Satmara Niyes

"What ails you, sleeper? Arise, call to your God." Open to us the gate at the time of the closing of the gate.

By the holy directive of the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, the "Bakashas Rachamim" gathering will take place in our batei medrash everywhere, where members of the kehilla will gather at dawn on the night of Erev Shabbos of the last week of Shovavim to recite the Sefer Tehillim, to arouse abundant heavenly mercy and to effect salvations and cures.
In our Great Beis Medrash in Kiryas Joel, with the participation of the leader of Israel, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, the verses will be recited one by one, Chapter 130. A hook-up to Kol Satmar will also be provided.

In our Great Beis Medrash in Williamsburg, with the participation of our teacher, the HaGaon HaTzaddik, Av Beis Din and Rosh Yeshiva shlit"a, who will deliver words from the holy table and a message appropriate for the hour before Chapter 102, it will be possible to follow along via the hook-up on Kol Satmar.
The same will take place in our batei medrash everywhere, with the participation of the rabbis and dayanim of our holy kehilla.
"Awake, please awaken, for the soul be gracious"
To come before the King to plead with Him and to beseech Him on behalf of His people

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a today delivered powerful, lengthy words of guidance at the holy table, at the "Special Day" for the more than 650 ninth-grade students of our holy mosdos from across Greater New York. He also expressed words of praise for rising on the night of Erev Shabbos during the days of Shovavim, as the Rebbe expressed himself: "..I want to make the blessing of 'HaTov V'HaMeitiv' on this good news," "..it surely pierced the heavens and made an impression."

He then expressed his emotional feelings: "..I heard good news of good commitments that the bochurim have taken upon themselves now, from Rosh Chodesh Adar until Yom Tov of Purim, which is coming to us for peace, to learn 'consecutive hours' as a great preparation for the 'Simchas Hachnasas Sefer Torah' that will take place IY"H soon. This is an aspect of 'Vehaya shamo'a tishme'un' - if you listen to the old, you will hear the new.."
"I want to invite all the bochurim to the simcha of the Hachnasas Sefer Torah. I want you to have a share in the joy of the mitzvah, but I also want you to have a share in the preparation for the Hachnasas Sefer Torah through learning Torah."

Finally, he spoke about the terrible situation prevailing in the world: "..'Let my soul be given to me at my petition, and my people at my request.' There are, unfortunately, many Jews all over the world with the bitter illness that is going around, and they need salvations and cures. May Hashem help a complete recovery for all those Jews who need a cure, and may Hashem help that all those who are healthy remain healthy. 'Men, women and children, old and young,' may all Jewish children be healthy physically and spiritually, until Hashem helps that we all merit to go out to greet the righteous Redeemer, speedily in our days, amen.

"And you shall write about the Jews in the name of the King"

Tens of thousands of talmidim and chassidim of Satmar are preparing with great preparation, with holy emotion, and with great joy for the stirring and uplifting event, the completion of the writing of a Sefer Torah, of the holy Sefer that will be presented by our father and shepherd, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, as the heads of the people gather together, the leaders of the thousands of Israel, this coming Motzei Shabbos Parshas Terumah-Zachor, in the gigantic, immense "Auditorium" in Kiryas Joel.

The event will be one unified whole of deveikus, longing, spiritual elevation, and holy excitement for the entire holy congregation. It will begin with the preparation at the "awesome event," with stirring and deveikus-filled nigunim. Afterwards there will be a powerful high point when the great source of joy and light of Israel, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, will deliver holy words, sparks of light, with the emotion of his pure heart, expressing his personal feelings and the significance of the auspicious time at such a moment, accompanied by special words of chizuk and guidance to uplift the pillar of Torah.

Then will come the climax of the holy event and a stirring sight, when the thousands of the assembled will merit to see the leader of the community, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, take the "kesses hasofer" (the scribe's quill) with holy trembling and holy emotion, writing the "last" letter in the Sefer Torah, and thereby meriting to recite the bracha on the completion of the Torah, the rare mitzvah of "And now, write for yourselves this song, and teach it to the children of Israel." And as the Rebbe performs hagbah on the holy Sefer, followed by the saying of lechayim and a holy bracha before the thousands assembled, at the conclusion the hall will rise in fervent dancing of joy and thanksgiving, as the heads of the people gather together, thousands of Israel, around the Rebbe shlit"a, with hearts uplifted, "to rejoice in the Rebbe's simcha and in the joy of the Torah."

The upper worlds rejoiced and the lower worlds exulted. Fortunate is the eye that has seen a holy congregation stirred in the joy of the Torah. Great and holy will be the glory of this event.
