The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in Beis Medrash Beis Menachem Zev in the Veyoel Moshe neighborhood on the occasion of the bris milah celebration of the Rebbe's grandson, born to HaGaon Rabbi Zalman Teitelbaum shlit"a, Rav of the beis medrash.

Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Aharon Weiss (may he merit long life).

After davening, the bris milah celebration took place in the Heichal of the beis medrash.
Sandek: the Rebbe shlit"a. Sandek standing: the baal simcha's father-in-law, the Gaon, Rav of Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a. Blessings and naming: the Gaon, Av Beis Din of Nafelmitz shlit"a. The child was named in Yisroel 'Shimon' after the Tanna, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai.
After the bris, the entire public went over to wish the Rebbe shlit"a mazel tov, and a lechayim took place with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Heichal of the beis medrash.

After a few minutes, the seudas bris took place in the Heichal of the beis medrash. The Rebbe opened the challah with his hands as is customary on Erev Shabbos, and the baal simcha, the father of the baby, and the grandfathers, the Gaon, Av Beis Din of Nafelmitz shlit"a, and the Gaon, Rav of Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a, spoke.
The Rebbe honored the distinguished leader, R' Akiva Tzvi Klein, benefactor of the beis medrash, with Yom Liyabashah.
The Rebbe shlit"a delivered words of holy Torah on the topics of bris milah, and warmly wished the baal simcha and the distinguished grandfathers well. The Rebbe recounted memories of the illustrious tishen with the Divrei Yoel zt"l in the early years, when the Rebbe stood beneath the Rebbe's bench together with the Gaon, Av Beis Din of Nafelmitz shlit"a, praised this distinguished beis medrash, which is renowned for its name and praise, and concluded with abundant blessings for the entire public.

The Rebbe recited the blessing over the cup and honored the family members with the Harachaman's. It concluded at around 1:00.
