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

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place in the Heichal of Mivtzar HaKollelim for the newborn son of HaGaon R' Wolf Aharon Teller shlit"a, director of the Kollel, at which the Rebbe served as sandek.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal of the Mesivta, Beirach Moshe branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim.
The bochur Yisroel Schiff.
The bochur Yoel Yosef Markovitch.
The bochur Dovid Mizrachi.
During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went to the hagbah. After davening, the Rebbe recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 12, verse 7. Afterwards a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in his private room.

In the evening, the Rebbe officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the following mechutanim: R' Nata Mordechai Kaufman - R' Uri Yehuda Kaufman, at Kinor David Hall.
R' Yuda Rabi - R' Aharon Weiss, at Bais Rochel Paradise Hall.

After the chuppos, the Rebbe went to affix a mezuzah at the new home of the yungerman R' Moshe Shmuel son of R' Berish Stein in the Highland Mills neighborhood in Gilalot, Kiryas Joel. The Rebbe affixed the mezuzah and then drank a lechayim. Also present was HaGaon R' Shlomo Yosef Josefovitz shlit"a, rav of the Woodbury Junction neighborhood. They discussed the expansion of the borders of holiness in the area with new residents, and the Rebbe bestowed his holy blessings.

During the times for entering, askanim of our holy kehilla from Linden, New Jersey, entered the Rebbe's room regarding the opening of our holy mosdos in the city of Linden in the coming school year, b'ezras Hashem. The askanim conveyed greetings from the new settlement and from the members of the kehilla who have settled there, and also regarding the new property that was purchased, where they hope to build a magnificent new beis medrash soon for the members of the kehilla. Afterwards, all the plans for opening our holy mosdos were reviewed, as they hope IY"H to open this coming winter a talmud torah and a Bais Rochel for the first three grades. The Rebbe took an interest in all the details and in who will be responsible, both materially and spiritually, greatly encouraged the askanim, and bestowed blessings from his holy lips.

At around 11:30, the Rebbe went to the home of R' Moshe Goldstein, where a siyum of the writing of the letters took place for the Sefer Torah being written by his son-in-law R' Henoch Krausz, which will be completed this Shabbos.

Afterwards the Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessings.

At around 12:00, the Rebbe returned to his holy home and continued receiving the public.
