At about 3:30 the Rebbe arrived at the halls of Ginas Esther in Williamsburg to grace the Chumash seudah of nearly three hundred talmidim of our holy mosdos in Williamsburg.

The Rebbe drank a lechayim, wished the entire assembly well, and delivered divrei Torah in honor of the chosson'im of the Chumash, quoting the Chasam Sofer that a beginning is half of everything, and that this is the great joy at the start of learning Chumash, as they will IY"H continue with Chumash Rashi, Gemara with Tosafos, etc., and concluded with his holy blessing.
Afterwards all the children passed by, and the Rebbe distributed a Tehillim to every child; then all the melamdim passed by and the Rebbe wished them his holy blessing. It ended at about 4:30.

Then the signing of the pledge documents took place, where dozens of donors had the opportunity to sign the documents purchasing larger merits in the Beis Rachel building. The Rebbe signed the documents together with each donor individually and imparted his holy blessing; the Rebbe especially wished his holy blessing very warmly to the donor for whom the building is named, the noted philanthropist R' Avrohom Yuda Mandel.

The Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the entire assembly well, and delivered divrei Torah, expressing that through educating upright Jewish daughters one merits the Divine Presence resting; therefore it is a great joy today when a new building is being dedicated for Beis Rachel, which conducts itself according to the tradition we received from our holy Rebbes zy"a and is founded on Torah, fear of Heaven, and modesty, and this will surely bring down all good blessings for the donors. He wished abundant blessings to all the donors. The Rebbe continued, saying that since he is now speaking to baalei batim, this is the place to speak about the idea of 'Torasa Umnaso,' which brings a talmid chacham into a business to learn every day for a few minutes with each worker. He strongly encouraged the idea and said that it brings a spirit of Torah into the work, and not only does it not cause people to work less, but on the contrary, it causes the workers to work better during the remaining hours. He concluded with his holy blessing.
It ended at about 6:20; on the way out the Rebbe warmly wished well to the mosdos administration and to all the askanim.

The Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the entire assembly well, and delivered divrei Torah, expressing the joy that four hundred members of our holy kehilla, residents of Monsey, are completing Maseches Shabbos. It is clear that it has changed those who learned it and reviewed it; one becomes a piece of Torah. The Rebbe strengthened the participants of the siyum to be able to continue with Maseches Eruvin and afterwards until the end of Shas, and concluded with abundant blessings.

On the way out the Rebbe gave a gift, a leather-bound Gemara Maseches Eruvin, to the noted philanthropist R' Chaim Lebowitz of Williamsburg, one of the major patrons of the chaburah in Monsey.

Several other chassidim also took upon themselves large sums for our holy mosdos, and altogether nearly half a million dollars came in. The Rebbe signed the documents together with the donor, drank a lechayim with the mosdos administration, and imparted his holy blessing.

Then the Rebbe delivered divrei Torah on the verse "Ki chol ha'eidah kulam kedoshim" and expressed that if one is careful to speak only truth, an angel is created that helps him overcome the yetzer hara, which tries to portray aveiros as mitzvos. Likewise, Torah study illuminates the eyes and lights them up to be able to see what is a mitzvah and what is an aveirah. The Rebbe praised the chassidim, residents of Kiryas Tash, noting that many chassidim have now merited to complete Maseches Shabbos under the framework of the Toraschu Shaashuai chaburah of our holy kehilla. He elaborated in praise of Kiryas Tash, "Ki chol ha'eidah kulam kedoshim," a distinguished and upright town founded by the Tash Rebbe zt"l, who established Torah there with mesirus nefesh, and which is now led under the banner and guidance of the Tash Rebbe shlit"a.

He elaborated in praise of our holy kehilla in Montreal in general, and especially the kollel in Montreal, where nearly a hundred young married men sit, toil, and grow in Torah. He continued with guidance for the kollel men, especially regarding rising early to learn before davening, learning continuously without interruption, with depth and understanding, understanding what one learns, reviewing the material and being tested, learning Torah in purity, going to the mikvah every day, etc. Likewise, the conduct of a kollel young man must be recognizable, not only when he sits in the beis medrash and in kollel, but his entire conduct from morning till evening, "when you sit in your home and when you walk on the way"; in davening, one must daven with measured calm so that it is recognizable that this is a ben Torah davening. In particular, the Rebbe urged them to stand guard over modesty in the home, in accordance with the instructions of our holy Rebbe zy"a, and concluded with his holy blessing. It ended at about 6:30.

