The Rebbe went up to his holy residence, where a lechayim gathering was held with the mispallelim of Beis Medrash Ohr Yisroel Elimelech of our holy kehilla, on the occasion of the appointment of HaRav HaGaon R' Avrohom Wolf Schnebalg shlit"a as the dayan of the beis medrash. A pleasant conversation developed about memories of the sugya that the Rebbe shlit"a studied forty years ago, and about the customs of reciting Selichos among the talmidim of the Baal Shem Tov zy"a. Songs were sung in honor of the occasion, and the Rebbe drank lechayim and warmly blessed the dayan shlit"a that no stumbling block should come from under his hands, and then blessed his family and the administration and gabbaim of the beis medrash.

Afterwards, a group of bochurim from the Yeshiva Gedolah, Kedushas Yoel branch, entered the inner sanctum to receive the Rebbe's holy blessing on the occasion of their departure this afternoon to the holy places in Europe.

Tuesday, Parshas Ki Tavo — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Beis Medrash Imrei Noam in the Divrei Yoel neighborhood together with the talmidim of Yeshiva Gedolah, the Ohr HaTorah branch of Monsey, under the direction of HaRav R' Yisroel Mordechai Seidenfeld shlit"a.

Before davening, a bris was held for the newborn son of R' Shlomo Reuven Malach, where the Rebbe served as sandek. The Rebbe put on tefillin with the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Yisroel, son of R' Aharon Spitzer.
After davening, the Rebbe blew shofar and recited the ten chapters of Tehillim as is customary.

Afterwards, a lechayim gathering was held in the main hall of the beis medrash in honor of the end of the zman. Several niggunim were sung, and the Rebbe made a lechayim and extended his blessings to the bar mitzvah bochur and to the rebbeim and talmidim of the yeshiva. The Rebbe then delivered words of chizuk to the bochurim and concluded with his holy blessing, and the Rebbe distributed a copy of Kisvei Yoel to all the bochurim.

Afterwards, the Rebbe went down to the lower floor of the beis medrash, where the Rebbe looked over the construction work at the mikvah and the Heichal HaTorah, and in the course of this heard a report from HaGaon R' Yisroel Ber Stein shlit"a, dayan and moreh tzedek of the beis medrash, about the progress of the plans for the expansion of the boundaries of holiness, and extended his holy blessing.

At around 1:35, the Rebbe arrived at the Heichal HaMesivta, the Veyoel Moshe branch, where the Rebbe delivered the sixth sugya shiur on the topic of mitzvah haba'ah ba'aveirah, as preparation for the Shabbos Shuvah derasha. After the sugya shiur, the Rebbe addressed the talmidim of the yeshiva from all the branches. The Rebbe said that, b'ezras Hashem, there is hope to travel to Eretz Yisroel this coming Parshas Toldos to strengthen our chassidim and our kehilla and holy mosdos in Eretz Yisroel. Likewise, there is hope to be in Meron for Shabbos Kodesh, which is truly an elevated matter, and the Shabbos in Meron of Parshas Pekudei 5776 still lingers in the bones to this day. In this regard the Rebbe asked the bochurim, as well as the chasanim who are still within the walls of the yeshiva, not to travel along to Eretz Yisroel, since the zman is about to begin and it could disrupt the yeshiva's schedule. The Rebbe also asked the bochurim that, since there are many poor people in Eretz Yisroel and we travel there to strengthen them, the bochurim should go out to collect money during the bein hazmanim days and raise larger sums to be able to distribute in Eretz Yisroel to the poor among our chassidim there. The Rebbe concluded by saying that all the bochurim who bring in respectable sums will have their kvitel taken along to be remembered for salvation and mercy at the tziyun of the holy Tanna, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in Meron, "and he, Rabbi Shimon, is one to rely upon."
It ended at around 2:30.

From there the Rebbe traveled into Williamsburg for the weekly reception hours, which ran from 4:45 until 12:30 at night at his holy home on Hewes St.

At around 7:15 there was a short break when the Rebbe went over to the home of R' Naftali Hirtzka Stein, one of the Rebbe shlit"a's trusted confidants, and graced with his presence the Sheva Brachos celebration for his son the chasan, as a mazel tov. A pleasant conversation developed with recollections of days gone by and of the holy Rebbe R' Moshele of Shiniva zy"a, and the Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessing upon the chasan, the mechutanim, and the esteemed grandfathers shlit"a.

Afterwards the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home and continued receiving the public.

During the reception hours, the Kretchnif-Sigot Rebbe of Williamsburg shlit"a came for a visit, and a pleasant conversation ensued about various mourning customs during the year of aveilus. The Kretchnif Rebbe shlit"a handed a kvitel to the Rebbe shlit"a to bless and be blessed ahead of the Days of Mercy and Favor, b'ezras Hashem, and the Rebbe warmly extended his holy blessing.

Also entering the Rebbe's room was the administration of Chaburas Yesodei HaTorah, on the occasion of the campaign to increase the number of learners in the chaburah ahead of the grand siyum of half of Shas, which will take place, IY"H, in the coming month of Cheshvan.

Zemiros at Shalosh Seudos, the Rebbe gave honors:
- Odeh: HaGaon R' Mendel Hersh Kahana shlit"a, dayan and moreh tzedek of Karlsburg, Williamsburg.
- Shir HaMaalos: R' Moshe Goldstein.

The Rebbe shlit"a said Torah on the verse "Ki Hashem mis'halech b'kerev machanecha l'hatzilecha v'lasays oyvecha lifanecha", whose initials spell Elul. He explained that through tzedakah there is hashraas haShechina. When Hashem is present, He looks into Jewish hearts and sees the troubles and problems of each one. Even when one is in a state of "the wilderness has closed in on them," where the power of speech is sealed and the tefillos do not ascend, nevertheless Hashem fulfills the requests, since Hashem Himself looks into the heart of each person.

The Rebbe bentched over the cup and recited Sheva Brachos.
