Monday, Parshas Chayei Sarah — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Divrei Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim.
The son of HaGaon R' Yitzchak Shalom Friedman shlit"a - a moreh tzedek.
The son of R' Yosef Hersh Bennet shlit"a.
The bochur Shlomo Landau.

During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went to perform hagbah. After davening, he recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 24, verse 1. Afterward, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Rebbe's private room.

At around 1:15, the Rebbe arrived at the talmud torah building, the "Binyan Vider Palatchek," where the ceremony "Beginning of Gemara Study" took place for the nearly five hundred fourth-grade talmidim from the four branches of the Kiryas Yoel mosdos. The children sang several songs and rhymes in honor of the occasion. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the administrators, rebbeim, and all the children well, and distributed shirayim to the grandchildren. He also delivered a few brief words of blessing to the children, expressing the joy of the children that they are now beginning to learn Gemara, and concluded with abundant blessings.
The Rebbe then distributed shirayim to the rebbeim to give out to the children. The event ended at around 1:40.

In the afternoon, the Rebbe went up to the Heichal HaYeshiva, Kedushas Yoel branch, where the Rebbe learned with a chavrusa from among the yeshiva's talmidim in his private room. At around 5:10, the Rebbe davened Mincha in the yeshiva.

In the evening, the Rebbe officiated at kiddushin at the chuppah of the following mechutanim.
R' Yoel Nosson Wiesenfeld (of Boro Park) - R' Moshe Eliezer Katz, in the Kinor David halls.
R' Berel Gold - R' Yuda Weiss, in the Ginas Klein halls.
R' Yosef Yozefa Weissman - R' Yaakov Sussman Sofer, in the Beis Rachel Paradise halls.

Reception hours in the Rebbe's holy home, on Uhel Court, were from 8:00 until 12:00 at night.

During reception hours, the Toldos Aharon Rebbe shlit"a, who is staying in Kiryas Joel these days for the wedding celebration of his grandson, the chosson, which takes place today, Tuesday, in the Beis Rachel Paradise halls, with the kallah being the granddaughter of the HaGaon HaGadol, the Av Beis Din shlit"a, paid a visit to the Rebbe. A fine conversation ensued about Yiddishkeit in Eretz Yisroel and about the looming draft decree in Eretz Yisroel. The Rebbe honored him with a lechayim, bestowed his holy blessing upon him, and escorted him out to the street.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim of the mechutanim R' Michel Friedman - R' Elazar Rubinfeld shlit"a.

Also held was a siyum of the writing of the letters for a Sefer Torah being written by R' Yaakov Epstein, which will be brought into the beis medrash Noam Elimelech on Lizhensk on Motzei Shabbos. The Rebbe wrote in letters, drank a lechayim, and bestowed his holy blessing.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 11:30 and then continued to receive the public.
