"And I Shall Return in Peace to My Father's House"

With excitement, joy and deep awe, the joyous news was received among the members of the community and the talmidim and chassidim of Satmar everywhere: in the past few days it was finalized, b'sha'a tova u'metzuyeres, that this coming Shabbos, Parshas Toldos 5782, IY"H, the long-awaited, historic Shabbos in the ancestral city of Sighet will take place, under the shadow of the holy faith of the continuer of the holy lineage of the House of Etz HaTemarim, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a.

"May He remember us with mercy and bless them upon their coming to my home"
This elevated, historic Shabbos will be observed with great excitement as "a Shabbos resembling the World to Come" with the leader of the congregation of Yeshurun, the fruit of the tree of life, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, in the very place where his holy forebears, our holy Rebbes, the tzaddikim of the House of Sighet, davened generation after generation zy"a, where the Rebbe shlit"a will undertake this elevated holy journey of "V'shavti" to the ancestral city of Sighet, on the occasion of the chanukas habayis of the new magnificent "Beis Medrash Etz HaTemarim," the building of Yeshaya Zev Löwy, "and the opening of the splendid mikvah" of R' Leibele Berkowitz, which was erected for His name and glory on the historic shul courtyard, and to hold there, in that very place, a "Shabbos of Chanukas HaBayis."

"For it shall not be forgotten from the mouths of his offspring"
So too, a historic, stirring gathering will be held, a "celebration of hachnasas sefer Torah" for the former Torah center "Beis Medrash Etz Temarim," for the first time since the bitter destruction!! An awe-inspiring gathering that will proclaim "The Eternal One of Israel does not lie," and "it shall not be forgotten from the mouths of his offspring"!!!

"May the merit of the fathers protect us"
During the brief, elevated holy journey of "V'shavti", there will also be elevated, inspiring moments when, together with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, they will visit the resting place of his forefathers, our holy Rebbes, whose merit should protect us, in the holy ohel at the cemetery in Sighet, and will arouse heavenly mercy and bring about salvations for the community and the individual, with all kinds of good blessings for our brethren, the Jewish people.

"How awesome is this holy place"
As is known, several years ago the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a undertook the historic project "L'Chadesh Ora" in honor of the home of his holy forefathers, with the goal of rebuilding the holy place, a beis medrash and mikvah, on this holy site of his great grandfathers, our holy Rebbes zy"a, thereby bringing to fruition the heartfelt desire of his father, the Beirach Moshe zy"a, who would always look forward and express the hope that it would yet be possible to redeem the property and restore the holy place.

Praise to the Almighty, the Rebbe shlit"a merited, with tremendous siyata dishmaya, to carry out his eternal aspiration to redeem the historic property, the "shul courtyard," which sadly stood empty since the bitter war, "foxes walked upon it," Heaven forbid, and through Hashem's kindness to live to see "and to the estate of his fathers he shall return."

However, we must remember for good the faithful emissary of the Rebbe shlit"a, the distinguished askan, the esteemed Rabbi Asher Yeshaya Horowitz of the "Vaad L'Chadesh Ora," who stood at the head of the holy project to oversee the building of the House of Hashem, and with extraordinary faithfulness carried out the holy mission of the Rebbe shlit"a.

"Blessed is He Who has kept us alive, sustained us and brought us to this time"
Now the building already stands fully ready, with all its splendor and comfort and with all its appurtenances!!

In these weeks, a team of askanim in our holy courts and the leadership of the "Vaad L'Chadesh Ora" are sitting in intensive meetings to work out all the details of the elevated holy journey of "V'shavti" - Shabbos Chanukas HaBayis. Tremendous efforts are being invested on all fronts so that everything will go in the best possible way.

"To seat him with nobles"
Special invitations of honor are being sent out in honor of the esteemed benefactors, the "builders and establishers of this holy place," all those who merited to take a share in this holy project in order to fulfill the righteous wish of the Beirach Moshe zy"a and of his son, may he live long, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, so that they may see with their own eyes the fruits of their donation and together celebrate the shared joy of "restoring the crown to its former glory."

The precise details of the historic holy journey of "V'shavti" - Shabbos Chanukas HaBayis - in the ancestral city of Sighet will follow in the coming weeks here on Satmar News.

