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

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Beis Medrash HaGadol. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- The bochur Yosef Yoel Yosha Blumenthal.
- The bochur Avrohom Yosha Wertzberger, son of R' Meir.
- The bochur Yoel Goldstein, son of R' Eliezer.
- The bochur Yoel, son of the bochur Yaakov Yosef Weiss.
After davening, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Rebbe's private room.

In the late morning, around 12:45, the Rebbe shlit"a, in his holy home, tested the hundreds of ninth-grade talmidim from both branches of the Mosdos Kiryas Joel on the entire Maseches Kiddushin, which they learned over the past year. The Rebbe tested the bochurim for an extended time and then warmly wished the menahalim, the rebbeim, and all the bochurim well.

Around 6:45 the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home on Zanz Street.

Entry hours to the Rebbe were from 8:10 until 11:20 at night, in his holy home on Uhel Street.

During the entry hours, askanim of the "Verommemanu" initiative came in to the Rebbe. They devote themselves to distributing excerpts from the divrei Torah of the Rebbe shlit"a over the past year, and especially before the Yamim Tovim, to bring a desire and a joy to a mitzvah, etc. The Rebbe looked over the booklet of excerpts from the past year and the booklet being published in honor of Simchas Torah with the divrei Torah from last Simchas Torah 5785, and warmly wished the askanim that they should be able to continue with the holy work.

Also entering the Rebbe's room was HaRav R' Zalman Leib Kappel, who presented to the Rebbe shlit"a the sefer Minchas Shabsai by the holy Rabbi Shabsai Sheftel Weiss zt"l, Av Beis Din of Shimoni, which has now been printed by his grandchildren after the manuscript was found. A pleasant conversation about the holy Shimoni Rebbe zt"l ensued, and the Rebbe gave him a share of his holy blessing.

The Rebbe davened Maariv around 11:20.

Late at night in his holy home, the Rebbe went over the lists of all the tzedakah being sent out these days on his behalf to various needy people in honor of Yom Tov.

In addition, the Rebbe received a precise report on the campaign that the Rebbe asked the yeshiva talmidim to undertake to raise large sums for the poor of Eretz Yisroel ahead of the big trip at the beginning of the month of Kislev, led by the loyal house bochur, the esteemed Shneur Zalman Eckstein. The Rebbe went over the details of the campaign as it stands, and gave encouragement to proceed with even greater vigor to raise larger sums for the benefit of the poor of Eretz Yisroel.
