How Lovely Upon the Mountains

The "Mamleches HaTorah" of Satmar Williamsburg is building a majestic, grand structure on a newly purchased, giant property in Monticello, for the new camp "Machane Chochmas HaTorah," for the benefit and comfort of the more than 100 yeshiva students and to gladden the hearts of the members of the kehilla.

Machane Chochmas HaTorah is one of the 5 institutions of the Satmar "yeshiva ketana" empire in Williamsburg, where "550 choice bochurim" toil in Torah and avodah under the guidance of distinguished marbitzei Torah and the hanhala of Mamleches HaTorah. All of it is accompanied with a watchful eye by our teacher HaGaon HaTzaddik, the Av Beis Din and Rosh Yeshiva of Womsb"g shlit"a.

For this coming summer season, the huge property was purchased for the yeshiva, as is the case with the other yeshivos within Mamleches HaTorah, and a spacious beis medrash hall, a magnificent mikvah, a Shabbos kitchen, classrooms for learning Torah, and more are being built. There the bochurim will be engaged in Torah and avodah and will grow in Torah and yiras Shamayim throughout the summer months, set apart from the impure streets.

Buy a "Shabbos Dira" - for the day that is entirely Shabbos - "on the mountains"..

At the same time, the massive "Al HaHarim" campaign has been launched to cover the purchase and construction costs, which amounted to over two and a half million dollars. Members of the kehilla will join and acquire merits in the new building. Get in touch with the Mamleches HaTorah askanim, R' Moshe Yuda Goldberger and R' Yaakov Teller.

May the Creator of the world complete this building in full

=Wednesday=

At around 8:45 the Rebbe came in to Shacharis at the Beis Medrash Kahal Yereim.

During the morning hours the Rebbe went for a walk in the countryside, where wonderful conversations were held in Torah and Chassidus, holy customs and stories of tzaddikim, and on topics of the day. They spoke about eruvei chatzeros, about the new prime minister of the heretics and the Zionist state, about expanding the borders of holiness among the chareidi Jewish community and especially in the city of righteousness, Kiryas Joel. They also spoke about the tragedy in Florida and about the halachic matters in such a case, when one observes a yahrzeit and the like. The Rebbe discussed the Magen Avraham that "a person is presumed to be alive," relating a story of R' Avrohom Yitzchak Hoyer z"l, who went off to New Hampshire and was only found three days later, and the yahrzeit is observed on the third day because "a person is presumed to be alive." He also discussed how this differs from a "collapse" (mapoles) in which people fell. Afterwards they spoke about the decree against chinuch in New York, about the path of the battle and the developments, and also about the elections in New York and what they can accomplish for the benefit of chinuch.

They also spoke about the travels of our holy Rebbes zy"a to rest, about walks, and about R' Yonason Eybeschutz zy"a regarding Chassidus, about a blessing when one sees mountains, and about the whole course of sunset and the times. Afterwards they spoke about observing "the time of Rabbeinu Tam," especially on Motzei Shabbos and even on a fast day, as is the local custom, "especially in Kiryas Joel," where it is one kehilla, the difficulty of transgressing it, and the problems this brings.

At about 8:30, the Rebbe came to Shacharis in the Kahal Yireim beis medrash. During davening the Rebbe did not say Tachanun, but said Tefilla L'Dovid, and did not say the "Yehi Ratzon" after Tehillim, as was the custom of his uncle, the Rebbe zy"a, when the Rebbe would be away resting. After davening, people went to greet the Rebbe.

"Those who hope in Hashem will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles." During the morning hours the Rebbe went for a walk in the countryside, where he held wonderful conversations in Torah and Chassidus, holy customs and stories of tzaddikim, and matters of current concern, a walk that was "like cold water to a weary soul," which will not be forgotten by the participants.

=Tuesday=

At about 8:45, the Rebbe came to Shacharis in the Kahal Yireim beis medrash. Before davening the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Yisroel Henoch Kraus of Kiryas Joel. After davening a lechayim gathering took place in the hall of the beis medrash, where a long, wonderful conversation was held with the Rebbe's chavrusa, HaGaon Rabbi, Av Beis Din of Rosh Chochmah shlit"a, and HaGaon R' Wolf Aharon Teller, director of Mivtzar HaKollelim in Kiryas Joel. They discussed beautiful topics in Torah and the customs of making a Shehecheyanu blessing at a bar mitzvah. The Rebbe related a story about his ancestor, the holy Yetev Lev zy"a, and said that it is not one's own enjoyment, and that "every day it is with extra freshness." They also discussed topics of blessings over enjoyments, time-bound positive commandments, and preparation for a mitzvah, and more. The Rebbe also related the question that arose last year on the seventh day of Pesach after the Rebbetzin tlit"a came home from the hospital and had already come upstairs in the morning, baruch Hashem, but had not yet heard the Kiddush of the night of Yom Tov nor made a Shehecheyanu. The Rebbe instructed a grandson to make the Kiddush of the night "with a Shehecheyanu" so as to fulfill the obligation of the Rebbetzin, saying that he must make a Shehecheyanu "for the joy of seeing the grandmother come home after being in the hospital for a longer time."
On the way out, the Rebbe looked at the construction work enlarging the beis medrash because of the great number of people, bli ayin hara, who come to take part in the radiant Shabbosos b'tzeil hakodesh in New Hampshire. On the way home the Rebbe inquired of the owners of "Sherman's Hotel" about the hotel, where many chassidim are staying while spending time b'tzeil hakodesh in New Hampshire. They also discussed the custom of the Divrei Yoel zy"a not to say Tachanun when away from home.
