Tuesday, Parshas Tazria-Metzora — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for a newborn son of R' Mordechai Yona Weider (Williamsburg), at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Beis Medrash HaGadol. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
The bochur Yoel Reisman.
The bochur Yitzchak Menachem Berger.
The bochur Shalom Shachna Lef.
After davening, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Rebbe's private room.

After Shacharis, the Rebbe went to the home of his relative, HaGaon HaTzaddik Rabbi, Rav of the Yismach Moshe beis medrash shlit"a, for the upsherin of his grandson, the child Meir, son of his son-in-law Rabbi Chaim Yaakov Rokeach shlit"a. The Rebbe cut off a few locks of hair, put on the yarmulke and tzitzis, and bestowed his holy blessing. He then washed for a breakfast meal, during which a pleasant conversation unfolded, and the Rebbe recited a blessing over the cup.

During the afternoon hours, the Rebbe arranged the donations from the prominent members of the community whom the Rebbe had assessed, in the amount of nearly a million dollars, for the large Kimcha D'Pischa distribution, which was sent to all our community members residing in Eretz Yisroel and was distributed there Wednesday evening.
In the afternoon, at around 4:40, the Rebbe arrived at the Tanaim Hall in his holy home for the private Sheva Brachos in the holy courts, arranged by the Rebbe shlit"a, to which the counselors of the Mifal Beis Naaman of Kiryas Joel were specially invited. The Rebbe washed for the seudah, and during the seudah several counselors rose and posed various questions regarding hashkafa and minhag, to which the Rebbe responded and spoke at length with good reason and insight. Afterwards, the Rebbe delivered words of Torah in a derush on the subject of the joy of chassan and kallah, and emphasized the responsibility resting upon the counselors to guide in the path handed down to us, and not to be drawn after foreign ways with which the wise are not pleased. He concluded with abundant blessings.
The Rebbe then rose to dance, honored his grandson the chassan, Rabbi Chaim Yechezkel Shraga Teitelbaum shlit"a, with Birchas Hamazon, and the Rebbe recited the Sheva Brachos. It concluded at around 6:50.

Afterwards, the Rebbe davened Mincha in the beis medrash in his holy home on Ohel (Keap) Street.

After Mincha, the Rebbe traveled to the weekly reception hours in Williamsburg.
The reception in Williamsburg lasted from around 8:30 until 12:10 at night, in his holy home on Hewes Street.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 9:50 and then continued receiving the public.
A short meeting was also held with the administration of Toras Shaashuim regarding the plans for the upcoming final masechta and the Siyum HaShas, which is planned for the month of Sivan 5785, IY"H.
