Shabbos Parshas Bamidbar, Mevarchim Chodesh Sivan — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, in our holy kehilla in Williamsburg

On Friday night at around 8:40 the Rebbe shlit"a entered the beis medrash wrapped in his tallis and approached the amud for Mincha and Kabbalas Shabbos. HaGaon Rabbi Meir Halberstam shlit"a, dayan of our beis medrash in the Brach building, davened. They finished at around . The congregation went over for a longer time to wish a gut Shabbos, and the Rebbe went into his private room.

At around 10:50 the Rebbe shlit"a entered the pure tish in Heichal Tehillos Yehosef together with close to 200 talmidim of Shiur Gimmel from all the branches of the yeshivos ketanos, and began, in his holy way, Shalom Aleichem with emotion and sweetness.

Before the fish, the Rebbe shlit"a said Torah to the bochurim on the Midrash "When Hashem gave the Torah to Israel, the nations of the world were jealous of them," as an encouragement to learn Torah with diligence. When one learns Torah, one derives tremendous pleasure, and therefore there are no complaints or protests. He mentioned the learning schedule of Shavuos in the morning, two hours before davening, and he invited the bochurim: "V'sa'adu libchem — come and fortify your hearts" through learning Torah.

During the zemiros the Rebbe shlit"a honored the menahalim of the yeshivos: Kol Mekadesh: HaGaon HaTzaddik Rabbi Hershel Ashkenazi shlit"a, menahel of the Be'er HaTorah branch; Menucha V'Simcha: HaGaon Rabbi Pinchas Schlesinger shlit"a, menahel of our holy yeshiva in London.

The Rebbe shlit"a said Torah on the connection between the end of Sefer Vayikra and the beginning of Sefer Bamidbar, and explained it with a longer derush, layer upon layer. From time to time he reminded the bochurim to put their minds to it so as to be able to follow.

Kah Echsof: HaGaon Rabbi Nosson Nata Moskowitz shlit"a, menahel of the Mivtzar HaTorah branch. Birchas Hamazon: the HaGaon HaTzaddik, Av Beis Din of Williamsburg shlit"a.

In the afternoon at around 7:10 the Rebbe shlit"a entered to learn Pirkei Avos in the great beis medrash, which was packed with an enormous crowd of thousands of men.
The Rebbe shlit"a spoke on Perek 6, Mishnah 3, "One who learns from his fellow even a single letter," and explained it with words of derush and aggadah. He began with an explanation that Jewish children merit that their Torah is fruitful and multiplies: a single letter can be expounded in many ways when the letter is in holiness and purity. He also explained the mishnah, in the order of Alef-Beis from Alef to Yud, with 16 approaches, which refer to various matters in preparation for receiving the Torah. He continued with words of mussar on "sanctify yourself in what is permitted to you," on spending Yom Tov of Shavuos in a chassidic manner, and on guarding the eyes during the summer days.

He explained that Jews merit Hashem's love, and even when one does teshuva out of fear with his whole heart, Hashem bestows love upon him as a gift, since they are engaged in tzedakah and chesed.
