Thursday, Parshas Eikev 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Rebbe entered for Shacharis at around 8:45.
Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, son of R' Anshil Karpen shlit"a (Kiryas Joel).

- Baal Tefillah: R' Anshil Karpen shlit"a.
- Baal Koreh: R' Anshil Karpen shlit"a.
- Kohen: R' Moshe Yaakov Weiss (Lakewood).
- Levi: R' Shmuel Heimlich (Antwerp).
- Shlishi: the bar mitzvah bochur, son of R' Anshil Karpen shlit"a.
- Hagbah: the Rebbe shlit"a.
- Gelilah: R' Chaim Yitzchak Shlomo Bruck (Monsey).

After davening, a lechayim gathering was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in the heichal of the beis medrash. A pleasant conversation unfolded about memories from the early years in America. The Rebbe drank lechayim and wished the bar mitzvah bochur and the entire assembly well.

Afterwards, the Rebbe walked home to his holy residence, and a conversation developed about making the blessing "Oseh Maaseh Bereishis" upon seeing the mountains and the great sea.

At around 1:40, the Rebbe left his holy residence after spending the past four weeks resting, on the way to Mount Washington Regional Airport, where the Rebbe boarded a private plane. The plane took off at around 2:15 and landed at around 3:20 at Stewart Airport, from where the Rebbe traveled about half an hour to Kiryas Joel.

Upon arriving at his holy residence, many talmidei hayeshiva were waiting and welcomed him with song and music, and they all went in to greet him.

In the evening, the Rebbe officiated at kiddushin at the chuppah of the mechutanim:
- R' Moshe Katz shlit"a and R' Moshe Menachem Schlesinger in the halls of Kinor Dovid.
- R' Shlomo Schonbrun and R' Meir Yitzchak Glickman in the halls of Beis Rochel Paradise.

At around 8:40, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy residence at Zanz 109.
Afterwards, there were yechidus hours (zmanei kenisah) until 12:50 at night in his holy residence at Zanz 109.

At around 9:15, the Rebbe went over to the tenaim hall in his holy residence at Ohel 109, where the Rebbe read the tenaim of the mechutanim:
- R' Yoel Moshe Wertzberger and R' Yitzchak son of R' Chaim Pekete.
- R' Yoel son of R' Baruch Rosenberg and R' Yoel son of R' Yisroel Bleich.

During the yechidus hours, a kesivas ha'osiyos (writing of letters) took place for the Sefer Torah being written l'iluy nishmas HaGaon HaTzaddik R' Leibush Teitelbaum zt"l, Av Beis Din of the beis medrash and Kiryas Vayoel Moshe, which will be brought in this coming Sunday, Parshas Re'eh, to Kiryas Vayoel Moshe in Monticello. The Rebbe wrote in several letters and drank lechayim. A pleasant conversation unfolded about the new 'Kiryas Moshe' in Monticello, and the Rebbe warmly wished HaGaon R' Shalom Teitelbaum shlit"a, Av Beis Din of the kehilla, the other participants from the family of the Av Beis Din zt"l, and the administration and askanim of Kiryas Vayoel Moshe well.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 12:50.
