Thursday, Parshas Nitzavim-Vayeilech — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for a baby boy born to R' Avrohom Yekusiel Zalman Stein, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Beirach Moshe branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Kalman Eliezer Babor.

During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went up for Hagbah, and after davening the shofar was blown. A lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Rebbe's private room. The outstanding bochurim also entered, who presented themselves for a farher on the entire Maseches Bava Metzia, and the Rebbe distributed a 12-challah and bestowed his holy blessing.

After a short while, the Rebbe returned to the beis medrash, where he reviewed the ninth and final sugya of the shiur on the topic of 'Mitzvos were not given for enjoyment,' as preparation for the Shabbos Shuvah derasha. He then continued with preparation toward the Days of Mercy and Favor, and concluded with abundant blessings for all the bochurim.

The kabbalas kahal (receiving of visitors) was from 6:30 until 12:00 at night, in his holy home on Ohel Court.
Around 7:30 the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim for the mechutanim, HaRav HaChosid R' Chaim Eliezer Weiss and HaRav HaChosid R' Moshe Simcha Kaufman.
During the kabbalas kahal, the Rebbe shlit"a delivered words of greeting and blessing through a hookup to the members of the Montreal community at the 'community assembly' that took place in our great beis medrash in Montreal. First, the head of the beis din, HaGaon HaTzaddik, the rav of the Yismach Moshe beis medrash shlit"a, spoke at some length on behalf of the Rebbe shlit"a. Then the Rebbe delivered his words and expressed that, as a talmud torah is being prepared to open this coming winter, b'ezras Hashem, one must take care to adhere to the regulations of the founder of our kehilla and holy mosdos, the holy Rebbe, the Divrei Yoel zy"a, so that the mosdos will be a source of pride for Montreal, just as our great beis medrash is a source of pride and splendor for the entire city. The Rebbe concluded with abundant blessings for the askanim who are at the helm and for the entire community.

The Rebbe davened Maariv around 12:00.
