"U'vechen Tzaddikim Yirau V'yismachu, V'yesharim Yaalozu" - The Night of Simchas Torah 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

At his holy home, the Rebbe went to the mikvah.

At around 12:30, the Rebbe shlit"a entered the beis medrash for Maariv, amid hundreds of chassidim and men of deeds. Baal tefillah: R' Yisroel Mordechai son of R' Philipp.

At 1:40 the Rebbe shlit"a entered the beis medrash wrapped in a borrowed tallis for Atah Horaisa. Opening the Aron: R' Wolf Perl.

At 1:50 the Rebbe shlit"a began the holy service by dancing the elevated Hakafos.
The Rebbe shlit"a said four Torah thoughts in the middle of the introduction.
- First Torah thought: on the verse 'Yedid Nefesh Av HaRachaman', with the strength of Yaakov Avinu and the dancing on the days of Simchas Torah, one can strengthen oneself against the power of the Satan and fulfill Hashem's will completely.
- Second Torah thought: on the verse 'Hadur Naeh', through the four species and the mitzvah of sukkah, complete cures are bestowed. On Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah, when the four species are not present, through the holy Torah, with which one dances with the 248 limbs, complete cures are also bestowed. He related a story about the holy R' Yeshaya'le of Tchehov zy"a, who was unwell, and the holy Divrei Chaim zy"a brought him a fruit from Gan Eden to smell, and he immediately felt better. It states in the holy Zohar that the holy Avos come down to rejoice and bring down a fruit, and the whole community can benefit from it and merit a complete recovery.
- Third Torah thought: on the verse 'HaGaleh Na', one must use both the trait of humility and the trait of pride for the service of Hashem, but only with proper judgment does one know how to use them. Through the mitzvah of sukkah, which bestows judgment, one can use them in the proper way. On Simchas Torah, when one dances and rejoices with the Torah, a person should not think, "Who am I to rejoice on Simchas Torah?" Rather, every Jew has a connection to the Torah and a right and an obligation to rejoice with the Torah, and this will give him strengthening for the whole year.
- Fourth Torah thought: on the verse 'Bereishis Torasecha HaKedumah', there are four types of atonement, or for teshuva to be effective it must be accompanied by prayer. Through engaging in Torah one regains the tzelem Elokim on his face, and one can already pray properly. One must therefore resolve to engage in Torah every day in order to receive the tzelem Elokim on the face.

The introduction ended at around 4 o'clock.
Because of the late hour, the Rebbe danced the seventh Hakafah only on the bimah and conducted the dancing with even greater intensity and tremendous enthusiasm.
The Hakafos concluded at around 5:15.

After the Hakafos, the Rebbe shlit"a recited Shema Yisroel, Hashem Melech, and the other verses.
- Verses of Shema Yisroel and baal korei: R' Yitzchak Noach Perlmutter (Montreal)
Aliyos.
- Kohen: Rabbi Berish Kleinman shlit"a (Monsey).
- Levi: R' Chaim Levy (Vienna).
- Shlishi: the Rebbe shlit"a.
- Hagbah: HaGaon Rabbi Hillel Rabinowitz shlit"a.
- Gelilah: R' Gavriel Zagil (Argentina).
It ended at 5:40, and the Rebbe wished the entire community a good Yom Tov.

The Rebbe shlit"a went home to his holy residence, immediately made Kiddush, and ate the Yom Tov seudah privately with a few grandchildren and members of his household. During the seudah, a conversation developed about the service of the Hakafos by our holy Rebbes.
For the zemiros and Birkas Hamazon, the Rebbe honored his grandson Rabbi Asher Anshil Ashkenazi shlit"a (Manchester).

Simchas Torah Day

On Simchas Torah morning, Erev Shabbos, at around 11:35 the Rebbe shlit"a entered the beis medrash.
Pesukei Dezimra and Shacharis were davened quickly as is customary. Baal tefillah: R' Yaakov Yosef Philipp. At Nishmas they said "Hakel," "Hamelech," and "Shochen Ad" in the Yom Tov, Yamim Noraim, and Shabbos nusach, as is customary. The kohanim duchened.
The Rebbe proceeded to the recital of Hallel with fiery enthusiasm. It ended at around 1:15, and the Rebbe went into his private room.

