Report
Wednesday, Parshas Matos-Masei, 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a in the Resort Town of Bethlehem, New Hampshire

The Rebbe entered the beis medrash for Shacharis at around 8:50. Before davening, the simcha of the first laying of tefillin took place for the Rebbe's dear grandson, the bar mitzvah bochur Chaim Tzvi ny"u, son of Rabbi Meir Yehuda Ashkenazi shlit"a, son-in-law of the Rebbe's son, HaGaon Rabbi, the Rav of Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a. The Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur and then wound the straps around his fingers.
Afterwards the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Wolf Bar Mitzvah Landau (Kiryas Joel).
Baal tefillah: R' Yaakov Eliezer Rubin (Kiryas Joel).

After davening, a lechayim gathering took place in the main hall of the beis medrash. A beautiful conversation unfolded with stories of tzaddikim about the holy Baal Ohr LaShamayim of Apta zy"a and the holy Sha'agas Aryeh zy"a, whose yahrzeits it was.
The Rebbe drank lechayim and warmly wished the bar mitzvah bochur and the entire assembly well, and delivered words of Torah on the verse "And it shall be for you as a sign upon your hand," explaining that teshuva out of love remains forever. Tefillin is a sign of love from Hashem to Klal Yisroel and brings about Klal Yisroel's love for Hashem. The Rebbe brought out the joy that a grandson began laying tefillin today and wished abundant blessings. The Rebbe continued, saying that IY"H he will travel to Europe to visit the holy graves in Sighet, Uhel, and Zanz. Fear and trembling grip one at the thought of going up to the grave of the holy Divrei Chaim zy"a, and the same in Sighet and Uhel. May Hashem help that he travel with success, return home with success, and accomplish all good, "and the upright shall rejoice in us, the fiery creatures."

Afterwards the entire assembly came over to bid farewell.

At around 1:15 the Rebbe left his holy residence for an 18-minute drive to Mount Washington Regional Airport, from which the Rebbe's private plane took off at around 1:45 on the way to Boston International Airport. The plane landed at around 2:35, and the Rebbe entered a side room where he davened Mincha with a small minyan of several kehilla leaders and attendants. Baal tefillah: the bochur Yehuda son of Naftali Hirtzka Stein.

At around 5:15 the plane took off from Boston on the way to Amsterdam.

About 3 hours after takeoff, the Rebbe davened Maariv on the plane. Baal tefillah: the Shabbos Kodesh attendant Chananya Yom Tov Lipa Deutsch ny"u.

On the plane the Rebbe learned Torah in Maseches Bava Kamma for an extended time, and afterwards studied the wondrous sefarim Otzros Yismach Moshe and Darkei Yismach Moshe.