After a few minutes the Rebbe entered for Mincha in the main sanctuary of the beis medrash.
Before Mincha, HaGaon Rabbi Yochanan Wasner shlit"a, Rav Av Beis Din of Skvira, came to greet the Rebbe, and a pleasant conversation ensued, during which HaGaon Rabbi Yochanan shlit"a presented the Rebbe shlit"a with the new volume of his sefer Chayei HaLevi.

The Rebbe elaborated in praise of our holy mosdos in Montreal, noting that in the short time that the Talmud Torah has been open, everyone has seen that it is a distinguished and holy Talmud Torah. He also quoted from the Eitz Chaim that when a Jew gives money to tzedakah, he receives the money back from Hashem, and that money is surely pure, upright money. Then the Rebbe encouraged the public to help the holy mosdos, and concluded with abundant blessings for all the donors.

Then the signing of pledge documents took place, where nearly fifty chassidim took upon themselves eighteen thousand dollars and more for the mosdos. The Rebbe signed the documents together with each one individually and warmly wished his holy blessing.

Then the Rebbe shlit"a was presented with a "minchas bikkurim" of over five thousand consecutive hours that the bochurim learned as preparation for the visit during the past weeks.
The Rebbe delivered divrei Torah and expressed that when one conducts himself with the middah of chassidus, lifnim mishuras hadin, Hashem also treats him lifnim mishuras hadin and fulfills the mitzvah of perikah u'te'inah, helping the person overcome his yetzer hara, even though Hashem is "an elder and it is not befitting his honor." Likewise, there is a halacha regarding perikah u'te'inah that it must be "its owner with him," and only if the other also helps does one need to help him. He urged the bochurim to conduct themselves as chassidic bochurim: to go to the mikvah, to sway during davening, to toil in Torah, to understand what they learn, to understand a kashya and the teretz and the differences between one teretz and another. He urged them to rise early to learn before davening, to daven from beginning to end, from Brachos until Aleinu, and to guard their eyes when walking in the street, and concluded with his holy blessing to the bochurim and the rebbeim of the yeshiva.

The Rebbe drank a lechayim, wished well to the entire assembly, and especially to the noted philanthropist R' Moshe Goldstein of Kiryas Joel, one of the major donors of the new building.
The Rebbe delivered divrei Torah in honor of the chosson'im of the Chumash and expressed the joy of the beginning of Torah study, as the Chasam Sofer says that a beginning is half of everything, and this is the joy at a Chumash seudah. Likewise it is a great joy for the mosdos, and the event is also a beginning for the Talmud Torah, where we hope b'ezras Hashem to educate thousands of children over the years to Torah and fear of Heaven, and it is a merit for the parents to be among the first of the holy mosdos.

Then the Rebbe distributed a gift to the leading askanim of our holy kehilla, among others to R' Avrohom Meir Wertzberger — the driving force of our holy kehilla and mosdos; R' Yitzchak Schwartz — shamash; R' Yaakov Yoshe Palatchek — administrator of our holy mosdos; R' Mendel Wolf Stern — one of the leading askanim of our holy kehilla; R' Akiva Pesach Glick — chairman of the Association of Avreichim.

For bentching the Rebbe honored the noted philanthropist R' Moshe Goldstein. It ended at about 10:40 and the Rebbe shlit"a was escorted out with song and music. The Rebbe set out on the way to the airport, where the Rebbe davened Maariv.

After Maariv the Rebbe took leave of the leaders and prominent members of our holy kehilla and the Rebbe warmly wished his holy blessing.

At about 11:30 the Rebbe's private plane took off on the way home, and at about 12:30 the plane landed at Newark Airport, and after a short time the Rebbe traveled home to his holy residence in Kiryas Joel, where the Rebbe was awaited by many chassidim and talmidim of the mesivta who came to greet the Rebbe shlit"a.