At around 1:55 the Rebbe shlit"a entered the beis medrash for Atah Horaisa. Opening the Aron: R' Yoel son of R' Zalman Friedman.

At around 2:05 the Rebbe shlit"a began dancing the holy Hakafos. The introduction ended at approximately 3:40.

The Rebbe shlit"a said six Torah thoughts, four during the introduction and before the fourth and sixth Hakafos.
- First Torah thought: on the verse 'Yedid Nefesh', even if one's soul was exchanged for the soul of a gentile through sleeping in the sukkah, one gets back one's own soul. Likewise, through the dancing of mitzvah on Simchas Torah, one gets back one's own soul, so that it remains a holy, pure, shining soul just as it was received from Hashem.
- Second Torah thought: on the verse of 'HaGaleh Na', there is a fresh giving of the Torah every day, but only if one has not exchanged one's soul for the soul of a gentile. On Simchas Torah one thanks Hashem and dances for a longer time with the new giving of each day, which is a segulah for the soul of a Jew to remain within him.
- Third Torah thought: on the verse of 'Bereishis Torasecha', how can a mortal fight the yetzer hara, only by performing mitzvos with blazing fire, and this is accomplished through dancing with blazing fire on Simchas Torah to burn away the power of the outside forces, and on this day one can pray and request all good things.
- Fourth Torah thought: after the first Hakafah, on the verse of 'HaKel HaGadol', when accusers come against Jewish children, through the shaking of the lulav on Sukkos the power of Avraham Avinu is awakened and all claims and questions are nullified.
- The Torah thought before the fourth Hakafah - the Hakafah of Moshe Rabbeinu, on the verse 'Bereishis Bara Elokim': tzaddikim have the power, through combinations of letters, to transform the attributes of judgment into mercy by engaging in Torah. On Simchas Torah it is enough, through a good resolution, to transform all combinations of letters for the good, and one can now rejoice. Now, at the Hakafah of Moshe Rabbeinu, is the time to take upon oneself a true commitment, each according to his level, whether baalei batim, avreichim, bochurim, or talmud torah children, to engage in Torah, which IY"H will be carried out.
The Torah thought before the sixth Hakafah - the Hakafah of Yosef HaTzaddik: the introduction to Torah is fear of Heaven, so the Torah is sustained, the foundation of Torah learning depends on fear of Heaven. Therefore, if one accepts upon himself guarding the eyes and guarding thoughts, one will have fear of Heaven and one's wisdom will endure.

Between the Hakafos they sang the piyutim of the Chareidim with great awakening, and many tears were shed with emotions of longing and awakening among tens of thousands of our chassidim.

At the sixth Hakafah the Rebbe shlit"a performed the shaking with the Sefer Torah with elevation and devotion, as is the custom of our holy Rebbes.
At the seventh Hakafah, already only on the bimah because of the late hour, the Rebbe took his own Sefer Torah and danced with great endearment and elevation in lofty joy.

At the conclusion, at approximately 6:15, the Rebbe said Vayesayu and recited Ledavid Mizmor verse by verse.

The Torah was read and the tefillos were davened quickly due to the lack of time.

The Pure Table of Neilas HaChag - Gathering for Blessings of the Holy

At around 9:30 the Rebbe shlit"a entered the great beis medrash for the Neilas HaChag tish, in the presence of thousands upon thousands of Jews.
Upon entering, the Rebbe went out in a festive dance on the floor for a few minutes and continued the seudah, extending it with Yom Tov melodies.

The Rebbe said a Torah thought on the verse 'Vayedaber Moshe Es Moadei Hashem El Bnei Yisroel' and explained that it alludes both to the praise of Hashem and the praise of Israel, who cling to the Torah and mitzvos. The Rebbe elaborated on the praise of this holy kehilla, which observed the holy Yamim Tovim with elevation, especially the second days of Yom Tov, with an uplifted spirit and devotion to Torah, which will bring all kinds of blessings for the entire year.

