Sounds of Joy and Salvation in the Tents of the Righteous

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in our Beis Medrash Beirach Moshe in Kiryas Joel on the occasion of the simcha of the bris milah of his grandson, the newborn son of his grandson HaRav Yehoshua Mordechai Elazar Labin, son-in-law of the Chodosh Ben, HaGaon Rabbi of the Beis Medrash Beirach Moshe – Vayoel Moshe shlit"a.

Before davening, the Rebbe shlit"a put tefillin on the following bar mitzvah bochurim:
The bochur Moshe Tzvi Klein.
The bochur Elchanan Chaim Tzvi Mittelman.

After davening, the simcha of the bris milah took place in the heichal of the beis medrash. The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a was honored with sandekaus. The grandfather, HaGaon R' Baruch Teitelbaum shlit"a, served as mohel. The father's father-in-law, HaRav Yaakov Yitzchak Labin shlit"a, was honored with the standing sandekaus.

The Rebbe shlit"a honored the grandfather, the Zidichoiv-Chardim Rebbe shlit"a, with the blessings. The child was named in Yisroel Chanani Yom Tov Lipa, after his great-grandfather HaGaon R' Lipa Teitelbaum zt"l of Valova.

After the bris milah, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim.

At around 11:45, the seudas bris took place in the heichal of Beis Medrash Beirach Moshe. Words of Torah in honor of the simcha were delivered by the father of the baby, HaRav Yehoshua Mordechai Elazar shlit"a, and by the grandfather, the Zidichoiv-Chardim Rebbe shlit"a.

The Rebbe's grandson, HaRav Yechezkel Teitelbaum shlit"a, was honored with Yom Libeshah.

The Rebbe shlit"a then delivered holy words. The Rebbe built on the verse "Behold, I stand by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water," and explained that through Eliyahu HaNavi coming to a bris, Hashem forgives sins, and one can merit understanding of the Torah. The Rebbe concluded with blessings for the father of the baby, the grandfathers, and the entire gathering.

A longer, pleasant conversation also took place about the customs of saying Tachanun, and about the sefarim of the holy Divrei Chaim zy"a and the holy Shinover Rav zy"a.

At around 6:00, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

In the evening, there were times for entering the inner sanctum from 8:00 until 12:00.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim at the tenaim held in the holy home of the Rebbe's father-in-law zy"a, at the tenaim of the mechutanim R' Yisroel Elimelech Weissman and R' Yoel Weiss.
