Wednesday, Parshas Tzav — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, a bris for a newborn son took place by R' Eliezer Meir Samet, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Yeshiva Ketana branch of Kedushas Yom Tov, under the leadership of HaRav R' Shmuel Meir Levy shlit"a. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- the bochur Michoel Eliyahu Gavriel Egami.
- the bochur Shneur Zalman Hecht.
- the bochur Moshe Malach.
The Rebbe lit candles and went to the amud in honor of the yahrzeit of the Bobbe, the Rebbetzin Chana a"h, wife of the Chaver of Maran HaGaon HaKadosh, the Baal Kedushas Yom Tov zy"a.

After davening, a lechayim gathering took place in the Heichal of the beis medrash. Several nigunim were sung, and the Rebbe drank lechayim and wished the bar mitzvah bochurim, the rebbeim and the talmidei hayeshiva well. He delivered divrei Torah and repeated in the name of the holy Yitav Lev zy"a that rising before dawn is a form of mesiras nefesh. He praised the talmidei hayeshiva, saying that sitting and learning in yeshiva until the 7th of Nisan is also mesiras nefesh. The Rebbe then continued by asking the bochurim several questions from their yeshiva studies in Maseches Bava Kama, and concluded with his holy blessing.

At around 7:15 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 Bobbe, the Rebbetzin Chana a"h.

Reception hours were from 8:30 until 11:45 at night in his holy home on Ohel Street.

At around 10:30 the Rebbe went down to the halls in his holy home, where the Rebbe read the tnaim of the mechutanim:
- HaRav HaChasid R' Shmuel Hersh Feldman and HaRav HaChasid R' Yosef Leib Braun.
- HaRav HaChasid R' Yechezkel Frenkel and HaRav HaChasid R' Meir Eli Acker.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 10:50 and then continued receiving the public.

After the reception hours, at around 11:50, the Rebbe went over to the Pardes Chaim hall in the Even Tzadik beis medrash for the Vachnacht celebration of his grandson, a newborn son born to HaRav Elchanan Chaim Meisels shlit"a, son of HaRav HaGaon R' Hershel shlit"a, rav of the Beis Nachum Dov beis medrash of our holy kehilla, and son-in-law of the Rebbe's son-in-law, HaGaon HaTzaddik, rav of the Even Tzadik beis medrash, shlit"a, and the grandson of the Av Beis Din of Montreal shlit"a. A pleasant conversation took place, with stories of Sighet. The Rebbe tasted refreshments, fish and kugel, drank lechayim and wished the baal simcha, the grandfathers, the family members and the entire public well.
Afterwards the Rebbe recited Krias Shema and blessed the mothers who had given birth. The Rebbe left the hall at around 12:15.
