This morning, before Shacharis, the bris of the newborn son of R' Yosef Leib Braun took place, at which the Rebbe shlit"a was honored with sandekaus and mohel duties.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta "Beirach Moshe Branch." Before davening, the Rebbe shlit"a put on tefillin with the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Yoel Englander. After davening, a lechayim celebration was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in his private room.

Last night, Motzei Shabbos, after the dinner for the benefit of our holy mosdos in Kiryas Joel, the Rebbe shlit"a went over to the new office of the dear young man, energetic askan R' Yissachar Ber Davidowitz, who purchased a classroom in one of the mosdos buildings. The Rebbe first affixed the mezuzah, then drank lechayim and signed the documents, and warmly wished the donor and his family well.

Afterwards the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a delivered holy words, and after the Torah thoughts he spoke about the strong bond of our holy Rebbes, the Divrei Yoel and the Beirach Moshe zy"a, to the holy mosdos in Kiryas Joel, and about the importance of strengthening the holy mosdos.

Afterwards the Rebbe shlit"a spoke at length in praise of the melamdim, and called on the parents to show hakaras hatov to the melamdim and the teachers of holy subjects. In doing so, he encouraged all those employed in the mosad.

The Rebbe also spoke about the importance of purchasing a classroom in the mosdos buildings, "a Shabbos dira" until the day that is entirely Shabbos, and expressed his heartfelt feelings that in all the magnificent buildings being built in Kiryas Joel, both for the chinuch of boys and for the chinuch of girls, the generous donors have bought up 'all the classrooms,' and for now there are no more classrooms available to buy and spoke about the expansion of the borders of kedusha through the magnificent buildings that are going to be built for the mosdos, in which it will be possible to buy more classrooms. He then asked all those who have purchased a classroom, which is their home, "to take upon themselves to cover the expenses of the classroom that they have donated, just as one covers the expenses of one's own house," and concluded with his holy blessing.

Afterwards the Rebbe shlit"a spoke at length about the difficult apartment situation in Kiryas Joel, and the Rebbe said that this is a temporary matter and is going to change, since there is hope that soon hundreds of apartments will be renovated in the Yoel Moshe neighborhood, and later in the Beirach Moshe neighborhood and the Divrei Yoel neighborhood, so that, b'ezras Hashem, within two years there will be a total of about two thousand apartments. He issued a "holy proclamation" to all the residents of Kiryas Joel that no one should buy now, but should wait patiently until the current shortage of apartments passes, and that we should not actively help push prices up.

Afterwards the Rebbe concluded his holy words with warm words of blessing for the mosdos administration and for the entire community. The Rebbe drank lechayim and distributed shirayim to the donors and the mosdos administration. It ended at around 12:30.

"And they multiplied and grew exceedingly, exceedingly" — "And your seed shall be like the dust of the earth, which cannot be counted for multitude"

On Motzei Shabbos the grand annual Hirbus dinner for the benefit of our holy mosdos in Kiryas Joel took place, with its more than eleven thousand talmidim and talmidos, bli ayin hara, may they continue to multiply, in the gigantic Beis Rochel Auditorium, with the participation of thousands of residents of Kiryas Joel, headed by the rabbanim and dayanim of the city, and at their head the holy Mara d'Asra and Nasi of the holy mosdos, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a.

This was followed by a very rich "Holech V'Nosea" panel about the transportation of the mosdos between R' Yoel Palatschek and HaRav Moshe Aryeh Gutman shlit"a, moderated by the esteemed R' Yitzchak Shlomo Dresdner.

At around 10:40 the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a arrived at the event. Upon his arrival, they danced for several minutes to "Chasdei Hashem," in honor of the day of the miraculous rescue of the holy Rebbe, the Divrei Yoel zt"l, coming up on 21 Kislev.

Afterwards, the chairman of the event, the Rebbe's grandson HaGaon R' Moshe Meisels shlit"a, continued with the program. Then R' Meir Hirsch, director of the mosdos, spoke on behalf of the mosdos. He gave a longer address about the financial situation and the incredible budget of the holy mosdos, and he noted that the holy mosdos began the year with as many as 11 thousand children, bli ayin hara, and are now almost entering 12 thousand, may they continue to multiply, with as many as 1,100 employees.

R' Meir then spoke about the dramatic expansion of the holy mosdos' borders, and announced that in the coming school year, IY"H, the magnificent and splendid "Binyan Klein" building for the talmud torah will be inaugurated, b'ezras Hashem. He then proclaimed that R' Shimon Moshe Kepetch, a member of the mosdos' administration, purchased the naming rights to the new Yeshiva Ketana building on Carlsburg, which will be inaugurated, b'ezras Hashem, this coming summer, IY"H.

He then announced that in the coming days, preparations are under way to begin construction of yet another magnificent building for the Beis Rochel division of our holy mosdos. It will consist of as many as one hundred thousand square feet, to keep up with the growth and expansion of the thousands of talmidim and talmidos, may they continue to multiply. The building will be located right next to the "Beis Rochel Complex" with all its buildings, and the gigantic building will also have another magnificent wedding hall for the benefit of the thousands of residents of the city.

He then read out the names of the dozens of distinguished benefactors who contributed larger sums for the benefit of the mosdos, among them R' Yitzchak Markowitz, who purchased the naming rights to a gate in the Beis Rochel building, the Leah Esther building, for $125,000.
