Thursday, Parshas Pekudei — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, before Shacharis, the following brissim took place:
The son born to R' Yechezkel Shraga Wertzberger, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.
The son born to R' Shlomo Heimlich, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Beirach Moshe branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put on tefillin for the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Dovid Moshe Shamuel.
During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went up for hagbah, and after davening he recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 19, verse 12. Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in his private room.

During the morning hours, the Rebbe shlit"a went on a visit to the mehudar slaughterhouse together with HaGaon HaGadol Rabbi Shimon Yitzchak Schlesinger shlit"a, member of the Beis Din Tzedek of the Eida HaChareidis. The Rebbe walked around and was shown the many hiddurim and chumros that have been instituted in the mehudar slaughterhouse.

In the afternoon at around 6:30, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

In the evening, the Rebbe shlit"a officiated at kiddushin at the chuppah of the following mechutanim:
R' Gavriel Shmuel Weiss - R' Chaim Eli Felberbaum, at Kinor Dovid hall.
R' Yoel Rubin - R' Avrohom Dovid Lax, at Beis Rochel Paradise hall.

Yechidus hours at the Kodesh were from around 8:00 until 10:15 at night, in his holy home on Uhel Court.

During the yechidus hours, a writing of the letters took place for the Sefer Torah being written by R' Shaul Roth. The Rebbe wrote in the letters, drank a lechayim, and bestowed his holy blessing.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim in the tenaim hall in his holy home for the mechutanim R' Avrohom Shmuel Schwartz - R' Yoel Yitzchak Roth.

At around 10:30, the Rebbe arrived at the Beirach Moshe beis medrash for the Sheva Berachos simcha in our holy courts, arranged by the mispallelim of the beis medrash in honor of the Rebbe shlit"a and the Rav of the beis medrash, HaGaon HaTzaddik shlit"a. The Rebbe danced in the center for several minutes, drank a lechayim, and wished the chosson, the mechutanim, and the entire congregation well. He delivered words of Torah on the topic of the simcha of chosson and kallah, and then spoke for an extended time about pressing matters, regarding various issues that concern a sofer when he writes Sifrei Torah and the responsibility that rests on the sofer. He continued on the recent scandal regarding the problems with the well-known Tikkun Soferim, the Tikkun Horowitz, which a large percentage of soferim use. Because many errors were found in it, every Sefer Torah that was copied from the Tikkun Horowitz must be re-examined. He thereby urged all the gabbaim of our batei medrash everywhere to be careful and to make sure to follow up and ask the owners of Sifrei Torah which Tikkun Soferim was used in writing, and to make sure to use only kosher Sifrei Torah until the pesulim are corrected. He concluded with his holy blessing to the Rav of the beis medrash, HaGaon HaTzaddik shlit"a, and to the entire congregation.

A Purim shpiel was presented by the children of the beis medrash, and R' Yisroel Aharon Kletzkin performed with words of badchanus. For Birkas Hamazon, the Rebbe honored the Rav of the beis medrash, HaGaon HaTzaddik shlit"a, and the Rebbe recited the Sheva Berachos. The event concluded at around 12:00.

Afterwards, the Rebbe went over to the new added wing of the beis medrash, where he looked over the new tefillah rooms that are being completed in these days, accompanied by R' Gedalia Segedin, member of the beis medrash's administration, and then the Rebbe davened Maariv there in the new extension.

From there, at around 12:30, the Rebbe shlit"a went on a return visit to HaGaon HaGadol Rabbi Shimon Yitzchak Schlesinger shlit"a, member of the Beis Din Tzedek of the Eida HaChareidis, at the home of R' Mordechai Shabsi Wertzberger in the Chasam Sofer neighborhood. A pleasant conversation in Torah ensued about various rulings of the Chasam Sofer zy"a, of whom the Rav shlit"a is a descendant. The Rav shlit"a honored the Rebbe shlit"a with a lechayim, and the Rebbe warmly bestowed his holy blessing upon him, and upon HaGaon Rabbi Shlomo Yosef Yazepovitch shlit"a, Rav of the Ohr Moshe beis medrash in the neighborhood.
