Monday, Parshas Chukas — "B'tzeil HaKodesh" with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Binyamin Eidelish, at which the Rebbe served as sandek.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the yeshiva gedolah, Divrei Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the twin bar mitzvah bochurim, sons of R' Moshe Zev Friedman.

During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went up for hagbah. After davening, he recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 26, verse 1. Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in his private room.

In the afternoon, the Rebbe went up to the yeshiva, Divrei Yoel branch, where he learned with a chavrusa from among the yeshiva's students in his private room.

In the evening, the Rebbe officiated at kiddushin at the chuppah of the following mechutanim:
- HaRav Yosef Dovid Levy shlit"a and R' Yoel son of R' Moshe Falkowitz in the halls of Kinor Dovid.
- R' Mordechai Yaakov Klein and R' Yoel son of R' Yisroel Schnitzer in the halls of Beis Rochel Paradise.
- R' Berel Greenhut and R' Meir Yoshe Berkowitz in the halls of Ginas Klein.

At around 8:40, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his home, in the Ohel Kt. Afterwards, there were entry times in Kiryas Joel until 12:45 at night.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim of the mechutanim:
- R' Yechiel Palatchek and R' Hillel Neiman.
- R' Chaim Ber Mendlowitz and R' Pinchas Yechezkel Breuer.

During the entry times, the Skulen Rebbe shlit"a visited in Kiryas Joel. A pleasant conversation ensued about his grandfather, the holy Rabbi Meir Greenwald zt"l, Av Beis Din of Tetch, and about the years when the Baal Kedushas Yom Tov zy"a served as rav in the city of Tetch. The Rebbe honored him with a lechayim, bestowed his holy blessing upon him, and accompanied him out to the door.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 12:45.
