Sunday, Parshas Pinchas — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, brissen took place.
- For the newborn son of R' Yoel the son of R' Yirmiyahu Bittman, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.
- For the newborn son of R' Yoel Landau (Williamsburg), where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Yeshiva Gedolah, Kedushas Yoel branch. Before the davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim.
- The son of HaRav HaGaon R' Shmuel Lev shlit"a, moreh tzedek of our kehilla in London.
- The son of Rabbi Moshe Yosef Ashkenazi shlit"a.
- The bochur Mordechai Dov Neuhauser.
- The bochur Yoel, son of R' Shlomo Katz.

After davening, the Rebbe learned the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 32, verse 1. Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in his private room.

At about 1:50, the Rebbe traveled to Monsey for the Chumash seudah of the talmidim of the mosdos, which took place in the hall of the Beis Rachel building, "Binyan Dovid Neustadt" in Monsey. The Rebbe arrived at about 2:30 and greeted the Spinka Rebbe shlit"a, the HaGaon HaTzaddik Av Beis Din of Monsey shlit"a, and the other rabbonim seated at the head. The children sang several songs and rhymes in honor of the occasion, led by the principal, Rabbi Yisroel Meir Friedman shlit"a. Afterwards, the Rebbe distributed a Tehillim to all the children.
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and gave blessings to the entire assembly. He delivered words of Torah and expressed the joy of so many children beginning to learn the Written Torah, who will, b'ezras Hashem, continue with the Oral Torah. He continued in praise of our kehilla and our holy mosdos in Monsey, and urged them to stand guard, not to accept every child into the mosdos but only a child from a fine and chassidic home, as is fitting, and to maintain a strong wall both between them and the gentile street and between them and the other Jewish street. He concluded with his holy blessing.

Afterwards, the Rebbe crossed over to the adjacent Beis Rachel building, "Binyan Eli Neustadt," where the Rebbe distributed coins to the older classes of our holy mosdos who had brought in larger sums for the benefit of the mosdos. On this occasion, R' Shmuel Zanvil Wertheimer, director of the mosdos, presented a report to the Rebbe shlit"a about the further plans to expand the mosdos by building another building for Beis Rachel and also enlarging the existing buildings. The Rebbe bestowed his holy blessing upon the mosdos' administration.

In the evening, the Rebbe officiated at kiddushin at the chuppah of the mechutanim.
- Rabbi Yoshe Zalman Wertzberger shlit"a and R' Yitzchak Friedman, in the halls of Kinor Dovid.
- R' Meir Yehuda Perlman and R' Shaul Brach, in the halls of Beis Rachel Paradise.
- R' Lipa Berish Weinberger and R' Yisroel Neiman, in the halls of Ginas Klein.

At about 8:00, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his home on Ahel Court.

Afterwards, there were yechidus hours in the Rebbe's home until 12:30 at night.

During the yechidus hours, HaGaon HaTzaddik R' Alexander Asher Margulies shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Ohel Moshe, Vienna, Austria, paid a visit to the Rebbe. A pleasant conversation ensued and the Rebbe bestowed his blessing upon him, and wished mazel tov to his son Rabbi Berel shlit"a, chairman of the Kiryas Joel Committee for the Expansion of the City's Borders, on the engagement of his son, and to his son Rabbi Nosson Karpel shlit"a on the marriage of his daughter.

At about 9:45, the Rebbe went down to the halls in his home, where the Rebbe read the tenaim of the mechutanim:
- R' Betzalel Chaim Bash and R' Avrohom Yehuda Weinfeld.
- R' Boruch Strulowitz and R' Yoel Goldberg.
- R' Daniel Avrohom Nivach and R' Eli Daniel Abud.

Also entering for yechidus were HaGaon R' Shalom Teitelbaum shlit"a, dayan and moreh tzedek of Kiryat Vayoel Moshe in Monticello, together with R' Chaim Hersh Schwartz, director of the Kiryah, to receive the Rebbe's blessing for the upcoming summer season, b'ezras Hashem, and the Rebbe blessed them.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at about 12:30.
