Sunday, Parshas Pinchas — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Heichal of the Mesivta, Kedushas Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim.
The bochur Yechiel Yair Neiman.
The bochur Chaim Zvi son of Aharon Yosef Weiss.
The bochur Yoshe Ganz.
The bochur Menachem Mendel Samet.
The bochur Yoel son of Shmuel Zanvil Palachek.
After davening, the Rebbe recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 22, verse 1. Afterwards a lechayim took place with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Heichal of the beis medrash on the occasion of the holy hilula of the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh zy"a. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and related holy stories for an extended time.

During the morning hours, a lengthy gathering took place in his holy home with the committee that the Rebbe appointed to find solutions for the costly housing problems in K"J. The gathering took place after intense deliberations and meetings in which the devoted committee members consulted over numerous options for various approaches to bring down apartment prices in Kiryas Joel. Present were the committee members R' Yoel Bernath, R' Yeshaya Wertzberger, and R' Chaim Shlomo Kraus.
Also present were the village administrator R' Gedalia Segedin and the askan R' Avrohom Yoshe Glantz.
The Rebbe discussed at length with the askanim all the problems they encounter in their mission. They presented all the options and solutions, with concrete progress, on the matter of negotiating with the developers to keep prices stable. The Rebbe warmly bestowed his holy blessing upon them.

In the middle of the gathering, they paused at a set time, and the Rebbe shlit"a delivered via a hook-up to the talmidim of our holy yeshiva in Bnei Brak a shmaitta in the sugya of "Ein Shaliach L'Davar Aveirah," which they are currently learning, and concluded with brief words of guidance and his holy blessing.

In the evening, the Rebbe officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the mechutanim R' Yoel Kaufman and R' Avrohom Shmuel Brach, in the Kinor David hall.

At around 7:30, the Rebbe arrived at the ceremony of affixing the mezuzah and chanukas habayis of the 27th beis medrash in the holy community of Kiryas Joel, the new beis medrash "Imrei Noam" on Zhikov Street in the Divrei Yoel neighborhood. The Rebbe affixed a mezuzah, then went inside and looked around the entire beis medrash. Afterwards a lechayim gathering took place in the Heichal of the beis medrash. R' Dovid Eckstein from Eretz Yisroel spoke, and several nigunim were sung. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and warmly wished mazel tov to the HaGaon HaGadol, the Av Beis Din shlit"a, and to HaGaon Rabbi Yisroel Ber Stein shlit"a, the dayan of the beis medrash, and to R' Gedalia Segedin, who helped greatly for the beis medrash and for the entire community. He then delivered words of his holy mouth about the importance of naming streets after towns of the old home, which awakens the merit of the tzaddikim who lived there, both the name "Zhikov" and the name of the beis medrash "Imrei Noam," which awakens the great tzaddikim of the house of Zhikov, as well as the name of the neighborhood "Divrei Yoel," in honor and memory of the holy Rebbe zy"a. This will surely inspire the mispallelim of the beis medrash and the residents of the neighborhood to conduct themselves as befits Torah, avodah and gemilus chasadim. He also spoke in praise of the esteemed dayan of the beis medrash who was hired, HaGaon Rabbi Yisroel Ber Stein shlit"a, whose name precedes him in halacha rulings, etc., and wished him success in all matters and that no stumbling block should come from under his hands, and concluded with his holy blessing.

A pleasant conversation developed with the rabbanim shlit"a present, and the Rebbe continued with holy stories of the holy Rebbe, the Imrei Noam of Zhikov zy"a. It ended at around 8:00.

Yichidus hours were from 8:05 until 12:50 at night, in his holy home on Ohel Court.

At around 9:15, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim in the tenaim hall in his holy home for the following mechutanim.
R' Yaakov Yechezkel Markovitz - HaGaon Rabbi Chaim Moshe Lev shlit"a (of Boro Park).
R' Yosef Yoel Levi - R' Yaakov Friedman.
During the yichidus hours, the HaGaon HaGadol, the Av Beis Din shlit"a, entered to bid farewell ahead of the Rebbe's departure for the vacation town in New Hampshire. The dayan shlit"a gave a kvitel and asked to be remembered, and requested that the Rebbe keep him in mind during the trip to the city of the forefathers, Sighet, at the tziyun of the holy Yismach Moshe zy"a on the day of the holy hilula.

Several distinguished members of the kehilla's leadership also entered the yichidus to hand over a kvitel for the Rebbe to take to the holy tziyunim of our holy Rebbes in Sighet, Uhel, and Sanz, to be remembered for yeshua and mercy.

A lechayim gathering also took place in the yichidus room in honor of the wedding simcha of the kallah, daughter of R' Yisroel Shimon Meir Leifer shlit"a of Temesvar, K"J, to the chosson, son of R' Yitzchak Dovid Twersky shlit"a, the Rebbe of Trisk-Tolna, son of the Trisk-London Rebbe shlit"a. A pleasant conversation ensued about stories of the tzaddikim of the house of Trisk. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessings upon the mechutanim and grandfathers shlit"a.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 12:50.
