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

This morning, before Shacharis, the following brisos took place:
- For the newborn son of R' Avrohom Yitzchak Lichtenstein, at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.
- For the newborn son of R' Mendel son of R' Yosef Friedman, at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Etz Chaim branch – third shiur. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Zalman Leib Stein.

After davening, the Rebbe delivered the daily Tehillim shiur on chapter 25, verse 1. Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Heichal HaBeis Medrash.

At around 1:45, the Rebbe went up to the Heichal HaMesivta, Divrei Yoel branch, where the Rebbe delivered the sixth shiur in the sugya series on the topic of "mitoch" (since one is permitted...) and the preparation for the Shabbos HaGadol derasha. The Rebbe concluded at around 2:25.

At around 6:20, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

In the evening, the Rebbe traveled to Williamsburg for the weekly reception hours.
The Rebbe's reception hours were from 8:15 until 1:00 at night, in his holy home on Hughes Street.

During the reception hours, the Rebbe was visited by HaGaon HaGadol, the Av Beis Din of Freiman shlit"a, and Rosh Av Beis Din of the Association of Rabbis. A lengthy conversation ensued in halacha and in the give-and-take of Torah study, and the Rebbe bestowed his holy blessing upon him.

Also held was the upsherin of the grandson of the Rebbe, the child son of HaRav R' Yekusiel Yehuda Teitelbaum shlit"a, son of the Av Beis Din of Williamsburg shlit"a. The Rebbe cut several hairs and put the kippah and tzitzis on him, drank a lechayim, and bestowed his holy blessing.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 10:30 and then continued receiving the public.
