Monday, Parshas Behaaloscha - The wedding simcha of the grandson of the Rebbe, the chosson HaRav Yisroel Dushinsky shlit"a, son of the Rebbe's son-in-law HaGaon Rav of the Beis Medrash Ohel Feiga shlit"a, son of the Dushinsky Rebbe shlit"a, and the kallah, daughter of HaRav R' Avrohom Yehoshua Ieger shlit"a, son of HaGaon Rabbi Azriel Meir shlit"a of Lublin, and grandson of HaGaon Rabbi Efraim Stein shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Faltichan

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Divrei Yoel branch. During the Torah reading the Rebbe was called up for Shlishi, and after davening he recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 21, verse 4.

In the afternoon at around 5:40 the Rebbe shlit"a entered for Mincha in the Chadar Shmuel Chaim in the Beis Medrash HaGadol. The baal tefillah was R' Avrohom Moshe Lebowitz. After Mincha, the entire congregation, elders and youths, came over to bless and be blessed by the Rebbe shlit"a on the day of the chuppah.

The Rebbe shlit"a entered the kabbalas panim in the Heichal of the Beis Medrash HaGadol at around 6:10. Warm, inspiring melodies were sung, and the yungerman R' Moshe Yehoshua Weiss spoke words of admonition and enumerated the great lineage of the chosson and kallah.
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the chosson, the mechutanim, the grandfathers, and the entire assembly well, delivered warm holy words arousing the merit of the forefathers, and concluded with abundant blessings.
The kesuba was arranged, with the witnesses being R' Nachman Fish and R' Yechiel Eisik Weinstock (of Boro Park). Afterwards, they proceeded to the badeken in the halls of Keren Vyoel Moshe.

At the chuppah, the Rebbe shlit"a honored his mechutan, the Dushinsky Rebbe shlit"a, with the recitation of kiddushin. The kesuba was read by the kallah's great-uncle HaGaon Rabbi Avrohom Ieger shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Lublin, Switzerland. Sheva Brachos, first blessings: the kallah's grandfather, HaGaon Av Beis Din of Lublin shlit"a. The final blessing: the kallah's grandfather, HaGaon Av Beis Din of Faltichan shlit"a.

The great-uncle of the chosson, the Skver Rebbe shlit"a, also took part in the chuppah.
After the chuppah the Rebbe shlit"a bestowed holy blessings on the entire assembly, then broke into a mitzvah dance with the grandfathers and mechutanim shlit"a.

The Rebbe entered the wedding seudah at around 8:15. He danced in the middle of the floor and washed for the seudah, and after the fish he wished a lechayim to all the assembled people.
At around 9:30 the chosson entered. The Rebbe danced with the chosson for an extended time, then honored the grandfathers and mechutanim to dance with the chosson, and then danced with the whole assembly at the head. Afterwards the congregation came over to wish the Rebbe shlit"a mazel tov. The Rebbe left the beis medrash at 10:00 and returned to his holy home, where he davened Maariv.

At around 11:20 the Rebbe shlit"a entered for Birchas Hamazon and the mitzvah dance. For Birchas Hamazon the Rebbe honored HaGaon R' Aharon Shmuel Dushinsky shlit"a, Rosh Yeshiva of Dushinsky in Eretz Yisroel. Sheva Brachos, first blessings: HaGaon, Rav of our kehilla in Boro Park, shlit"a (15th Avenue). The final blessing: HaRav R' Feivel Ieger shlit"a (of Boro Park).

The badchan, R' Mordechai Dovid Oestreicher, called the Rebbe shlit"a to the dancing before the kallah with warm rhymes, arousing the merit of the forefathers. They continued with inspiring melodies, and the Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the chosson, mechutanim, grandfathers, and the huge assembled crowd well.

Then the Rebbe shlit"a performed the holy dances before the kallah with fiery enthusiasm for an extended time, and afterwards danced with the chosson, with the chosson's father, HaGaon Rav of the Beis Medrash Ohel Feiga shlit"a, and his family. He then continued with the entire royal family, the grandchildren of the Beirach Moshe zy"a, with holy emotion for an extended time.
Afterwards the Rebbe went out in a special dance with his brother, HaGaon, Rav of our kehilla in Boro Park (15th Avenue), shlit"a.

Then the grandfather, the Dushinsky Rebbe shlit"a, was called to the mitzvah dance, and after the holy dances, the Rebbe shlit"a broke into a festive dance with his mechutan for an extended time.

Afterwards the grandfather HaGaon Av Beis Din of Lublin shlit"a was called, along with the father of the chosson and the father of the kallah shlit"a, and the Rebbe danced with each of the grandfathers and mechutanim separately.
Then the badchan recited words of badchanus and called up the chosson, and they danced Eishes Chayil. On the way out the Rebbe wished the chosson and kallah well, as is customary. The Rebbe left the beis medrash at 2:20.
