Sunday, Parshas Vayeishev — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris of a newborn son took place for R' Chaim Forgacs, at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in Heichal HaMesivta, Kedushas Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put on tefillin with the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Yoel Ber'tz Kohn (of Williamsburg).
After davening, the Rebbe recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 15, verse 1. Afterward, a lechayim took place with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Rebbe's private room.

In the afternoon, at about 5:10, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

In the evening, the Rebbe shlit"a officiated at kiddushin at the chuppah of the following mechutanim:
R' Yosef Leib Kaufman - R' Yoel Frankel, at Kinor David Hall.
R' Yosef Shmuel Rosenfeld - R' Yitzchak Baruch Mandel, at Beis Rachel Paradise Hall.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Maariv at about 7:30 in the main beis medrash.

At about 8:15, the Rebbe shlit"a arrived at the halls of Keren V'Yoel Moshe, where the private sheva brachos took place, magnificently arranged by the Rebbe shlit"a, for the generous donors who had pledged larger sums for the mikvah tahara that is now being rebuilt and greatly expanded.
Upon arrival, the Rebbe danced in place for several minutes, and then washed for the seudah. HaRav R' Yitzchak Bistritzky shlit"a, president and founder of the UES mikvah, spoke. Then the talented badchan R' Eizik Honig gave enjoyment with song, and also sang emotional compositions in honor of the occasion.
The Rebbe shlit"a delivered words of Torah and spoke about the efforts of the holy Rebbe, the Divrei Yoel zy"a, to increase taharah among Yidden, the importance and great merit of giving money for the mikvah tahara, and concluded with abundant brachos.
For Birkas Hamazon, the Rebbe honored HaRav R' Yitzchak Bistritzky shlit"a; for the first brachos: the father of the kallah, HaGaon Rabbi, the rav of Beis Medrash Beis Baruch, shlit"a; for the final bracha: the father of the chosson, HaRav R' Yoel Teitelbaum shlit"a.
The event ended at about 11:30, and the Rebbe went home to his holy residence.

At about 12:00, the Rebbe shlit"a participated in the simcha of the sheva brachos for the grandson of the Spinka Beis Yitzchak Rebbe shlit"a, at the home of R' Yoel Zabel in the Kiryas Joel area. A fine conversation developed, and the Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessings.
At bentching, the Rebbe was honored with the Sheva Brachos, and afterward went out to dance with the Spinka Rebbe shlit"a, the chosson, and the mechutanim.
