The night of the 6th of Chanukah, 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

At the time of Rabbeinu Tam, the Rebbe davened Maariv in his holy home. Before Maariv, the bochur Elimelech, son of Yoshe Leib Stein, lit the menorah.

At around 9:10, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a entered the Beis Medrash HaGadol for the lighting of the Chanukah candles, amid a large crowd, "the glory of a king." The Rebbe poured in the oil and recited the blessings over the lighting.
Afterwards the Rebbe recited the zemiros, and inspiring melodies were sung, and the choir sang the piyutim as is customary.
Afterwards the Rebbe shlit"a delivered holy words of derush and pilpul on the sugya in Maseches Shabbos regarding "kevsa zokuk lah," and then continued in the way of aggadah, saying that even if a Jew, chas v'shalom, has no merits, when there is unity, the blessings of the other Jews flow over onto him, and he is blessed with all good things, and concluded with his holy blessing.
After the holy words, the singing of nigunim continued. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessings. It ended at around 10:25.

Afterwards the Rebbe shlit"a went over to Mivtzar HaKollelim for the annual inspirational gathering of the "Leil Shishi Group." Several inspiring melodies were sung, and HaRav R' Hershel Kohn shlit"a spoke. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the entire assembly well, and delivered holy words of inspiration, saying that from Chanukah we see the greatness of a true longing for a mitzvah. The Rebbe also spoke in praise of the group, and concluded with his holy blessing. It ended at around 10:55.
