Thursday, Parshas Shemos — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in Heichal HaMesivta, Beirach Moshe branch. Before davening, the Rebbe helped the bar mitzvah bochurim put on tefillin:
the bochur Yoel Rosenberg.
the bochur Moshe Yosef Ehrenfeld.
During the Torah reading the Rebbe went up for hagbah, and after davening he delivered a shiur on a sugya in the yeshiva's shiurim. Afterwards a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in his private room.

In the afternoon, at around 5:30, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

Entry to the Rebbe's room for private audiences ran from around 7:30 until 11:20 at night, in his holy home on Ohel Court.

At around 8:00 the Rebbe went down to the hall in his holy home, where a gathering took place for the dozens of askanim who have undertaken to raise greater funds for the new mikvah tahara in Kiryas Joel. The Rebbe heard a report from the mikvah tahara's administration and reviewed the plans going forward. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and spoke words of Torah and inspiration about the importance of giving and raising money for the purity of Klal Yisroel, and emphasized the necessity of expanding the mikvah tahara for many years to come, as well as the enormous sums that still need to be raised to complete the mikvah in full. The Rebbe encouraged the askanim to raise greater sums and concluded with abundant blessings for all the askanim.

Also entering the Rebbe's room were the talmidim of the yeshiva gedolah, fourth-year shiur, together with the roshei hayeshiva, ahead of their trip to the holy places in Europe. The Rebbe reviewed the details of the trip, bestowed his holy blessings, and distributed shlichus mitzvah money to the bochurim.

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim in the tenaim hall in his holy home for the following mechutanim:
R' Yoel Weider - R' Shabsi Yitzchak Rosenberg.
R' Yaakov Teller (of Williamsburg) - R' Yoel Friedman.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 11:20.
