"The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone"

This coming Sunday, Parshas Vayeitzei, "How awesome is this place", following the historic Shabbos Toldos in the city of the Avos, Sighet during the Holy Journey of "And I shall return in peace to my father's house," the emotional ceremony of laying the cornerstone will take place for the new large building, "the Heichal of the beis medrash, a large mikvah, and rooms for hosting guests," which will be built adjacent to and in view of the holy tzion of Rabbeinu Moshe, the man of God, the Yismach Moshe zy"a, in the city of Uhel, by the "Va'ad HaTzion HaKadosh" under the auspices of the Chevra Kadisha of our holy kehilla. This is in addition to the existing renovated building, which is already too small to contain the crowds.

The great ceremony of the laying of the cornerstone will take place in the presence of a large crowd of chassidim and men of deeds, the hundreds of generous donors and prominent people who will take part in the Holy Journey, as well as a large gathering of our members living in Europe who will have the opportunity to participate in the gatherings in the ohel. It will be headed by the great leader of the flock, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, who continues with strength and courage the golden chain of the leaders and luminaries of the generations of the house of "Etzei HaTemarim," which stretches back to the head of the holy lineage, the holy Yismach Moshe zy"a.

In these days, important preparations are being made to set up the event in great splendor and glory, and to arrange all the necessary accommodations to receive the large crowd who will, IY"H, take part in this uplifting experience.

"Great shall be the glory of this house" — Creator of the world, may this building be completed in full
