Sunday, Parshas Vayeishev — '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 Fishel K"Tz.
- The bochur Simcha Meir Falkowitz.
- The bochur Zev Elazar Reichman.
- The bochur Shaul Yechezkel Glick.
- The bochur Yechiel Alter Pollak.

After davening, a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Lipa Deutsch, at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.
Afterwards, a lechayim was held in the heichal of the beis medrash with the bar mitzvah bochurim and the baal bris.

During the morning hours, HaGaon HaGadol Rabbi Matisyahu Deutsch shlit"a, Av Beis Din of the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood in Yerushalayim, the holy city, and author of Shu"t Nesivos Adam, paid a visit to the Rebbe shlit"a. A longer conversation of close to an hour took place in matters of Torah and halacha. The Rebbe honored him with a lechayim, bestowed upon him his holy blessing, and accompanied him out.

The Rebbe davened Mincha at around 5:15 and Maariv at around 6:20 in his holy residence on Kiryas Joel's Route 'Zanz'.

In the evening, the Rebbe officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the mechutanim:
- R' Yaakov Yitzchak Schwartz and R' Efraim Zelkowitz in the halls of Kinor David.
- R' Chaim Zalman Weisberg and R' Moshe Hersh Brach in the halls of Beis Rachel Paradise.

At around 8:50, the Rebbe read the tenaim in his holy residence for the mechutanim R' Hershel Levy and R' Yitzchak Yonah Zabel.

"The sound of joy and salvation in the tents of the righteous"

At around 9:00, the Rebbe entered the Beis Medrash HaGadol for the central Sheva Brachos celebration in our holy courts, attended by thousands of chassidim, arranged by our holy kehilla in honor of the Rebbe shlit"a and HaGaon HaTzaddik, Av Beis Din of Kiryas Joel and its environs shlit"a.
Upon entering, the Rebbe danced in place for several minutes and then washed for the Sheva Brachos seudah. During the Sheva Brachos, many songs of praise, thanksgiving and joy were sung. R' Dovid Eckstein from Eretz Yisroel performed, expressing the feelings of the members of our holy kehilla over the great joy in the home of the Rebbe shlit"a and HaGaon HaTzaddik, Av Beis Din of Kiryas Joel shlit"a, and afterwards he called upon the Rav shlit"a.
The Rav shlit"a said divrei Torah in honor of the simcha and spoke in praise of the residents of Kiryas Joel and the merit they have to be close to the Rebbe shlit"a's holy presence every Shabbos, and especially on the exalted Yamim Tovim. He also spoke in praise of the esteemed chosson and of the mechutan, his son-in-law HaGaon Rabbi Yoel Glantz shlit"a, and wished the Rebbe shlit"a many blessings, that he should still bear fruit in old age until the coming of the true Redeemer, speedily in our days.
The singing of joyous songs continued, and the Rebbe stood up and danced for a while.

The Rebbe then delivered a Torah address on topics relating to marriage, combining Yom Tov Chanukah with marriage. He then continued with preparation for the coming Yom Tov of Chanukah and urged everyone to learn the sefer Bnei Yissaschar on Chanukah as preparation for Chanukah, saying, 'The Yom Tov is entirely different after learning such a holy sefer as Bnei Yissaschar.' The Rebbe concluded with praise to Hashem for the great joy of making a wedding for a fourth generation, mazel tov, and wished the entire congregation that everyone should merit to make a wedding for a fourth generation and to take part in it in full health, and he concluded with many blessings for the entire congregation.

The singing of joyous songs continued, and a panel in the spirit of badchanus took place with R' Chaim Hersh Glanzer and R' Yoel Brown.

- Birkas Hamazon: the grandfather, HaGaon HaTzaddik, Av Beis Din of Bardiov shlit"a.
- The first brachos: HaGaon HaGadol, the Dayan and Moreh Tzedek shlit"a.
- The final bracha: HaGaon HaTzaddik, Av Beis Din of Kiryas Joel and its environs shlit"a.
The event ended at around 11:15, and the Rebbe shlit"a was accompanied out with song and music.
