Sunday, Parshas Vayeitzei, 1 Kislev — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Chaim Avrohom Frankel, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Divrei Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Shalom Levi.

The Rebbe proceeded to Hallel, and during the Torah reading he was called up as the fourth aliyah. After davening, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Rebbe's private room.

After Shacharis, the Rebbe went over to the halls in his holy home on Ahel Court, where the Rebbe extended his holy table in honor of Rosh Chodesh together with the talmidim of the Yeshiva Gedola Esek HaTorah of Monsey, under the leadership of HaGaon Rabbi Yisroel Mordechai Seidenfeld shlit"a.
The Rebbe arrived at about 12:45 and washed for the Rosh Chodesh seudah. During the seudah, they sang out the Rosh Chodesh nigunim of the holy Rebbe R' Hersh of Rimanov zy"a, whose yahrzeit it was.

After Borchi Nafshi, the Rebbe delivered words of Torah and quoted from the Chasam Sofer that there are forty days from Rosh Chodesh Elul until Yom Kippur, and forty days from Hoshana Rabba until Rosh Chodesh Kislev, so that Rosh Chodesh Kislev is an aspect of Yom Kippur, as it is said, 'There were no days as joyous for Israel as the fifteenth of Av and Yom Kippur, on which the daughters of Israel go out, etc.' Accordingly, these times are auspicious for shidduchim. He concluded with abundant blessings and wished shidduchim for all the bochurim.
The Rebbe honored the director shlit"a with leading Birkas HaMazon. The seudah ended at about 1:45.

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

In the evening, the Rebbe officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the mechutanim R' Yoel Epstein and R' Aharon Dovid Yitzchok Rubinstein, in the halls of Beis Rochel Paradise.

Receiving hours at the Rebbe's holy home on Ahel Court were from 8:15 until 12:00 at night.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tnaim for the following mechutanim:
R' Eli Krausz and R' Moshe Shmuel Samet.
R' Asher Yitzchok Wieder and R' Yoel Chaim Moshe Miller.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at about 11:30 and then continued receiving the public.
