In the afternoon hours, the Rebbe traveled to Williamsburg for the weekly yechidus hours.

Upon arriving in Williamsburg at 7:00, the Rebbe went to the ceremony of affixing a mezuzah at the magnificent new building of 'Yeshiva L'Tze'irim,' donated by the distinguished philanthropist R' Avrohom Brach.
The Rebbe entered the heichal of the beis medrash and looked over the learning areas with visible nachas, and then davened Mincha with a large crowd in the heichal of the beis medrash.

After Mincha, the Rebbe shlit"a affixed a mezuzah on the door of the beis medrash and then walked around and toured the entire magnificent building, on all floors and rooms, accompanied by his son HaGaon Rabbi, the Av Beis Din of Williamsburg shlit"a, and heard a report from the building's donor, the distinguished philanthropist R' Avrohom Brach, may he live and be well.

Afterwards, a lechayim and chanukas habayis celebration was held in the heichal of the beis medrash. Several niggunim were sung, and the Rosh Yeshiva, HaGaon Rabbi, the Av Beis Din of Williamsburg shlit"a, spoke and welcomed the Rebbe shlit"a. He spoke in praise of the esteemed donor, the philanthropist R' Avrohom, and of how much effort he invested to build such a beautiful building, both in money and in personal effort, and especially the efforts he invests all year for the success of the yeshiva.

The Rebbe drank lechayim and wished well to HaGaon Rabbi, the Av Beis Din of Williamsburg shlit"a, to the menahel HaRav R' Hershel Horowitz shlit"a, to the donor R' Avrohom Brach, and to the entire gathering. He then delivered words of Torah on the verse "Speak to the entire congregation of the children of Israel: You shall be holy," explaining that only in the merit of Yaakov Avinu can we endure in galus, and that the existence of Klal Yisroel even in treif America is not according to the way of nature. The Rebbe expressed his great joy that we can gather for the chanukas habayis of such a magnificent building, where the bochurim will continue to grow for the glory of Hashem and His splendor. He continued with fundamental words of guidance for the bochurim, and mentioned in praise the esteemed donor, the philanthropist R' Avrohom Brach, who built such a beautiful, magnificent building for the yeshiva, and all his other projects and buildings within our holy kehilla in Williamsburg, which were built in the finest and best manner and are filled with those who daven and learn at the highest standard. He especially mentioned the donor's new project, which b'ezras Hashem will establish affordable apartments in Kiryas Joel. He spoke with pain about the extremely difficult situation with apartments in the mother city of Israel, Williamsburg, where it is simply not possible for an ordinary person to buy an apartment, and even renting costs a fortune. The Rebbe noted that in the broader American community, and likewise in Eretz Yisroel, it has already become the norm that a young couple marries and immediately moves away from their parents' city due to the high costs of staying in the older cities. Although Williamsburg is indeed very honorable and holy, it still does not compare to Kiryas Joel, neither spiritually nor materially. The Divrei Yoel zt"l established Kiryas Joel precisely for Williamsburg Jews. The time has come to think about moving away from here, and to say the verse "Arise, go out from this place," that people should move out to Kiryas Joel, where there is an abundance of apartments at affordable prices. One sees that the future of our community is in Kiryas Joel. He concluded with a blessing for the yeshiva's administration and all the students, and a special blessing for the esteemed donor.
