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.
A meeting was also held in his private room with the administrators of the mesivta, at which various details regarding the coming school year, IY"H, were discussed, and the Rebbe determined that they should learn Maseches Kesubos.

After Shacharis, the Rebbe paid a shiva call to the Landau family, who are sitting shiva for their brother, R' Hershel Landau a"h.

At around 8:30, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home and then continued receiving the public.

At around 12:00, the Rachmistrivka Rebbe shlit"a of Boro Park came for a visit to receive the Rebbe's blessing on the occasion of the wedding of his grandson, mazel tov, this coming Sunday, Parshas Ki Savo, in Kiryas Joel. A pleasant conversation ensued about stories of tzaddikim of the Chernobyl dynasty. The Rebbe honored him with a lechayim, bestowed his holy blessing upon him, and accompanied him out to the street.

Afterwards, the directors of Kollel Shomrei HaChomos entered for a private audience, led by the Tolchava Rebbe shlit"a, one of the heads of the kollel's administration, to receive the Rebbe's blessing for the campaign currently taking place in Kiryas Joel ahead of the coming Yamim Tovim, IY"H. They gave a report on the kollel's recent activities, and the Rebbe bestowed his holy blessing.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 12:50 and then continued receiving the public.

After the private audiences, at around 1:45, the Rebbe went to the Vachnacht celebration for the newborn son of his grandson, HaRav Meir Eliezer Meisels shlit"a, son-in-law of the Rav of Beis Medrash Yismach Moshe shlit"a, at the home of his father in the Beirach Moshe neighborhood. A conversation took place about the bitter draft decrees hanging over the thousands of bochurim and yungeleit in Eretz Yisroel, where, sadly, bochurim are being arrested daily. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessings. Afterwards, the Rebbe recited Krias Shema as is customary. The gathering ended at around 2:05.
