Thursday, Parshas Haazinu — Selichos 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

At 5:45 the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a entered the Beis Medrash HaGadol for the recital of Selichos, with R' Elimelech Shimshon Schwartz leading the davening. They concluded at around 6:25, and the Rebbe returned to his holy home.

Before davening, a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Yoshe Gefen, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Beis Medrash HaGadol. The Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- the bochur Yoel, son of R' Baruch Yitzchak Weiss.
- the bochur Lipa Mendelovitch.
During the Torah reading the Rebbe was called up as Shlishi. After davening the shofar was blown and fifteen chapters of Tehillim were recited, as is customary in the month of Elul.

After davening, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Rebbe's private room.

Yechidus hours in Kiryas Joel were from 6:45 until 10:50 at night, in his holy home on Ohel Court.

The Rebbe davened Mincha at around 7:45 and Maariv at around 10:50.

During the yechidus hours, a meeting was held in Kiryas Joel together with the board and administration of the 'Ezer Health Center,' where they discussed at length many details of how to expand and improve the health center for the benefit of the thousands of residents of Kiryas Joel. On this occasion the Rebbe appointed new board members to assist the current board: R' Yitzchak Shlomo Polatschek, R' Eliezer Dovid Itzkowitz, and R' Shalom Yitzchak Herskowitz.
The Rebbe pointed out that they are all longtime askanim and will be able to use their expertise to help the health center to the satisfaction of the thousands of residents of the town. He warmly wished his holy blessing to the new board members and to the current board members.
