, which those who heard it from his holy mouth will never forget. The Rebbe welcomed the distinguished speaker and related a story about the Yismach Moshe zy"a: when one sees that one honors another talmid chacham and feels the same as when one is being honored oneself, it is a sign that one means the honor of the Torah and not one's own honor. The Rebbe brought out that we are now in the midst of the difficult decrees regarding chinuch in New York. If at times one felt like a voice calling in the wilderness with no one listening, today one hears that, Baruch Hashem, there are other distinguished rabbanim involved in this matter, and praised be Hashem that there are others who are acting, among them the distinguished guest HaGaon Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro shlit"a. The Rebbe mentioned an assembly on Sunday of rabbanim with the Congress speaker and government officials. From what was heard today, he derived great nachas and thanked Hashem that there are others who are acting. He then honored HaGaon Rabbi Yaakov shlit"a to relate what took place there, and afterwards thanked him and wished success to the rabbanim and askanim to avert the evil of the decree, and concluded with his holy blessing. It ended at around 6:30, and the Rebbe left the yeshiva accompanied by the yeshiva students.

In the evening, the Rebbe shlit"a officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppahs of the following mechutanim.
R' Yoel Bernstein (Monsey) - R' Yekusiel Aharon Dovid Rubinstein, at Kinor Dovid hall.
R' Simcha Landau - HaGaon Rabbi Dovid Yoel Zimet shlit"a, Rav of Or L'Shamayim Stabnitz, at Beis Rachel Paradise hall.
R' Aharon Dovid Shmuel Mittelman (Williamsburg) - R' Yoel Treger, at Ginas Klein hall.

Times for entering to the Rebbe for the greeting (kabbolas pnei) were from around 8:00 until 11:00 at night, in his holy home on Ohel Court.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim in the tenaim hall in his holy home for the mechutanim R' Moshe Nosson Rosenberg - R' Yaakov Zev Katz.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 11:00.
