Afterwards, at around 9:50, the Rebbe set out on the annual visit to Machane Rav Tov, the bochurim's camp in Swan Lake, to daven Shacharis together with the students of the preparatory yeshiva classes of our holy mosdos in Williamsburg and Boro Park.
The Rebbe arrived at the camp at around 10:50. Upon arrival, the Rebbe greeted the camp directors, R' Mordechai Weiss and his son R' Aharon, who accompany the camp from beginning to end.

The Rebbe put on tefillin in the beis medrash, and then the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- The bochur Yoel Landau, son of R' Moshe Leib.
- The bochur Pinchas Tzvi Markowitz.
The baal tefillah was HaBochur Rabbi Avrohom Dovid Wagschal z"l, of Monsey.

After Shacharis, the Rebbe crossed over to the bungalow colony to the home of HaRav R' Aharon Weinberger for a morning meal.

At around 1:30 the Rebbe returned to the camp, where the Rebbe entered the batei medrash and looked in on the learning, beginning with the beis medrash of the students of our holy mosdos in Williamsburg, under the direction of Rabbi Yehuda Ber Teller shlit"a, where the Rebbe walked among the tables, listened, and engaged in Torah discussion with the bochurim for an extended time.

Afterwards the Rebbe went down to the beis medrash of the students of our holy mosdos in Boro Park, under the direction of Rabbi Akiva Yosef Kahana shlit"a, where the Rebbe listened and engaged in Torah discussion with the bochurim for an extended time.

Afterwards the Rebbe went back up to the beis medrash of the Williamsburg students, where a lechayim gathering took place with all the bochurim together in the main hall of the beis medrash. Several songs and rhymes were sung in honor of the occasion. The Rebbe drank lechayim and gave blessings to all the bochurim and the rabbeim.
Then the Rebbe delivered lengthy words of holy Torah to the bochurim, particularly about rising before dawn to learn, which is a form of mesirus nefesh, and also strongly urged the bochurim to be very careful not to engage in idle talk while wearing tefillin.
In addition, the Rebbe urged the bochurim to review the meaning of the words of the Leshem Yichud for putting on tefillin and of Ahavah Rabbah, and concluded with a holy blessing for the rabbeim and for all the bochurim.
It concluded at around 3:15.

While at the camp, the Rebbe especially greeted his grandchildren and the grandchildren of his father, the Beirach Moshe zy"a, students of the camp, and gave them pocket money, following the custom of his father zy"a.

On the way out, the Rebbe went in to the very youngest children, residents of the camp.
The children sang a song and the Rebbe gave out sweets for the rabbeim to distribute to the children.

A few minutes later a lechayim gathering took place with all the children together in the dining room, where the children sang several songs and several children sang heartfelt rhymes in honor of the occasion. Then the Rebbe made a lechayim and gave blessings to all the children and rabbeim, delivered words of holy Torah, and spoke of the greatness of the study of Torah, especially of Torah shebichsav and Torah shebe'al peh (Tashbar), and concluded with his holy blessing.
Then the Rebbe distributed shirayim for the rabbeim to give out to all the children. It concluded at around 5:30 and the Rebbe left the camp and drove through as the children stood lined up on both sides of the camp.

At around 6:40 the Rebbe arrived in Shikun Skvira, where the Rebbe graced the chuppah ceremony at the wedding of the granddaughter of his brother-in-law the Skver Rebbe shlit"a. The kallah is the daughter of his grandson Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech Twersky shlit"a, and the chasan is the son-in-law of the Rebbe of Rachmistrivka of Monsey shlit"a. The Rebbe waited until after the chuppah and warmly congratulated his brother-in-law the Skver Rebbe shlit"a, the chasan and the mechutanim, and the distinguished Rebbes and rabbanim shlit"a, among them the grandfather, the Lojev-Chernobyl Rebbe shlit"a, the Rachmistrivka Rebbes shlit"a, who are brothers, and the Vizhnitz Rebbe of London shlit"a.

How can one merit this? The Rebbe quoted the Amrei Noam zy"a, who says regarding Rosh Hashana that the blowing of the shofar awakens teshuva, since Hakadosh Baruch Hu Himself blows through the shofar, "Alah Elokim biteruah, Hashem b'kol shofar," and this comes in the merit of the mitzvah of matzah, as matzah sanctifies a person's body so that he can receive the shofar blast from Hakadosh Baruch Hu Himself, and this awakens teshuva.
The Rebbe said that the same thing applies to the consolation: "Nachamu nachamu," together with the eight letters, equals in gematria "lechem oni," and in the merit of the mitzvah of matzah, Klal Yisroel will merit to hear the consolation from Hakadosh Baruch Hu Himself. We hope and pray that we should indeed be comforted after all the troubles that Klal Yisroel has endured, and that we should soon merit the coming of Moshiach, speedily in our days.
