Monday, Parshas Vayechi

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris was held for the newborn son of R' Nachman Glick, at which the Rebbe served as sandek.

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Divrei Yoel branch. During the Torah reading the Rebbe was called up as Shlishi, and after davening he recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 9, verse 11.

During the morning hours, a gathering was held in the Rebbe's holy home with all the administrators of our holy mosdos throughout Greater New York, together with various askanim and communal activists on behalf of the future of chinuch. They discussed and reviewed with great seriousness the details of the decrees against chinuch and the technical specifics of not taking any step from the 7 petitions and not responding to the government. The Rebbe shlit"a bestowed from his holy blessing that they should continue to succeed in completely nullifying the decree.

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

In the evening the Rebbe shlit"a officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the following mechutanim:
R' Shlomo Dovid Yechezkel Greenfeld – HaRav R' Shmuel Eckstein shlit"a, at Kinor Dovid hall.
R' Chaim Weiss – R' Yitzchak Menashe Steinfeld, at Beis Rachel Paradise hall.

In the Rebbe's holy home an urgent gathering was held with the heads of the administration of the Yesod Lev institutions in Eretz Yisroel, together with the leading askanim. The Rebbe shlit"a demanded that in every way the amounts of support sent from the American office to the holy mosdos in Eretz Yisroel be increased. The Rebbe pointed out that the younger generation must be awakened further to the obligation of Satmar talmidim to generously support the holy Yesod Lev institutions in Eretz Yisroel, which were the apple of the eye of our holy Rebbes zy"a.

Entry times to the Rebbe were from about 7:40 until 12:30 at night, in the Rebbe's holy home on Uhel Court.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim at the tenaim held in his holy home of the mechutanim R' Yoel Friedrich – R' Avrohom Palacsek.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 11:40, and afterward continued receiving the public.

HaGaon R' Yehuda Deutsch shlit"a, a mashpia of Breslov in Eretz Yisroel, visited the Rebbe during entry times. A longer conversation developed in matters of Torah and chassidus. Among other things, the host, HaRav R' Shalom Yitzchak Jacobowitz of Eretz Yisroel, showed the Rebbe a siddur of the Rashash that had belonged to the holy Rebbe, the Divrei Yoel zy"a. The Rebbe gave him a gift of his sefer Lev Aharon on Maseches Avos and bestowed from his holy blessing.

After entry times, at around 12:35, the Rebbe shlit"a went over to the home of his son, HaGaon Rabbi, the Rav of Beis Medrash Beis Boruch shlit"a, for the Vach Nacht celebration of his grandson, the newborn son of his son-in-law Rabbi Boruch Teitelbaum shlit"a. A pleasant conversation developed about various customs of Vach Nacht of our holy Rebbes of the Atzei HaTemarim family zy"a and more. The Rebbe drank lechayim, tasted some refreshments and fish, and wished the baal simcha, the grandfathers, and the entire gathering well. Afterward the Rebbe recited Krias Shema and blessed the mothers as is customary. The gathering ended at around 1:15.
