Friday, Erev Shabbos Parshas Shoftim

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Hershel Fried, at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the hall of the Yeshiva Ketana, Divrei Chaim branch, under the direction of HaGaon Rabbi Shlomo Elimelech Stein shlit"a, in the Goldstein building on Rimanov Street.
Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the following bar mitzvah bochurim:
The bochur Avrohom Shaul Yaakov Friedman.
The bochur Yuda Asher Roth.
The Rebbe shlit"a lit 5 candles and led the davening as chazan on the occasion of the holy hilula of his grandfather, the holy HaGaon, Maran the Yitav Lev zy"a, and after davening the shofar was blown.

Afterwards a lechayim gathering took place in the hall of the beis medrash. Songs of awakening were sung, and the bochur Yisroel son of R' Yoel Palachek made a siyum on Maseches Yoma, and the Rebbe recited Kaddish. The Rebbe drank a lechayim, extended blessings to the rebbeim of the yeshiva and all the bochurim, and delivered brief words of Torah on the occasion of the end of the zman.

Afterwards the Rebbe went down to the students of grades 3, 4 and 5 of the branch of Rabbi Yoel Halpert shlit"a, where a lechayim gathering took place. The children sang rhymed verses, and the Rebbe spoke brief words of blessing to the children, and then distributed shirayim to several grandchildren.