After the Torah thought they sang U'vechen Tzaddikim, and the Rebbe stood up and danced with holy fire for a longer time, "V'chassidim B'rina Yagilu," lifting the entire community to thousands and fiery dancing.

Afterward the Rebbe learned from the Bavli and Yerushalmi in Maseches Berachos and explained beautiful allusions and matters interwoven with stories of tzaddikim.

After the tish the Rebbe shlit"a stood up and said "L'shana Haba'ah B'Yerushalayim" three times.

Maariv for Motzei Yom Tov: the bochur Moshe Wagschal, son of HaGaon R' Avrohom Dovid z"l (Monsey).

They sang Yom Tov melodies and melodies of Meron in anticipation of Shabbos Parshas Toldos at the holy site of Meron, may it be rebuilt. The Rebbe wished the blessings of the holy, a good week and a healthy winter, and encouraged everyone to carry out all the good resolutions they accepted during Yom Tov, "Yizkor lecha atah etmol asher dibarta," each according to his level, the small with the great, and concluded with abundant blessings. It ended at around 11:30, and the Rebbe went home to his holy residence.

At his holy home, hundreds of guests from our community from Eretz Yisroel, Europe, and Montreal, who had stayed for Yom Tov B'tzeil HaKodesh and had not had the opportunity to enter on the night of Hoshana Rabbah, entered to take leave for an extended time.
In addition, a group of our bochurim from Montreal handed over larger sums for the benefit of the Kiryas Joel fund, and the Rebbe distributed to each his sefer Lev Aharon and bestowed from his holy blessing.
Likewise, a group of our bochurim from London handed over larger sums for the Rebbe's fund for the poor of Eretz Yisroel, and the Rebbe bestowed from his holy blessing.

- Hagbah on the second sefer: HaRav HaChassid R' Yekusiel Aharon Dovid Weiss, Monroe.
- Gelilah: HaRav HaChassid R' Yitzchak Klein, Monroe.

Yizkor was recited. Due to the great crowding of the many thousands of men upon entering after Yizkor, special barriers were set up in all wings and on the south and north sides of the beis medrash to prevent life-threatening dangers when so many thousands of Jews go out and come in at once.

After a few minutes the Rebbe returned wearing the kittel, and the Rebbe approached the amud and recited the Prayer for Rain, Ledavid Mizmor and Kaddish. The shamash, HaRav HaChassid R' Yoel Kaufman, called out "Mashiv HaRuach Umorid HaGeshem."
The Rebbe shlit"a blessed for rain with great arousal.

Opening for Geshem: HaRav HaChassid R' Mordechai Landau; for Kavei: HaRav HaChassid R' Yitzchak Ehrenfeld; opening for Na'im Zemiros: R' Shmuel Benedict (Manchester). It concluded at around 3:20.

After a few minutes the Rebbe shlit"a entered the great sukkah for Kiddush as is customary. The Rebbe made Kiddush and tasted from the mezonos, nanet, kindel and fish.

The Rebbe shlit"a said Torah on the text of the Prayer for Rain, "to give life, we mention the might of the rain," and explained that the prayers of the earlier tzaddikim have accomplished for good until this very day, that Jewish children benefit from them with all kinds of salvations.
It concluded at around 3:45.

The Rebbe conducted the afternoon meal together with his family members in the sukkah at his holy home, with an open door. For the zemiros, the Rebbe honored HaGaon R' Sinai Teitelbaum shlit"a, son of the HaGaon HaTzaddik, Rav of our kehilla in Boro Park 15 shlit"a.
The Rebbe said Torah on the text "to give life, we mention the might of the rain," and explained that Hakadosh Baruch Hu gives life to the nations of the world, and this is the source of the flow of parnassah for all of Klal Yisroel.
For Bentching, the Rebbe honored his brother, the HaGaon HaTzaddik, Rav of our kehilla in Boro Park 15 shlit"a.

In the afternoon at around 6:15 the Rebbe shlit"a entered the great beis medrash for Mincha. Baal tefilla: HaRav HaChassid R' Chanoch Kraus.

