=Part 2=

And on the holy day of Shabbos

Specially printed siddurim, a booklet of the gilyonos, and a special edition of the "Kol HaSisachdusenu" editorial staff's Gilyon Migdal were distributed in honor of the great Shabbos.

On Shabbos morning before davening, HaGaon HaTzaddik Av Beis Din and Rosh Mesivta of our kehilla in Monsey shlit"a delivered a splendid address in honor of the occasion, and at around 9:30 the Rebbe shlit"a entered for Shacharis.

Berachos: HaRav R' Zalman Teitelbaum shlit"a. Pesukei D'zimra: the chazzan, HaGaon HaTzaddik R' Baruch T"B shlit"a, Rav of Beis Medrash Beirach Moshe.

"Hashem Melech," Hallel HaGadol, Shirah and "Hakol Yoducha" were recited verse by verse, as is the Sighet custom.

The Rebbe shlit"a went up to lead Shacharis.

After Shacharis, the moving ceremony of the celebration of the hachnasas sefer Torah took place, a ceremony that proclaimed "The Eternal One of Israel does not lie," and "It shall not be forgotten from the mouth of his seed."

The Rebbe shlit"a danced with the Torah for an extended time in a state of holy emotion, like on Simchas Torah during the Hakafos, and afterward recited "LeDavid Mizmor" as is customary.

Then all the aliyos and honors were sold, including the Shishi aliyah in honor of the Rebbe shlit"a, each of which sold for astronomical sums.
