This morning a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Shlomo, son of Eli Neustadt (Monsey), at which the Rebbe served as sandek.

During the Torah reading, the Rebbe was called up as Shlishi.
After davening, the Rebbe delivered a shiur on a sugya to the yeshiva students in Maseches Bava Basra, perek Chezkas Habatim, daf 33b, on the sugya of "Nisca d'Rabbi Abba," and, as is customary before leaving for a rest, left a question in the sugya unresolved. Afterward, the Rebbe shlit"a was escorted out with song and music, with "Ki Malachav," in honor of his departure later in the day to New Hampshire for rest.

The Rebbe entered the beis medrash for Maariv at Rabbeinu Tam's time, around 9:47. Upon arriving in the beis medrash, the Rebbe warmly greeted his friend, HaGaon Rabbi, av beis din of Rosh Chochma of Montreal, shlit"a.
