Before the fish, the Rebbe delivered words of Torah on the verse "These are the generations of Noach," and brought out that through singing zemiros and praises at the Shabbos seudah, the body receives kedushah, and one has the strength to fight the yetzer hara an entire week. He thereby urged the bochurim to conduct the Shabbos seudah properly with zemiros and praises, and said that "we have not hired a group of singers," rather the entire yeshiva must sing the Shabbos zemiros in honor of Shabbos.

Through learning Torah one merits to hear the heavenly voice emanating from Mount Chorev saying "Return, wayward children," and one merits teshuva. He also spoke words of chizuk for the new zman, to baalei batim, avreichim, bochurim and yeshiva students, to ensure that they have Torah shiurim with absolute consistency.

From there the Rebbe traveled to Williamsburg for the siyum on Maseches Kiddushin by the graduates of our holy institutions' 9th grade, which took place in the halls of Ginas Esther.
The Rebbe arrived at about 11:50. The bochur Shimon, son of Yechezkel Dovid Berkowitz, one of the students, sang rhymes in honor of the occasion. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and offered good wishes to his brother, HaGaon Rabbi, Rav of our kehilla in Boro Park shlit"a, to the HaGaon Av Beis Din of Williamsburg shlit"a, to the rabbanim present, the parents, and all the bochurim.
