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

In the morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for a newborn son of R' Avrohom Hersh Gelbstein, at which the Rebbe served as sandek.

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 HaGaon R' Yitzchak Eizik Fuchs shlit"a - Moreh Tzedek.
The bochur Avrohom Hecht.
The bochur Yechezkel Berger.
The bochur Moshe Sorkis.
During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went up for Hagbah, and after davening he recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 19, verse 8. Afterward, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Rebbe's private room.

In the afternoon, at about 3:50, the Rebbe shlit"a went to the halls of Ginas Klein for the annual "Yom HaIchud" of the nearly one thousand talmidim of the ninth-grade Mechina L'Yeshiva of our holy mosdos from across Greater New York. Several nigunim were sung, and one of the bochurim sang rhymed verses. Afterward, the menahalim presented the Rebbe shlit"a with a minchas bikkurim, a comprehensive kvitel with the names of all the bochurim, together with the thousands of consecutive hours that were learned during the Yemei HaShovavim.
The Rebbe shlit"a delivered holy words of guidance and chizuk for learning Torah, and how a Chassidic bochur should conduct himself, and concluded with his holy blessing.

Afterward, the Rebbe davened Mincha together with the bochurim. After Mincha, the Rebbe went into a side room where he distributed holy coins to the bochurim who had learned the consecutive hours. It concluded at about 5:15.

In the evening, the Rebbe shlit"a officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the following mechutanim:
R' Yoshe Yuda Friedman (of Williamsburg) - R' Moshe Yitzchak Silberstein, at Kinor David hall.
HaRav R' Yisroel Yuda Wertzberger shlit"a - R' Yoshe Wolf Mittelman, at Beis Rachel Paradise hall.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at about 8:50 in his holy home.

At about 9:10, the Rebbe shlit"a went to the halls of Keren V'Yoel Moshe for the Sheva Brachos celebration in our holy courts, arranged by the Rebbe shlit"a, to which the diligent Torah scholars, the learners of our kollelim from across Greater New York who have been in the tent of Torah for over eighteen years, were specially invited.
The Rebbe washed for the seudah. During the Sheva Brachos, several Torah scholars from the kollelim asked the Rebbe shlit"a various questions of guidance and matters pertaining to Torah learners, past and present, to which the Rebbe replied and spoke at length with good reason and insight. Afterward, the Rebbe delivered holy words in a drasha on the topics of the joy of chassan and kallah, highlighting the importance of Torah learners and their households, and bestowed abundant blessings upon the entire assembly.
Afterward, the Rebbe stood up and danced for an extended time. For Birkas Hamazon, the Rebbe honored the Av Beis Din, HaGaon HaTzaddik, Rav of the Beis HaMedrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a. The first blessings were recited by HaGaon R' Avrohom Shalom Friedman shlit"a, one of the heads of Mivtzar HaKollelim in Kiryas Joel, and the final blessing by HaGaon HaTzaddik R' Naftali Hirtzka Zwibel shlit"a, Rosh Av Beis Din of Williamsburg. It concluded at about 11:30.

Afterward, in his holy home, a meeting took place with the leadership of Agudas HaSofrim regarding the recent problems with computerized checking of Torah scrolls, and the plans and services that Agudas HaSofrim will provide to the public in this area. The Rebbe went over all the details with them for an extended time and bestowed his holy blessing that no stumbling block should come out from under their hands.
