Report
Wednesday, Parshas Berachah (Part 1) — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

At around 5:45 the Rebbe shlit"a entered the Beis Medrash HaGadol for the recital of Selichos. The baal tefillah was R' Yehoshua Shmuel Weider. It concluded at around 6:35, and the Rebbe returned to his holy home.

Before Shacharis, a bris was held for the newborn son of R' Moshe, son of R' Yoel Kaufman, at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Beis Medrash HaGadol. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
the bochur Yosef Binyomin Weider.
the bochur Eliyahu Powell.
the bochur Yehuda Heiman.

After davening, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the heichal of the beis medrash. A fine conversation ensued about the resting place of his grandfather, the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Elazar Nissan zy"a, whose yahrzeit falls on Shlosh Esrei Middos, and the Rebbe recounted for a longer time memories from several trips to Europe forty years ago.

In the afternoon hours, at around 4:30, the Superintendent of the New York State Police Department came to the Rebbe's holy home together with other high-ranking police officers, after holding an extended visit in Kiryas Joel, where they toured the town accompanied by the Kehilla's administration: R' Avrohom Weider, R' Gedalya Segedin, and R' Moshe Leib Weitreil. This was part of a step to increase security in the Jewish neighborhoods due to the rise in antisemitic incidents across the country. They came to the Rebbe shlit"a to receive his holy blessing. R' Gedalya introduced them to the Rebbe, and a conversation ensued in which they expressed their admiration for the city of Kiryas Joel and highly praised the low crime rate in Kiryas Joel. The Rebbe bestowed his holy blessing.

Entry times for kvitlach were from 6:15 until 12:00 at night, at the Rebbe's holy home on Ohel Court.

The Rebbe davened Mincha at around 7:00 and Maariv at around 10:30. Before Maariv, the Rebbe lit 5 candles and said Kaddish after Maariv in honor of the holy hilula of his grandfather, the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Elazar Nissan zy"a. After Maariv, the Rebbe continued to receive the public.
