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

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Yeshiva Gedolah, Branch Divrei Yoel. During the Torah reading, the Rebbe received the third aliyah. After davening, the Rebbe learned the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 31, verse 2.

In his private room, the Rebbe shlit"a put on for the first time the holy tefillin of Rabbeinu Tam which had belonged to his grandfather, the Kedushas Yom Tov zy"a, and after him to the holy Rebbe, the Divrei Yoel zy"a, and after him to his great father, the holy Rebbe, the Beirach Moshe zy"a, and which fell to the Rebbe shlit"a in his lot at the time of the division of the inheritance.

In the afternoon hours, the mashgichim, HaGaon Rabbi Hersh Leib Bernstein shlit"a, chairman of the Vaad HaKashrus of Kiryas Joel and dayan and moreh d'asra of Beis Medrash Beis Menachem Tzvi of our kehilla in Williamsburg, and HaGaon Rabbi Yoel Yitzchak Stern shlit"a, dayan at Beis Medrash Dinov in Kiryas Joel, connected by phone with the Rebbe. They had traveled specially on a holy mission to Yuma, Arizona, together with the wheat expert HaGaon Rabbi Yitzchak Yaakov Keim shlit"a, who is appointed over the supervision of the wheat on behalf of our holy kehilla, and the managers of the bakery of Kiryas Joel and Williamsburg. On the occasion of the first "wheat harvest" for the matzah production under the auspices of our holy kehilla for the Yom Tov of Pesach 5787, b'ezras Hashem, the dayanim and managers gave a report from the field as they prepared to begin cutting the wheat in the coming minutes. The Rebbe gave several instructions and guidance, and imparted his holy blessing.

In the afternoon, the Rebbe went up to the Yeshiva, Branch Divrei Yoel, where the Rebbe learned with a chavrusa from among the talmidim of the yeshiva in his private room.

A group of learners from the Mivtzar Kollel entered the yeshiva for a private audience. They are currently engaged in the halachos of treifos, and they brought a fowl that had been slaughtered today in the mehudar slaughterhouse and had three legs. A fine discussion in the halachos of treifos developed, and the Rebbe discussed several questions that arise from time to time, and wished the kollel members his holy blessing.
Around 6:00 the Rebbe davened Mincha in the yeshiva.

Private audience hours were held from 8:30 until 11:30 at night at his holy residence on Ohel Court.

During the audience hours, HaGaon Rabbi Moshe Brandsdorfer shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Heichal Horaah in Yerushalayim, the holy city, came for a private visit. A fine discussion ensued in halacha and on the situation of the decree of the draft in Eretz Yisroel, and the Rebbe imparted his holy blessing to him.

Around 9:10 the Rebbe went down to the halls of his holy residence, where the Rebbe read the tenaim of the mechutanim, R' Gedalya son of R' Boruch Appel and R' Yehuda Leib son of R' Avrohom Weiss.

There was also a writing of the letters for the Sefer Torah being written by R' Eizik Lipa son of R' Shmuel Weider, which will be brought in this coming Sunday, Parshas Korach, to Beis Medrash Ohr LaShamayim. The Rebbe wrote in several letters, drank a lechayim, and imparted his holy blessing.
