The Rebbe entered for Mincha at around 8:05.

After Mincha, the Rebbe went up to the place for the holy table and Neilas HaChag. Yom Tov niggunim were sung; the shamash, R' Yoel Kaufman, poured l'chaim for the Rebbe, and the Rebbe wished l'chaim to the Chevra Kadisha and to the entire congregation.
Fruits and a Pesach tart were brought in, brought by R' Shalom Weiss, and the Rebbe tasted and distributed shirayim. They continued with Yom Tov niggunim and niggunim of longing for the coming of Moshiach.

After the time, the Rebbe said "Baruch HaMavdil" and addressed the congregation through the microphone. The Rebbe said Torah on the verse "How beautiful are your steps in sandals," and explained that when the Beis Hamikdash stood, all Jews were elevated, even those on a lowly level, at the level of "feet." In our times too, after such an uplifting Yom Tov with great preparation beforehand, every Jew must know that even if he is a weak Jew at the level of "feet," he has been sanctified and elevated to a higher level through the holiness of the mitzvos of the Yom Tov that he fulfilled. This has sanctified him; he is no longer the same as before Yom Tov, and he takes this holiness along with him for the entire year.
The Rebbe continued with additional explanations and several interpretations: in the merit that Avraham Avinu asked no questions at the Akeidah, Hashem asked no questions at the splitting of the Yam Suf. The same is true in our times: Hashem asks no questions and bestows all good, especially parnassah and shidduchim, which are as difficult as the splitting of the Yam Suf. When Jewish children say the Shirah, the Rebbe of Lublin zy"a says that Moshe, Aharon and Miriam come down and say it together with the Jewish children. How fortunate and beautiful this is — "Ashreinu umah tov chelkeinu" — Moshe, Aharon and Miriam were present in the beis medrash at the Shirah, and when they are present, they bring down all the salvations that each person needs. The Rebbe concluded with abundant blessings and all the best for the entire congregation.

Afterwards the Rebbe stood up and danced "Chasal Siddur Pesach" with deveikus and exaltation for an extended time, and then recited "L'shanah Haba'ah B'Yerushalayim" three times with fiery enthusiasm.

- Maariv for Motzei Yom Tov: the Rebbe's son-in-law, the Gaon HaTzaddik, rav of the Yismach Moshe beis medrash shlit"a.
After Havdalah, the Rebbe wished the entire congregation a good week and a healthy summer. They finished at around 10:00.
