Report
The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a spoke at length today at the central Sheva Brachos celebration in our holy courts in the great beis medrash in Williamsburg, expressing praise of the kehilla: "It is a pleasure for me when I come to the kehilla here in Williamsburg, a pleasant and chassidic kehilla." He spoke strongly about expanding the boundaries of holiness within the kehilla in the city.

Afterward, the Rebbe recalled many achievements that began in the beis medrash on Hooper Street: "Here on this spot, even before there was a building, when it was still a tent, the group 'Yesodei HaTorah' was founded. There were those at the time who laughed at the whole idea; today no one laughs anymore. All the kehillos have copied it. Who says it openly and who is ashamed to say so? Baruch Hashem, on the contrary, let everyone copy; many good things have been copied. For more than ten years I said here in this place that the wheat is very weak. They shouted me down, saying, 'He is changing the tradition.' They harvested wheat this year not from Long Island. Not because no more wheat grows, but because they are ashamed to admit the truth that Yidden were given weak wheat for years. And most of the matzos of such-and-such bakery now come from California, which neighbors Arizona. I kept silent the whole time because I knew the truth would surface. How long can they bluff? Thank the Holy Creator, I have a share in it. Many good things are first shouted down, and afterward people do them."

He concluded with strong holy blessings to his firstborn son, his beloved and esteemed son, HaGaon HaTzaddik, the Av Beis Din shlit"a, on the occasion of the simcha, and to the mechutanim, grandfathers, chosson, and the entire community.
Report
At the central Sheva Brachos today in our holy courts in the great beis medrash in Williamsburg, the father of the chosson, our teacher HaGaon HaTzaddik, Av Beis Din and Rosh Yeshiva shlit"a, spoke at length with heart-rending words. With a voice choked with tears, the Rav recalled the difficult days that passed over Klal Yisroel, and especially over his mother, the Rebbetzin, the righteous woman tlita, who was in a very critical condition. With Hashem's kindness, the Rebbetzin was able to attend the simcha. He offered praise and thanks to the Ribbono shel Olam that the youngest child was married off in the lifetime of the parents, something that neither the father nor the grandfathers, going back up to R' Elazar Nissan, merited.

A majestic scene unfolded when the Rav offered praise and thanks that today the Rav merited the completion of the holy sefer "Yitev Lev," which his grandfather, the Beirach Moshe zt"y, had asked the Rav to reprint. On the instruction of a gaon, one of the leading poskim of our generation, a rav of Kiryas Joel shlit"a, the Rav proclaimed the blessing "Shehecheyanu" with Hashem's Name and Kingship, "Shehecheyanu v'kiyemanu v'higiyanu lazman hazeh," feeling the will of his grandfather. The Beirach Moshe zy"a had given the Rav the first 5,000 dollars and written a letter of encouragement. In addition, the Rav presented, as a minchas bikkurim, the first copy of the printing to his father, the Rebbe shlit"a, who examined it for an extended time.
Report
HaGaon HaTzaddik R' Naftali Hirtzka Zwebel shlit"a, the Rosh Hakahal, in his address today at the central Sheva Brachos in our holy courts in the great beis medrash in Williamsburg, expressed the feelings of the thousands of chassidim who merited to experience the historic, grand wedding. He described each moment individually, comparing it to one of the Yamim Tovim, "especially the exalted mitzvah dance to the holy Hakafos." He said: "May the Rebbe be healthy. He arranged the Hakafos here at the mitzvah dance, and Yidden felt as if it were Hakafos. It is Hakafos of Cheshvan, and we want Hakafos of Tishrei from the Rebbe." He continued: "When he is wrapped in his tallis, 'his appearance is like an angel of God,' and we must go through the trials here. The only thing that holds us back, so that we can endure it, is seeing the angel of God wrapped in his tallis, holding the Sefer Torah with awesome weeping, arousing concern for the sanctity of Yisroel. That stands us up and gives us strength for an entire year."
