Wednesday, Parshas Ki Seitzei — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Heichal HaMesivta, the Veyoel Moshe branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur Hillel Herskowitz.
After davening, the Rebbe blew the shofar and led the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 23, verse 3. Afterward, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Rebbe's private room.

At around 6:40 the Rebbe arrived at the newly completed location of the Gemach Shaarei Tovah - Chesed Menachem Zev, adjacent to the Beis Medrash HaGadol, which was built next to the Beis Medrash HaGadol for the benefit of thousands of families. The Rebbe affixed a mezuzah at the entrance, toured the premises, and heard a report from R' Avrohom Yoshe Glantz, one of the heads of the gemach. Afterward a lechayim gathering was held, during which a pleasant conversation developed about the many improvements made at the new location, and it was noted that during the past twenty years since the gemach opened, the enormous sum of over one hundred and forty million dollars has been lent out!
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and warmly wished well to the benefactor of the gemach, the esteemed philanthropist R' Akiva Tzvi Klein, and to the heads of the kehilla and the gemach askanim.

Afterward, the Rebbe crossed over to the adjacent shtiebel, which was built for the bedek habayis needs of the many smaller building projects of the Beis Medrash HaGadol. The Rebbe toured the premises and heard a report from R' Dovid Eckstein, from the Rebbe's gabbaim, about the many preparations in the Beis Medrash HaGadol for the month of Tishrei, may it come upon us for good. He then affixed a mezuzah at the entrance and bestowed his holy blessing.

Entry hours were from 7:00 until 11:40 at night, at the Rebbe's holy residence on Ohel Court.

In the evening at around 7:20, the Rebbe officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the following mechutanim:
HaRav Nosson Dov, son of R' Shraga Zalman Schwartz shlit"a - R' Chaim Hersh Roth, at Kinor David hall.
R' Yoel, son of R' Moshe Zev Friedrich - R' Avrohom Palacsek, at Beis Rachel Paradise hall.

After the chuppahs, at around 7:45, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy residence.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim for the mechutanim R' Yosef Leib Sander (and his family) - R' Shmuel Binyomin Falkowitz.

After the tenaim, the Rebbe davened Maariv, and then continued receiving the public.
