Friday, Erev Shabbos Parshas Vayeilech — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

At dawn, at 5:45, the Rebbe shlit"a entered the main beis medrash for the recital of Selichos. The baal tefillah was R' Shlomo Zalman Stein. It concluded at around 6:35, and the Rebbe returned to his holy residence.

Before Shacharis, the Rebbe connected by telephone with the bochur Moshe ben Gitel, a talmid of our holy yeshiva Maharit in Bnei Brak, who is sitting in prison for the "offense" of refusing to report to the treife Zionist army. The Rebbe strengthened him greatly and bestowed upon him his holy blessing.

At around 9:50, the Rebbe arrived at the main beis medrash for Shacharis.
Before davening, the bris of the newborn son of R' Yoshe Dovid Markowitz took place, at which the Rebbe served as sandek.

The Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- The bochur Meir Menachem Zev Hirsch.
- The bochur Nachman Schlager.
- The bochur Shmuel Tuvia Freund.
- The bochur Nachman Dovid Schmidman.
- The bochur Chaim Zev Falkowitz.

After davening, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the hall of the beis medrash.
