A Shabbos of Simcha — "Shabbos Sheva Brachos in the Courts of Our Holy Ones" of the chosson, the youngest son of our teacher HaGaon, Av Beis Din and Rosh Yeshiva shlit"a, the firstborn son of the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, "B'tzeil HaKodesh," among our holy kehilla in Williamsburg.

The Shabbos Sheva Brachos seudah took place in the Krasna hall, headed by our teacher HaGaon, the Rav shlit"a.

At around 10:00 the Rebbe entered the tish in the Heichal of the great beis medrash. The Rebbe honored the grandson, the bochur Yisroel Dushinsky, with Eishes Chayil. The Rebbe honored the father of the kallah's sons with the zemiros: "Kol Mekadesh" — Rabbi Yisroel Horowitz shlit"a, "Menucha V'simcha" — Rabbi Shmelka Horowitz shlit"a, "Yah Echsof" — Rabbi Shalom Horowitz shlit"a. The Rebbe also honored HaGaon R' Chaim Meir Ehrenster shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Vizhnitz Manchester, to sing "Rachem B'chasdecha."

Bentching: the mechutan, HaGaon, Rosh Yeshiva of Beis Meir shlit"a; first brachos: the father of the kallah, HaGaon, Av Beis Din of Linsk shlit"a; last bracha: the chosson's mechutan HaGaon, Rav of Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek shlit"a.

The Rebbe shlit"a related stories of holy tzaddikim for an extended time about the holy R' R' Hersh of Rimanov zy"a, whose yahrzeit falls on 30 Cheshvan. The Rebbe said, "This year there is no 30 Cheshvan, but about R' R' Hersh one can tell stories even without a yahrzeit."

"Kah Ribon Olam": Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Horowitz of Bnei Brak.

After the fruit, Rabbi Mordechai Dovid Oestreicher, the royal badchan, called the Rebbe to the mitzvah tantz. The Rebbe fulfilled the holy service and danced the mitzvah tantz with fiery holy sparks before the kallah and with the chosson. Afterwards, the grandfather, HaGaon, Rosh Yeshiva of Beis Meir shlit"a, danced. Then our teacher HaGaon, Av Beis Din shlit"a, the father of the chosson, performed the fiery, uplifting mitzvah tantz. Afterwards, the father of the kallah, HaGaon, Av Beis Din of Linsk shlit"a, danced.

The Rebbe honored Rabbi Elimelech Horowitz with the "seventh day," and they danced in a circle in the middle of the beis medrash. It ended at 12:50.

On Motzei Shabbos, an elegant, lavish Sheva Brachos took place, arranged by "the alumni of the students of the Rav shlit"a from Antwerp" in honor of the Rav shlit"a, held in a lavish hall in New Jersey. Also present was HaGaon R' Yoel Teitelbaum shlit"a, Rav of Beis Medrash Beis Baruch, son of the Rebbe shlit"a, one of the Rav shlit"a's students in Antwerp. The Rav shlit"a spoke with divrei Torah and words of guidance. Among others who spoke was HaRav HaTzaddik R' Chaim Hersh T"B shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Maharsha Ratzfert, about the connection of the Rav to his students. Afterwards, a panel took place among the students.

"We cannot thank and praise enough" for the Yom Tov-like days we merited. The entire days of simcha in the courts of our holy ones will be remembered for a long time and will accompany whoever merited to take part. "Enough for us are these days" — it is impossible to express the holy feelings and the excitement of the multitudes of participants. May it be Hashem's will that from this simcha abundant blessing flow to us and to all Israel.

"Rejoice and be glad in the simcha of our Rebbe and his firstborn son, HaGaon the Rav shlit"a. Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright of heart."
