Report
Motzei Shabbos at around 12:30, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a entered the Beis Medrash HaGadol for the holy tish and the hilula seudah in honor of the holy hilula of the Beirach Moshe zy"a.
The Rebbe washed for the seudah. Before the fish, zemiros for Melaveh Malka were sung. After the fish, the Rebbe wished a lechayim to the entire gathering, "May his merit protect us and all Yisroel," and they continued with niggunim of deveikus and longing that were sung in the beis medrash of the Rebbe, the baal hahilula zy"a.
With the Michtam LeDavid, the Rebbe honored HaGaon R' Baruch Weiss shlit"a, Rav of the Beis Medrash of Kenizsha, one of the talmidim of the baal hahilula.

At around 1:20, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a began the central holy address. The Rebbe took as his starting point the verse "With this shall Aharon enter the holy," and explained it according to the teachings of the baal hahilula. He spoke about the greatness of the holy Rebbe, the baal hahilula zy"a, one of the pillars of the world; his greatness in Torah, his fervent tefillos, and how he was a merciful father to broken hearts; his warm drashos, his sweet Torah thoughts, and his holy work to strengthen and elevate our kehilla and our holy mosdos throughout the world. "And it was, when Moshe raised his hand, Yisroel prevailed." The Rebbe mentioned the Rebbe's many efforts in the battle against Zionism, and brought out the difficult situation in Eretz Yisroel with the decrees of the draft, for which much Heavenly mercy is needed, and the situation of war in Eretz Yisroel, which has spread much hatred of Jews across the whole world, and Heavenly mercy is also needed so that it should not, chas v'shalom, cost anything for Klal Yisroel. Afterwards he spoke about the chinuch decree in New York, for which Heavenly mercy is needed to be saved from the decree. We pray that the sincere askanim will be able to accomplish and annul the decree, especially since there are other askanim who are, chas v'shalom, prepared to make compromises regarding chinuch, rachmana litzlan.
The Rebbe mentioned the full efforts in matters of tznius, and called on all members of our community, in every place, to be careful in this. He strengthened the takanah of the mosdos not to accept students from homes where long, loose-fitting sheitels are worn, and likewise regarding the yetzer hara of impure devices.
The Rebbe mentioned the Rebbe's efforts to broaden the borders of kedusha throughout the world. The Rebbe urged members of our community to daven specifically in our own batei medrash and not to daven in outside places, where one can be influenced by foreign outlooks and opinions, and he urged them not to be influenced by the crude crowd. It has become a trend to come on Shabbos morning to the beis medrash without a shtreimel. This is not how one comes to the beis medrash! "In the house of G-d we walk with emotion," in a respectful manner as is fitting. Likewise, one should be careful with the honor of the beis medrash not to talk during davening, etc. So too regarding the bad custom of large kiddushim after davening, which brings no good to anyone.
Afterwards the Rebbe spoke about the situation of the housing shortage in Kiryas Joel and said that, b'ezras Hashem, a vaad of baalei batim has been appointed that is examining all possibilities of what can be done, "and the will of Hashem will succeed in our hands." At the end, the Rebbe mentioned the Kollel Eitz Chaim in Bnei Brak, which was founded by the holy Rebbe, the baal hahilula zy"a, in the name and memory of his father, the Eitz Chaim zy"a, and which today stands under the leadership of his brother, HaGaon HaTzaddik, Rav of our kehilla, B"P 15 shlit"a, who bears the burden with faithfulness and devotion. We must see to help out in whatever way we can. He concluded with abundant blessings to the entire gathering.

For Birkas Hamazon, the Rebbe honored his brother, HaGaon HaTzaddik shlit"a. The tish ended at around 2:00.
