Several nigunim were sung and the Rebbe distributed the money to the rabbonim and learners of the kollel. The Rebbe drank lechayim and bestowed from his holy blessings, and delivered a few brief words of holy Torah about the importance of those who learn Torah, concluding with words of blessing that we should merit to complete more subjects.

Likewise, a commencement of the writing of a Sefer Torah took place, written by the chassid R' Yehoshua Hersh HaKohen Glick. The Rebbe wrote in the letters, drank lechayim and bestowed from his holy blessings.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim in his holy home for the mechutanim R' Aharon Schwartz and R' Shlomo Zalman Gelb.

The Rebbe davened Maariv around 12:30, and after Maariv set out for Shikun Skver to participate in the wedding simcha at the home of his brother-in-law, the Skver Rebbe shlit"a, the bride being the daughter of his son-in-law, the Zvehil Rebbe shlit"a.

Upon arriving in Monsey, the Rebbe shlit"a first went into the Sinever beis medrash, where the Rebbe comforted the mourners, the sons of the Sinever Rebbe zt"l. A lengthy conversation ensued about stories of tzaddikim, and the Rebbe wished words of consolation.

Around 1:40 the Rebbe arrived at the wedding simcha in the great tent in front of the Beis Medrash HaGadol in Shikun Skver. The Rebbe greeted his brother-in-law the Skver Rebbe shlit"a and his brother-in-law the Vizhnitz Rebbe of Eretz Yisroel shlit"a, and all the distinguished rabbonim. A lovely conversation developed with the distinguished grandfathers, the Rebbes shlit"a. The Rebbe drank lechayim and warmly wished mazel tov to the chassan, the mechutanim, and the distinguished grandfathers and rabbonim. The Skver Rebbe shlit"a honored the Rebbe shlit"a with dancing the mitzvah tanz before the kallah. The Rebbe fulfilled the holy dancing, and afterward danced extra with the chassan and with the Skver and Vizhnitz Rebbes shlit"a, and then danced with the Zvehil Rebbe shlit"a, the father of the kallah, for an extended time.

Around 2:10 the Rebbe set out on the way home to his holy home in Kiryas Joel.