After Mincha the Rebbe shlit"a entered the great sukkah to bid farewell to the sukkah.
Yom Tov melodies were sung. The Rebbe drank lechayim and blessed the chevra kadisha as is customary and the entire congregation of thousands of men, and made a blessing on an apple.

The singing continued with melodies of arousal and Hagleh Na.
The Rebbe shlit"a said Torah on the phrase "Hagleh Na." He first said a few words with emotion, recalling in his holy presence the Rebbe, the Divrei Yoel zt"l, whoever once heard at the Hoshana Rabbah drasha those holy words, "Hashem will reveal Himself to us...!" To that person the words Hagleh Na have an entirely different meaning, and the same for whoever heard him say "Umipnei Chata'einu."

"It still lies in our bones to this day...!"
The Rebbe continued the Torah and explained that the four species correspond to the limbs of a person, one brings them into the sukkah, it brings the flow of parnassah and perfect health, and it becomes a glorification of Heaven, and he concluded with abundant blessings.

After the Torah, the singing continued and Hagleh Na was sung again with great arousal.
The Rebbe shlit"a threw apples for a longer time, as was the custom of the Beirach Moshe zt"l and above in holiness, the Divrei Chaim zy"a, and afterwards he recited with emotion the prayer upon leaving the sukkah and the Yehi Ratzon. The Rebbe stood up and declared "Leshanah Haba'ah B'Yerushalayim" with holy fire, and broke out into a fiery dance with the joy of a mitzvah to bid farewell to Yom Tov Sukkos.

The Rebbe left the sukkah with holy dancing and entered the beis medrash and danced around the beis medrash several times, leaning on his brother, the HaGaon HaTzaddik, Rav of our kehilla in Boro Park 15 shlit"a, and the HaGaon HaTzaddik, Av Beis Din of Monsey shlit"a. It concluded at around 7:55, and the Rebbe went home to his holy residence.

Leil Hoshana Rabba, Ushpizin of Dovid HaMelech Moshiach 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

Because of the rain, the Rebbe held the Yom Tov seudah in the private sukkah in his holy home. After saying the Seder HaUshpizin, the Rebbe shlit"a washed for the Yom Tov seudah. At bentching, the Rebbe honored R' Dovid Farkash.

After Mishneh Torah, the Rebbe went up to the bimah of honor in front of the Aron Kodesh in the heichal of the Beis Medrash HaGadol, and they sang at length the melodies of the Yamim Noraim with great inspiration.

For the Shir HaMaalos, the Rebbe shlit"a honored:
- R' Dovid Shlomo Berger.
- R' Shmuel Dovid Markowitz (of the Williamsburg Beis Din).
- R' Dovid Eckstein.

The Rebbe shlit"a said Torah on the verse "Blow the shofar at the new moon," explaining that through the Torah a person receives free choice, since "I created the Torah as a spice against it," which should awaken him to teshuva for his deeds. Moreover, the reason the Jewish people accepted the Torah and not the angels is that a person has free choice, and reflection must bring about a change for the good in a person. The custom with us to blow the shofar on Hoshana Rabba is "improve your deeds," and on this day the curse is turned into a blessing; one can pray for one's needs just as on Rosh Hashana.
They finished at around 12:45, and the Rebbe went into his private room.

After a few minutes the Rebbe shlit"a entered the Beis Medrash with the great assembly for the recitation of Tehillim. Baal tefilla: R' Asher Yaakov Eckstein. After each book they said the Yehi Ratzon for Hoshana Rabba and Kaddish. They finished at about 2:45 and the Rebbe shlit"a went home to his holy residence, where the Rebbe bound the hoshanos for himself and for the Rebbetzin tichye.

Yom Hoshana Rabba

On the morning of the day, at around 11:20, the Rebbe shlit"a entered the Beis Medrash wrapped in the tallis, kappel and kittel of the Divrei Yoel zt"l, with the white bekitshe beneath it.

Before davening, a bris was held for the newborn son of R' Yosef Chaviv Masri, at which the Rebbe served as sandek.

