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

This morning a bris took place for a newborn son of R' Dov Ber Halpert, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis at the Yeshiva Ketana, Sniff Hashiv Moshe, under the direction of Rabbi Shimon Avrohom Roth shlit"a.
Upon arrival, the Rebbe went straight into the beis medrash and looked in on the learning.
Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- The bochur Moshe Yechezkel Welz.
- The bochur Yitzchak Aharon Holender.

The Rebbe lit candles and went to the amud in honor of the yahrzeit of the Bubbe, the Rebbetzin Bracha Sima a"h, wife of the chaver of the Atzei Chaim zy"a, and during the Torah reading was called up as the third aliyah.

After davening, a group of bochurim entered the Rebbe's private room and brought in larger sums for the benefit of the Kiryas Joel fund.

Afterwards a lechayim gathering took place in the main hall of the beis medrash. Several nigunim were sung, the Rebbe drank lechayim and wished the bar mitzvah bochurim, the rebbeim and the talmidim of the yeshiva well, and shared a Torah thought from the teachings of the holy Ohev Yisroel of Apta zy"a, whose yahrzeit it was, continued with preparation for Yom Tov Pesach, and concluded with his holy blessing.

At around 6:15 the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home on Zanz Street. The Rebbe lit candles and went to the amud in honor of the yahrzeit of the Bubbe, the Rebbetzin Bracha Sima a"h.

In the evening the Rebbe officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the mechutanim R' Yitzchak Meir Brauer and R' Mattisyahu Deutsch in the Gina Klein halls.

Reception hours in Kiryas Joel were from 8:30 until 1:15 at night at his holy home on Ohel Street.

During reception hours, a delegation of rabbanim and heads of the kashrus organizations under the auspices of the Rabbinical Union entered the Rebbe's presence. A fine conversation took place about the kashrus of foods, especially for Yom Tov Pesach, and various questions that arose recently were discussed. They also presented the Rebbe with the new 'Mafteach HaKashrus' for the upcoming Yom Tov Pesach, and the Rebbe sent them off with his holy blessing.

At around 10:10 the Rebbe went down to the halls in his holy home, where the Rebbe read the tnaim for the mechutanim:
- R' Avrohom Amram Markowitz and R' Moshe Yitzchak Itzkowitz.
- R' Shlomo Neumann and R' Asher Zebel.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 12:00.
