For the son born to R' Binyomin Eliezer Franzoys, where the Rebbe was sandek.
For the son born to R' Avrohom Yoshe Teller, where the Rebbe was sandek.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Kedushas Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
The bochur Gershon Mendel Feldman.
The bochur Yoel Wertzberger.

The bochur Chaim Tzvi Roth.

After davening, the Rebbe recited the Tehillim shiur, on chapter 12, verse 1. Afterwards a lechayim took place with the bar mitzvah bochurim in his private room.

During the morning hours, HaGaon Rabbi Yisroel Yitzchak Mendelsohn shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Kommemiyus Yerushalayim, who is a guest in Kiryas Joel to participate in the Hramas Keren HaTorah gathering for the rabbonim and learners of the Mivtzar HaKollelim in the city, came for a visit to the Rebbe's holy home. A splendid conversation developed in words of Torah and Chassidus. He also conveyed greetings from our holy mosdos in Beit Shemesh, where he recently listened in on the Talmud Torah. The Rebbe honored him with a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessings.

At around 2:10 the Rebbe arrived at the main beis medrash for the 'gathering marking the opening of the summer zman and the Hramas Keren HaTorah' for the eight hundred rabbonim and learners of the Mivtzar HaKollelim. HaGaon HaTzaddik, Av Beis Din of Kommemiyus Yerushalayim shlit"a, continued with his address. Afterwards the Rebbe delivered lengthy holy words. He first welcomed the distinguished guest, the Kommemiyus Rav shlit"a, and then delivered lengthy words of drush and pilpul on Pesach Sheni. He highlighted the importance of the kollel avreichim and the fruits that have already come out of the kollel, noting that it protects the entire city and is a shield for the whole city. The Rebbe concluded with words of blessing for the kollel's administration, who exert themselves to attend to the kollel men, especially with the recent increase of the stipend for the men, and concluded with his holy blessings. It ended at around 3:00.

In the afternoon at around 5:40, the Rebbe went over to Kinor David Hall, where the Rebbe held his pure tish in honor of Pesach Sheni together with the talmidim of the Yeshiva Ketana, Heichal HaTorah branch, of our holy mosdos in Williamsburg, under the direction of HaRav R' Yuda Stolzenberg shlit"a. The Rebbe washed and ate challah and matzah, and the foods were served as on Yom Tov. During the tish, melodies of Pesach and Yom Tov were sung. The Rebbe delivered holy words in drush and pilpul in honor of the day, and words of guidance for the bochurim, and concluded with his holy blessings.

Afterwards, matzah with cream was served, and all the participants went over to take shirayim. For Birkas HaMazon the Rebbe honored the director, HaRav R' Yuda Stolzenberg shlit"a. It ended at around 7:20.