The Rebbe shlit"a proceeded to the brachos, Pesukei D'Zimra and Shacharis, omitting [piyutim] in the nusach of the Yamim Noraim, and Hallel HaGadol as customary, with the song said verse by verse.
During Hallel the Rebbe shlit"a prolonged his holy service at the naanuim with holy emotion, with deveikus and great inspiration, while the entire assembly of thousands upon thousands of Jews sang the holy melodies with tears flowing.
After Hallel, the rings were removed from the lulav as customary.

At 1:50 the Rebbe shlit"a began the fiery "Hoshana Rabba derasha," with the well-known parable often repeated by our holy Rebbes zy"a, "One who walks in the ways of his forefathers, the merit of the forefathers is mentioned for him," and spoke at length with stormy weeping and tears, which swept the entire Beis Medrash into awesome weeping.

Afterward the Rebbe continued at length with lofty concepts and words of inspiration, weeping, in honor of the day:
- "Hoshana for Your sake, our G-d": the initials spell "ohel," which alludes to a mikvah, showing that Hashem's attributes have no limit, and all questions are answered. On this holy day Jews accept upon themselves to improve in speech, deed and thought, Torah and prayer, and a salvation comes for oneself and one's household.
- "For Your sake, our Creator": There is a judgment and an accounting: judgment for sinful acts, and accounting for the time one could have done a mitzvah. Therefore the shofar is blown twice, to rectify both.
- "Hoshana for Your sake, our Redeemer": We were redeemed from Egypt because "I am with him in distress"; therefore the other exiles need not be completed, and we can indeed merit the complete redemption.
- "For Your sake, our Seeker": Chazal teach that Hashem will not exchange the Jewish people for another nation; therefore Hashem is obligated to bestow abundance of livelihood, healing and redemption.

- "Hoshana for the sake of Your truth": By engaging in Torah, the Torah of truth, the forces of evil are burned and one can pray properly; hence the call goes out to everyone to set a fixed time for study before davening.
- "Hoshana for the sake of Your covenant": Through bris milah Jews have the status of holiness, and it removes the blemish in the upper worlds.
- "Hoshana for the sake of Your greatness and glory": These are the four species of the lulav; since we hold the two species in the right hand, which is more important, this is proof that we follow the majority, and through teshuva done in public, intentional sins are also turned into merits. A holy congregation stands before many, and Hoshana Rabba will surely be sealed for good and blessing. He concluded with many blessings.

The derasha ended at around 3:45, and they began to circle the Beis Medrash. The Rebbe shlit"a recited the hoshanos beforehand with great inspiration. Between the hakafos, the Av Beis Din of Williamsburg shlit"a blew the shofar as customary. After the circling they said the piyutim, and after Kaddish Titkabal the Rebbe beat the hoshanos 5 times and said the Yehi Ratzon as customary.

- Hotzaah and Hachnasah: R' Shalom Eliezer Rotter (Bnei Brak).
- Pesukei Shema Yisroel: the Rebbe's grandson, Rabbi Menachem Shlomo Ashkenazi shlit"a (Boro Park), son of the Rebbe's son-in-law HaGaon HaTzaddik, rav of Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a.

A few minutes after Mincha, the Rebbe shlit"a entered the tish in honor of the day in the large sukkah and said the Seder HaUshpizin. At the lechayim after the fish, the Rebbe wished "a good blessed year." With the soup, kreplach were served as customary, and Yom Tov melodies were sung.

- HaGaon Rabbi Yitzchak Shalom Friedman shlit"a - Moreh Tzedek.

The Rebbe then delivered a Torah thought on the verse 'Veyosef hu hashalit,' explaining that Yosef HaTzaddik brought into every Jew the strength to overcome his own challenges, in whatever situation he finds himself, and that everyone must keep this before his eyes to this very day. The same applies to the mitzvah of sukkah, which bestows kedusha: one should not think that this is only for those on a higher level, rather it is meant for each individual personally, and each person draws forth kedusha according to his own level and it bestows all good.
- Birkas Hamazon: the Chaver Beis Din, HaGaon HaTzaddik, Rav of the Avnei Tzedek beis medrash shlit"a.
