The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Yoel Moshe branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:

After davening, the Rebbe said over the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 13, verse 6. Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the beis medrash hall.

In the afternoon, the Rebbe went up to the Heichal HaYeshiva, Beirach Moshe branch, where the Rebbe learned with a chavrusa from among the talmidim of the yeshiva in his private room.

At around 7:00, the Rebbe went over to the Yeshiva Ketana, Yitav Panim branch, under the administration of HaRav R' Chaim Leib Silberstein shlit"a, where a siyum on the writing of a Sefer Torah took place. The Sefer Torah is being written by R' Mendel Friedman, the sofer, and his sons, in memory of his son the bochur Aharon Friedman a"h, together with the talmidim of the yeshiva, l'iluy nishmas the distinguished talmid, one of the outstanding students of the yeshiva. It is being brought in today, Thursday, to the yeshiva's hall. Songs of inspiration and attachment to Torah were sung, and R' Mordechai Dovid Oestreicher spoke, with rhymed verses in honor of the occasion and words of appreciation for the departed bochur Aharon a"h. Afterwards, the menahel shlit"a presented the Rebbe with a book containing the names of the talmidim of the yeshiva who learned ten thousand hours as preparation for the hachnasas Sefer Torah. The Rebbe wrote in the final letters while the songs of inspiration continued.
Afterwards, the Rebbe drank l'chaim and warmly wished the family, the rebbeim of the yeshiva and all the talmidim well, and delivered a few brief words of Torah.
After the words of Torah, the Rebbe performed hagbah and danced with the open Sefer Torah. The father, R' Mendel, was honored with gelilah. Then the Rebbe broke into a fiery dance with the Sefer Torah, dancing with great fervor, and honored the father, the grandfathers, the family and the rebbeim of the yeshiva to dance. It concluded at around 8:00.

In the evening, at around 8:10, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home on Ohel Street. Afterwards, there were times of entry to the Rebbe until 12:10 at night.

During the entry times, the siyum of the writing of the letters took place for the Sefer Torah being written by R' Eliezer Mordechai Rosenthal of Lakewood. The Rebbe wrote in the letters and bestowed from his holy blessings.

Also, HaGaon HaTzaddik R' Yitzchak Elazar Moskovits shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Shatz Monsey and president of the Noam Elimelech institutions in Bnei Brak, came for a visit. A warm conversation developed about the chinuch institutions in Eretz Yisroel, especially the Talmud Torah Noam Elimelech, which the Rav shlit"a carries. The Rav shlit"a praised the great generosity received from the residents of Kiryas Joel. The Rebbe honored him with a lechayim, bestowed from his holy blessings, gave him as a gift the sefer Lev Aharon on the Torah, and escorted him out.
