Tuesday, Parshas Vayishlach — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Etz Chaim branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
The twins, sons of R' Yekusiel Menashe Wertzberger.
The bochur Zalman Leib Felberbaum.
The bochur Yosef Tuvia Gedalia Zicherman.

After davening, the Rebbe recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 19, verse 8. Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Heichal of the beis medrash.

In the afternoon, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a went up to the Heichal HaYeshiva, Kedushas Yoel branch, where the Rebbe learned with a chavrusa from among the talmidim of the yeshiva in his private room. At around 5:10 the Rebbe davened Mincha in the yeshiva.

In the evening, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a traveled into Williamsburg for the weekly reception hours.

Upon arriving in Williamsburg, the Rebbe went to the Beis Rochel building, the Riesenfeld building on Sanford Street, and went in to view the work being done to complete the new, magnificent wedding hall called 'Gineis Esther,' which is currently in the final phase of decoration and will eventually, b'ezras Hashem, serve for beautiful weddings, for the simcha of our community, at an upscale yet affordable standard.

The Rebbe viewed the entire hall and the work being done, and received a report from the energetic administrator R' Yoel Weltz together with the contractor R' Yitzchak Berkowitz on how much work remains to be completed with splendor and glory in time for the coming wedding season, when reservations will begin to be accepted b'siyata d'Shmaya. The Rebbe bestowed his holy blessing for success.

The reception hours in Kiryas Joel ran from around 8:30 until 12:05 at night, in the Rebbe's holy home on Hughes St.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 10:55, and afterwards continued receiving the public.

After the reception hours, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a went to a lechayim celebration at the home of HaGaon Rabbi Meir Halberstam shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Kshanov and moreh tzedek in our magnificent beis medrash in the Brach building, on the occasion of the wedding of his daughter, mazel tov.
A pleasant conversation ensued; the Rebbe drank lechayim and warmly bestowed his holy blessings upon the chosson, the mechutanim, and the entire family.

Then, at around 12:30, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a traveled to Boro Park for the wedding simcha of the chosson, grandson of the distinguished, devoted R' Menashe Horowitz shlit"a, rav of the Ligelitz beis medrash, and a grandson of the holy Rebbe, the Etz Chaim zy"a.

At around 12:50 the Rebbe arrived at the wedding simcha in the halls of Ateres Chai. The Rebbe drank lechayim and wished mazel tov to the chosson, the mechutanim and all the grandfathers. Then the badchan, R' Pinchas Mordechai Weber, called the Rebbe up to the mitzvah tantz. The Rebbe danced the mitzvah tantz before the kallah, and afterwards danced with the chosson, the grandfathers and the mechutanim.

At around 1:10 the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a traveled home to his holy residence in Kiryas Joel.
