"Who shall ascend the mountain of Hashem, and who shall stand in His holy place?"

Festive holy words from the pure, heartfelt longings of the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a after Shacharis at the celebration of the siyum on Maseches Yevamos of the "Yesodei HaTorah" group, regarding the short holy journey to the holy site of Meron.

"...IY"H tomorrow I am traveling to Eretz Yisroel for a short trip. I am traveling to the holy site of Meron, to the resting place of the Tanna Elokai, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. For some time now I have had a yearning to travel to Meron..."
The Rebbe also expressed the yearning of his father, the Rebbe zy"a, to travel to Meron without a crowd, and said: "...A trembling seized me! Today I said 'Who shall ascend the mountain of Hashem, and who shall stand in His holy place?' and it shook me from head to foot!! Who shall ascend the mountain of Hashem, and who shall stand in His holy place!!!..." The Rebbe then expressed the holy feelings of the unforgettable "Shabbos Meron," the spiritual elevation of a Shabbos that was entirely spiritual in the courtyard of the holy Tanna Rabbi Shimon. He recalled what happened Friday night when the shed shook, and said that after the tragedy of Lag B'Omer, one should reflect a little on "the miracles and wonders that it did not collapse." "I feel that one must go to Meron and say on behalf of the entire congregation that was there: Blessed is He Who performed miracles for us in this place, but the merit of the holy Tanna R' Shimon stood by us!" "...Who shall ascend the mountain of Hashem, and who shall stand in His holy place. I hope to be able to say Tehillim at the holy site and daven at the holy resting place for myself, for my family, and for all our chassidim..."
The Rebbe specifically asked the askanim to arrange that the chassidim who learn in the "Yesodei HaTorah V'Sorascha Shaashuai" group be able to send along a kvitel, and he concluded with lengthy holy blessings.

His Torah is a shield for us, it is the light of our eyes; may he plead well on our behalf, our master Bar Yochai

Torah, Torah, Gird Yourselves

With great excitement, thousands of chassidim from Williamsburg and Boro Park filled the giant "Kent Avenue Square" at the exalted and lofty gathering marking the siyum of Maseches Yevamos and the start of Maseches Kesubos in the "Yesodei HaTorah" group of our holy kehilla. A lavish seudas mitzvah, together with the concluding seudah for the completion of a Torah, was sponsored by the family of the prominent philanthropist R' Yitzchak Rosenberg z"l, a leader of our holy kehilla, in honor of the simcha of the "hachnasas sefer Torah" today in our great beis medrash in Williamsburg.

In his holy address, the Rebbe took as his starting point the verse "And Israel encamped there opposite the mountain," and explained it in the manner of a derush in honor of the day, bringing out the fiery power of the holy Torah: "How distinguished is this day," when several thousand chassidim merit to complete Maseches Yevamos, one of the most difficult masechtos in Shas! He praised the thousands of learners, especially those who present themselves for the examination, "Fortunate are you, Israel," and he called out to the chassidim, "From here the call goes forth," that they should join the holy group Yesodei HaTorah: "Please participate in the learning of Maseches Kesubos."

Afterwards the Rebbe spoke in praise of the distinguished philanthropist, who did much for Torah, R' Yitzchak Rosenberg z"l, a leader of our holy kehilla, whose family generously sponsored the seudah, together with the concluding seudah for the completion of the sefer Torah that was brought into our great beis medrash, may Hashem protect it, in his memory. He highlighted his good deeds, especially that he was the first to establish a special hall for Torah learning, the giant "Heichal Tzvi and Yitzchak Rosenberg" in Kiryas Joel. He expressed, "Today is a double simcha, a simcha in the Written Torah and a simcha in the Oral Torah," and concluded with his holy blessings to the donors and askanim and to the entire assembled public.
