Wednesday, Beha"b, 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Yeshiva Gedolah, the Yoel Moshe branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- the bochur Dovid Mittelman
- the bochur Yeshaya Sachs
Afterwards, the Rebbe lit 5 candles in honor of the holy hilula of the holy Rebbe R' Menachem Mendel of Rimanov zy"a.

After davening, the Rebbe recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 30, verse 1. Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in his private room.

In the afternoon, the Rebbe went up to the Divrei Yoel branch of the yeshiva, where the Rebbe learned with a chavrusa from among the yeshiva's talmidim in his private room. At around 6:30 the Rebbe davened Mincha in the yeshiva; before Mincha, the Rebbe lit candles in honor of the holy hilula.

The reception hours at the Kiryat Joel residence were from 8:20 until 12:20 at night, at his holy home on Uhel Court.

During the reception hours, the letters ceremony took place for the Sefer Torah being written by R' Eliyahu Steinmetz, which will be brought into the Beis Medrash HaGadol on Yom Tov of Shavuos. The Rebbe wrote in several letters, drank a lechayim, and bestowed his holy blessing.

At around 10:10 the Rebbe went down to the halls in his holy home, where the Rebbe read the tenaim of the mechutanim R' Aharon Yosef Berger and R' Avrohom Shmuel Gandel.

Afterwards the Rebbe went over to the halls of Beis Rachel Paradise, where an event, "Legion of the King," was held for the benefit of Mosdos Yatev Lev, for the hundreds of young avreichim who have married in the last five years.
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and gave blessings to the entire assembly, and delivered words of Torah on the verse "Im bechukosai teileichu v'es mitzvosai tishmeru," whose initials spell "avos" (fathers), and brought out that Mosdos Yatev Lev is the father of all our mosdos. The holy Rebbe zy"a founded Mosdos Yatev Lev immediately after the war, and came to America only because of the debts of Mosdos Yatev Lev, and all his days he worried about it. The Rebbe praised our holy mosdos in Yerushalayim, Bnei Brak and Beit Shemesh, and urged all the young men to take upon themselves to give or raise at least a thousand dollars a year. It must be the father of all tzedakos! And it is a disgrace that Mosdos Yatev Lev has to struggle to cover its budget. He concluded with his holy blessing.

Afterwards there was an opportunity for all the young men to go over and personally hand their pledge forms to the Rebbe shlit"a, and the Rebbe gave his holy blessing to each one individually.

At around 10:50 the Rebbe left the hall and returned to his holy home and continued with the reception hours.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 12:20 and counted Sefira before the amud.

After Maariv, one of the seekers of Hashem shlit"a from Eretz Yisroel entered the reception, and the Rebbe bestowed upon him his holy blessing.
