Night of the first day of Chanukah — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

At the time of Rabbeinu Tam, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a davened Maariv in his holy home. Before Maariv, R' Berel Stein lit the menorah.

At around 9:05, the Rebbe shlit"a entered the Heichal of the Great Beis Medrash in Kiryas Joel for the Chanukah candle lighting, amid a large crowd, in royal splendor. The Rebbe poured in the oil and recited the brachos with fiery fervor.
The Rebbe then recited the zemiros, and inspiring melodies were sung. The choir sang the piyutim as customary, and R' Moshe Levi Brown delighted the crowd with chazzanus on the piyut of Yevanim.

The Rebbe shlit"a then delivered holy words of Torah discourse and pilpul on the sugya in Maseches Shabbos of "kivsa zakuk lah." He then continued with words of aggadah about the severe ugliness of indulging in the desires of this world, and cautioned not to be dragged after the desires of America, concluding with his holy blessing.

After the holy words, the singing of melodies continued. The Rebbe continued his holy words by relating a story about his grandfather, the holy Yitav Lev zy"a, concerning indulging in desires. The Rebbe then drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessings. It ended at around 10:20.
