Friday, Parshas Terumah, 1 Adar, "B'tzeil HaKodesh" with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for a newborn son of R' Wolf Pollack, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.
Afterwards the Rebbe went over to the home of HaRav R' Yoel Markovitch, where a bris took place for a newborn son of his son-in-law R' Yoel Yitzchak Schonbrun, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Heichal of Yeshiva Gedolah, Shiur Dalet. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- the bochur Yechezkel Dovid Berkowitz.
- the bochur Yoshe Dovid Rapaport.
- the bochur Shmuel Leib Fried.
- the bochur Pesach Chaim Kramer.

The Rebbe led Hallel, and during the Torah reading, he was called up for Hagbah.
Mussaf: HaRav R' Yechezkel Dovid Berkowitz.
After davening, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Heichal of the beis medrash.

Afterwards, the Rebbe set his holy table in honor of Rosh Chodesh together with the yeshiva students. The Rebbe washed for the seudah and tore the challah with his hands, as is customary on Erev Shabbos. They sang the Rosh Chodesh niggunim and niggunim of the month of Adar, and a general kvitel from the entire yeshiva was presented to the Rebbe shlit"a.
With Barchi Nafshi, the Rebbe honored HaRav Shlomo Hersh Kornbluh shlit"a, a rebbi in the yeshiva.

The Rebbe shlit"a delivered words of Torah, saying that Mordechai HaTzaddik was "doresh tov l'amo"; "tov" refers to shidduchim, as explained in the Gemara, "Lo tov heyos adam levado." He wished that there be an increase of simcha with many shidduchim in the yeshiva, and concluded with his holy blessing.
With Birkas Hamazon, the Rebbe honored HaGaon R' Yitzchak Yaakov Rosenfeld shlit"a, one of the roshei yeshiva. They concluded at around 1:20.

At around 3:30, the Rebbe went over to the home of the distinguished philanthropist R' Yechezkel Dovid Berkowitz, where a siyum on the writing of the letters of a Sefer Torah took place; the Sefer Torah was to be brought into the local beis medrash in the Ohel Basya area this Shabbos. They sang inspiring niggunim, the Rebbe wrote several letters, and honored HaRav R' Yechezkel Dovid and his family members with completing the final letters.
A pleasant conversation ensued, during which HaRav R' Yechezkel Dovid showed the Rebbe a handwritten manuscript of his ancestor, the holy Gaon, the Kedushas Yom Tov, and also gave the Rebbe shlit"a the sefer Kisvei Yoel, all the Torah teachings handwritten by the holy hand of the Rebbe, the Divrei Yoel zy"a, which he published in honor of the bar mitzvah celebration of his son, the bochur Shimon. Afterwards his son, the bochur Shimon, recited several chiddushim from his bar mitzvah pshetl.
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and gave blessings to HaRav R' Yechezkel Dovid, to his father HaRav R' Avrohom Yaakov, to his father-in-law HaRav R' Moshe Yosef Mittelman, and to the entire family. He then went to Hagbah with the Sefer Torah and danced with the open Sefer Torah for an extended time. The bar mitzvah boy, the bochur Shimon, was honored with Gelilah, and his father HaRav R' Avrohom Yaakov was honored with putting on the Kesser Torah. Afterwards the Rebbe stood up and danced with the Sefer Torah, and then honored HaRav R' Yechezkel Dovid and his family members to dance with the Sefer Torah. They concluded at around 4:00.
