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

In the morning, before Shacharis, the brissim took place.
For the newborn son of R' Mordechai Efraim Fishel Soffer, where the Rebbe was sandek and mohel.
For the newborn son of R' Baruch Siman, where the Rebbe was sandek and mohel.
For the newborn son of R' Hershel Glick, where the Rebbe was sandek.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Beis Medrash HaGadol. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Yoel Gantz.
During the Torah reading, the Rebbe was called up for shlishi. After davening, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in his private room.

At around 8:00 the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

In the evening, the night of the holy hilula of the Rebbe zy"a, founder of the city of Kiryas Joel, the historic holy gathering, the "Assembly of Righteous Women," of the women residents of the city, "Kiryas Melech, Kiryas Joel and its surroundings, may Hashem protect them," took place in the gigantic tent set up in the shul courtyard of the Rebbe's beis medrash, between the Beis Medrash HaGadol and the Mivtzar HaKollelim building. The huge building was filled within a short time with thousands of righteous women, and the organizers had to hurriedly open the adjoining large hall in the Beis Medrash HaGadol building to accommodate close to ten thousand righteous women of the city who all came together to hear the word of Hashem proudly, the call of the hour from the Rebbe of the holy community, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, and at his call they gathered.

At around 9:10 the Rebbe shlit"a entered onto the special platform in the gigantic tent, which was illuminated by the rabbonim and dayanim of our holy kehilla, headed by the HaGaon HaGadol, the Av Beis Din shlit"a.

The speech continued with HaRav R' Berel Taub shlit"a, a gifted speaker, who welcomed the Rebbe of the community, the Rebbe shlit"a.

A holy trembling gripped the assembled as the Rebbe shlit"a began his lengthy, fiery holy words. The Rebbe shlit"a took as his theme the verse "Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth," and explained that by listening to the talk and accepting good resolutions, one merits that tefillos are accepted. With burning words the Rebbe continued, that as we stand on the day of the hilula of the Rebbe zy"a, founder of the city, which is named after him, all residents must remember to walk in his ways, as he wanted people to conduct themselves. With broad explanation he spoke for a lengthy time about the merit of being a Jewish mother and a chassidish woman, the obligation to be Jews who are lechatchilah, and to stay far from the Jewish-gentile street, which includes all clothing, cutting the hair, coloring the face, the length of the dresses, the pockets, etc. He also awakened people regarding the forbidden wigs, the modern head coverings, and the snoods and the like, and called on parents to dress the boys chassidish in all details and fine points, and to be guarded from impure items of any name.
There are two camps among us, a camp of Hashem and a camp of the coarse. To belong to the camp of Hashem one must be a person without compromise! Not to do things that were forbidden among us. One must be sincerely upright inside, be careful with a light matter as with a severe one, as repeated from the holy Tzanzer Rav zy"a and from the holy Kedushas Yom Tov zy"a, who promised salvation and healing to those who take on good resolutions in modesty, and he proclaimed forcefully, "In their merit and on their word it can be promised that there will be salvation for those who take on good resolutions in modesty."
With holy fire he spoke about the prohibition of real-hair wigs, and said, "When a Jew has trouble, he goes up to the holy kever." The Rebbe zy"a demands that we walk in his ways. The Rebbe zy"a called out about hair, "Woe, hair!" For a few hairs, one loses both worlds! The Rebbe z"l was exacting, and he said during his lifetime, "Whoever goes with hair, I will not forgive!" How can anyone not fear his displeasure?
Afterward the Rebbe concluded with abundant blessings.
After these words that hew flames of fire, at around 11:00, HaRav R' Berel Taub shlit"a got up with the resolutions of the assembly.

At around 11:45 the Rebbe shlit"a davened Maariv in his holy home. The Rebbe lit 5 candles and went to the amud in honor of the holy hilula.
