Sunday, Parshas Pekudei — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for a newborn son of R' Meir Zeide Weiss (Williamsburg), in the home of his grandfather, HaRav HaChassid R' Avrohom Sholom Landau, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Kedushas Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put on tefillin for the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Bechor Moshe Sruga.

After davening, the Rebbe delivered the daily Tehillim shiur on chapter 25, verse 2. Afterward, a lechayim took place with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Rebbe's private room.
Also entering for a private audience was a group of outstanding yeshiva bochurim who had presented themselves for examination before HaGaon HaGadol, the Av Beis Din shlit"a, on the entire Maseches Bava Metzia, from beginning to end. The Rebbe distributed a Tehillim to the bochurim and bestowed his holy blessing upon them.

At around 1:40 the Rebbe went up to the Heichal HaMesivta, Divrei Yoel branch, where the Rebbe delivered the fourth shiur in the sugya, in the sugya of "mitoch," as preparation for the Shabbos HaGadol derasha. The Rebbe finished at around 2:15.

In the afternoon, at around 6:10, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

At around 7:10 the Rebbe went over to the main beis medrash for the simcha of a hachnasas sefer Torah, which was donated by HaRav HaChassid R' Shlomo Weinberger. The Rebbe took the sefer Torah, led the holy dancing, recited "L'Dovid Mizmor" as is customary, and bestowed his holy blessing upon the donor and his family.

At around 7:50 the Rebbe went over to the halls in his holy home on Ihel Street, where a Sheva Brachos in his honor took place for HaRav HaChassid R' Shlomo Hersh Eckstein, arranged by the administration of the Shul Hoif in the city of the forefathers, Sighet, may it be rebuilt. A pleasant conversation ensued. The Rebbe drank lechayim and offered blessings to the chosson, the mechutanim, the grandfathers, and the entire gathering. The mechutan, HaRav HaChassid R' Shlomo Hersh, was honored with leading the bentching, and the Rebbe recited the Sheva Brachos. Afterward, the Rebbe rose and danced with the chosson, and then with the mechutanim and grandfathers.

Private audience hours were from 8:15 until 11:45 at night, in his holy home on Ihel Street.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim of the mechutanim HaGaon Rabbi Menachem Zev Stern shlit"a (Williamsburg) and HaRav HaChassid R' Yoel Hersh Roth.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 11:45.