"Sanctuary of the King, royal city, arise, go out from the upheaval; awaken, awaken, for a guest has come; behold, days are coming"

"And I will return in peace to my father's house":
A distinguished group of philanthropists and chassidim of our community has registered for the historic "Shabbos Chanukas HaBayis," Parshas Toldos, in the city of the forefathers, Sighet


Only a short month separates us from the uplifting "Shabbos Chanukas HaBayis," Parshas Toldos, IY"H, on the occasion of the renewal and inauguration of the "Shul-Hoif" in the city of Sighet, the stirring "Veshavti" trip to the city of the forefathers, headed by the tzaddik "like a date palm," the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a.

In honor of Shabbos, "Come, let us go, for it is the source of blessing!" The elevated holy journey "Veshavti" is set to be an exceedingly uplifting experience in many aspects: Shabbos Kodesh at the place where our holy Rabbeim davened, along with a series of moving events, among them an emotional ceremony of writing a Sefer Torah on Erev Shabbos, followed by the festive hachnasas sefer Torah on Shabbos Kodesh morning before the Torah reading. The Sefer Torah was written l'iluy nishmas our holy Rabbeim zy"a and will be given to the local beis medrash for the use of all visitors throughout the year.

After the uplifting Shabbos in Sighet, IY"H, the group will also travel together with the Rebbe shlit"a to Hungary, where they will daven at the renowned gravesite of the head of the chain, Moshe the man of G-d, the Yismach Moshe zy"a, at the old cemetery in Uhel, and it will also be possible to travel to Kerestir to daven at the burial place of the holy Rebbe R' Yeshaya'le of Kerestir zy"a.
Although the main partners and participants in the trip are the fortunate philanthropists and builders of the house who have purchased larger shares in the holy building, an opportunity is also being given to the general public of chassidim and men of action to join this uplifting trip and take part in the historic Shabbos with the Rebbe in Sighet, with a participation of at least 5,000 "Zechus Even Zikaron" (memorial stone merit), "and these stones shall be for a memorial in the Sanctuary of Hashem."

For the convenience of the public, especially in light of the current circumstances and regulations, it was decided to provide a special charter flight for the trip participants.
On behalf of the organizers of the trip and Shabbos, an important announcement and reminder is being conveyed: since all the necessary arrangements for the trip are now being prepared and ordered based on the number of participants, all those who still wish to join and register are asked to settle this as soon as possible by calling the "trip office" in a timely manner at: 845.751.1210.

According to the trip schedule, IY"H, the group will return to New York the morning after the uplifting Shabbos, Sunday night, Parshas Vayeitzei, laden and filled with an abundance of holiness and feelings of elevation after experiencing the historic Shabbos in the city of the forefathers.

"Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, who seek Hashem; look to the rock from which you were hewn!"

"The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone"

This coming Sunday, Parshas Vayeitzei, "How awesome is this place", following the historic Shabbos Toldos in the city of the Avos, Sighet during the Holy Journey of "And I shall return in peace to my father's house," the emotional ceremony of laying the cornerstone will take place for the new large building, "the Heichal of the beis medrash, a large mikvah, and rooms for hosting guests," which will be built adjacent to and in view of the holy tzion of Rabbeinu Moshe, the man of God, the Yismach Moshe zy"a, in the city of Uhel, by the "Va'ad HaTzion HaKadosh" under the auspices of the Chevra Kadisha of our holy kehilla. This is in addition to the existing renovated building, which is already too small to contain the crowds.

The great ceremony of the laying of the cornerstone will take place in the presence of a large crowd of chassidim and men of deeds, the hundreds of generous donors and prominent people who will take part in the Holy Journey, as well as a large gathering of our members living in Europe who will have the opportunity to participate in the gatherings in the ohel. It will be headed by the great leader of the flock, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, who continues with strength and courage the golden chain of the leaders and luminaries of the generations of the house of "Etzei HaTemarim," which stretches back to the head of the holy lineage, the holy Yismach Moshe zy"a.

In these days, important preparations are being made to set up the event in great splendor and glory, and to arrange all the necessary accommodations to receive the large crowd who will, IY"H, take part in this uplifting experience.

"Great shall be the glory of this house" — Creator of the world, may this building be completed in full
