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

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

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Divrei Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- the bochur Naftali Yechezkel Shraga Landau.
- the bochur Yisroel Moshe Spitzer.
- the bochur Chaim Yosef Shimon Shmaye.
- the bochur Yoel Efraim Fishel Fried.
- the bochur Yonah Dovid Perl.

After davening, the Rebbe recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 26, verse 4. Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in his private room.

At around 1:30 the Rebbe traveled to Boro Park for the Chumash seudah of the students of our holy mosdos.
The Rebbe arrived at around 3:10 and entered the beis medrash hall, where hundreds of parents and grandfathers of the children were present, among them many Rebbes and rabbanim, headed by the HaGaon Rabbi, Av Beis Din of Boro Park shlit"a, the HaGaon Rav of our kehilla in Boro Park 15 shlit"a, and many other Rebbes and rabbanim of the city shlit"a.
The children sang rhymes in honor of the occasion and melodies of Torah learning, and the menahel, Rabbi Yosef Binyomin Stern shlit"a, spoke, as did the HaGaon Rav of Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a, the grandfather of one of the chassanim of the Mikra.
The children then recited the verses of Chumash from Parshas Vayikra, led by the expert melamed Rabbi Yosef Hersh Miller shlit"a, after which all the children passed by and the Rebbe distributed a siddur to each child.
The Rebbe delivered brief words of Torah in honor of the chassanei haChumash, drank lechayim and bestowed from his holy blessing. The event concluded at around 4:10.

The Rebbe then traveled to Williamsburg.
Upon arrival, the Rebbe first went up to the home of the rabbani and philanthropist R' Yitzchak Schwartz in appreciation of his many efforts for the Toras'cha Sha'ashuai group of our holy kehilla. Askanim of Toras'cha Sha'ashuai from all neighborhoods were also present, and many details were discussed on how to improve and increase the number of learners in the group for the second cycle, and HaRav R' Shlomo Shabsi Kestenbaum shlit"a, one of the rabbanim of the group, spoke.
The Rebbe drank lechayim, warmly wished R' Yitzchak and all the askanim well, and delivered words of Torah, chizuk and blessing to the askanim. Afterwards the Rebbe returned to his holy residence on Hewes St.

At around 6:00 the Rebbe went over to the Heichal of Yeshiva L'Tze'irim for the simchas hachnasas sefer Torah, donated by the rabbani and philanthropist R' Avrohom Brach, benefactor and patron of the yeshiva. The Rebbe took the Sefer Torah and danced in holy dance for an extended time, and honored his son, the HaGaon Av Beis Din of Williamsburg shlit"a, to dance with the Sefer Torah, and afterwards recited "L'Dovid Mizmor" as customary.

The Rebbe then went to the adjacent building of the Yeshiva Ketana, Nezer HaTorah branch, under the direction of Rabbi Yoel Rosenberg shlit"a, where the Rebbe davened Mincha. After Mincha a lechayim gathering was held in the yeshiva's heichal. Several melodies were sung, and the Rebbe drank lechayim and delivered words of Torah and guidance to the bochurim, as well as words of preparation for the summer weeks, all of which are a preparation for the Yamim Noraim, which should come upon us for good. It concluded at around 7:15 and the Rebbe returned to his holy residence on Hewes St.

At around 8:40 the Rebbe went over to the Heichal of Yeshiva L'Tze'irim for the siyum seudah on the completion of a Torah tractate together with the chanukas habayis of the yeshiva building. The HaGaon Av Beis Din of Williamsburg shlit"a spoke with words of praise for the honored baal simcha and benefactor of the yeshiva R' Avrohom Brach. Several melodies were sung, and R' Wolf Meir Weiss spoke in honor of his father-in-law, the rabbani and philanthropist R' Avrohom Brach. Two parents of students, Rabbi Elazar Mendel Filaff shlit"a and HaRav R' Yoel Mittelman, spoke in praise of the yeshiva.
The Rebbe then delivered words of Torah on the verse "Boker v'yodah Hashem es asher lo" ("In the morning Hashem will make known who is His") and spoke words of guidance to the bochurim. He then spoke about the Toras'cha Sha'ashuai group, noting that they are now beginning the second cycle of Shas and many people are joining. It is very precious in the eyes of the Creator, but equally precious to the Creator is one who cannot learn a daf of Gemara a day, yet has his own fixed shiurim, whether in the Yesodei HaTorah group or even other shiurim. It is the same holy Torah. The Rebbe gave them strong chizuk. He concluded with praise of the honored benefactor of the yeshiva and donor of the Sefer Torah, the rabbani and philanthropist R' Avrohom Brach, who spares no expense for the yeshiva and

likewise for the yeshiva's camps, and this is aside from his many other donations to our holy kehilla. He wished him abundant blessings in all matters, and wished success to his son, the HaGaon Av Beis Din of Williamsburg shlit"a, who is also the Rosh Yeshiva, and to all the rebbeim and students of the yeshiva.
Afterwards the Rebbe stood up and danced for an extended time. At around 10:20 the Rebbe left the yeshiva building and traveled home to Kiryas Joel.

At around 11:40 the Rebbe davened Maariv in his holy residence on Zanz St.
