Monday, Parshas Toldos — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Rebbe davened Shacharis at Yeshiva Gedolah, branch of Dvar Yoel. Before davening, the Rebbe put on tefillin for the bar mitzvah bochurim.
- Son of the honorable R' Yosef Shmuel Rotenberg shlit"a - mohel.
- Bochur Yishai Ber Levey.
- Bochur Yoel, son of bochur Chaim Eli Zweibel.

During the Torah reading, the Rebbe performed hagbah, and after davening, he taught the daily Tehilim lesson, chapter 33, verse 18. Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in his private room.

In the afternoon, the Rebbe went up to Yeshiva, branch of Birkas Moshe, where the Rebbe learned with a chavrusa of yeshiva students in his private room. At around 5:20, the Rebbe davened Mincha in the yeshiva, and Maariv at around 6:00.

In the evening, the honorable R' Yoel Teitelbaum shlit"a, son-in-law of the Gaon Av Beis Din of Montreal shlit"a, came to receive the Rebbe's blessing in honor of his son's upcoming wedding, which will take place on Wednesday, Parshas Toldos, in Williamsburg. A beautiful conversation took place, and the Rebbe bestowed upon him a blessing.

The hours for receiving the public were from 8:00 to 9:40 at night at his holy home on Ihel Street.

At around 8:40, the Rebbe went down to the halls at his holy home, where the Rebbe read the conditions of the mechutanim.
- The honorable R' Moshe Chaim Kahn and the honorable R' Mordechai Yaakov Pelzberg.
- The honorable R' Shmuel Feuerstein and the honorable R' Shmuel Hersh Feldman.

After the hours for receiving the public, at around 9:50, the Rebbe moved to the halls of Ginas Klein, where the completion of Maseches Bava Kama and the beginning of Maseches Bava Metzia took place, attended by thousands of members of the Yesodei Hatorah group. R' Yechzekel Gelbstein shlit"a continued with his drasha in honor of his father-in-law, the Rav and Nagid, R' Akiva Hersh Klein, patron of the group in Kiryas Joel.
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and blessed the Rav and Nagid, R' Akiva Hersh, and the entire community.

The Rebbe expounded on the verse "And G-d will give you the dew of the heavens," which the Midrash explains as referring to the blessings for Torah study, and the blessing was "May He give and return and give," so that one may repeat their studies, Mikra, Mishna, and Gemara. In the Sifri it is written that when one repeats their studies, they receive reward in this world, and if one repeats their studies, they merit all the blessings.
The Rebbe expressed the great joy of the thousands of people from all over the world who completed Maseches Bava Kama, with the participation of the elderly and the young, and said that the group was founded on Lag Ba'Omer 5766 and has already completed several masechtos of the Shas, and blessed them that they should be able to complete Maseches Bava Metzia and subsequent masechtos until they complete the entire Shas. He also emphasized the importance of every page of Gemara, every hour of Torah study, which, if one is careful about it, has great significance.
The Rebbe spoke in praise of the activists and administration of the group, who help thousands of people study Torah, and especially the patron of the group, the Rav and Nagid, R' Akiva Hersh Klein, who has taken upon himself for many years to pay for the tests in Kiryas Joel and is willing to pay for new students, and blessed him with blessings for longevity.

They sang songs of Torah study with great enthusiasm, and then the Rebbe made the completion of Maseches Bava Kama and began Maseches Bava Metzia, and afterwards said Kaddish. They then exited into the streets with fiery dances in honor of the Torah for an extended period.
With the bentsching, the honorable R' Nach Gafner was honored. They finished at around 11:00.
