Monday, Vayeilech, Erev Rosh Hashana — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

At dawn, at around 5:25, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a entered the Beis Medrash HaGadol for the recital of Selichos, "Zechor Bris."
The Rebbe shlit"a led the Selichos as the shliach tzibbur with great fervor, wrapped in the tallis and wearing the kapel of the Divrei Yoel zy"a, brought by R' Moshe Falkowitz.
R' Yaakov Forgacs and R' Akiva Weinstock were honored with the Pesichos. They finished at around 7:40, and the Rebbe went home to his holy residence.

At around 9:45 the Rebbe arrived in the Beis Medrash HaGadol for Shacharis. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- the bochur Yaakov Teller.
- the bochur Mordechai Schorr.

- Pesichah: R' Avrohom Yoshe Katina of London.
- Kohen: R' Yoel son of R' Zalman Leib Friedman.
- Levi: R' Simcha Yisroel Apfel.
- Shlishi: the bar mitzvah bochur Yaakov Teller.
- Hagbah: the Rebbe shlit"a.
- Gelilah: the bar mitzvah bochur Mordechai Schorr.

After davening, the Rebbe recited fifteen chapters of Tehillim and completed Tehillim for the second time, as is customary in the month of Elul. After removing his tefillin, the Rebbe shlit"a performed Hataras Nedarim before a minyan and recited the Mesiras Modaah, thanked them, and wished them a kesiva v'chasima tova.

After Shacharis, the Rebbe paid a shiva call to R' Zelig Zwiebel and his esteemed sons, who are sitting shiva for their son/brother a"h.

At the Rebbe's holy residence, a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Tuvia Bardi Kohn, at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel. After the bris, the Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed of his holy blessings.
