In the morning hours, the Rebbe shlit"a paid a visit to our kehilla's matzah bakery. The Rebbe observed the work, accompanied by the bakery's manager, R' Boruch Yuda Spitzer, and was present for the baking process. Afterwards, at the oven, the Rebbe separated challah, and then went to look around the storage area and the flour department, where the Rebbe observed the system of grinding the wheat and sifting the flour.

From there the Rebbe went over to the building of our new beis medrash, Lev Aharon, where the Rebbe looked over the construction work with great satisfaction and heard a report from the members of the building fund's board, R' Aharon Weiss, R' Chaim Hersh Schwartz and R' Yoel Lefkowitz, and especially from the devoted, esteemed askanim for the completion of the building, R' Chaim Hersh Segedin and R' Yoel Friedman. The Rebbe walked about, exerting himself physically, and observed the floors of the beis medrash building and the mikvah. He expressed his hope to see the beis medrash built in splendor, the sixth beis medrash of our holy kehilla in Williamsburg, and bestowed from his holy blessing that the construction be completed successfully, and a blessing for success that the necessary funds to cover the project be raised with ease.

Afterwards, the Rebbe paid a shiva call to the family of R' Yisroel Yakov a"h.

Yechidus hours were from around 8:00 until 11:10 at night, in his holy residence on Hewes St.

At around 9:10 the Rebbe shlit"a went down to Beis Medrash Eitz Chaim Sighet for the Sheva Brachos celebration in our holy courts, arranged by the mispallelim of the beis medrash in honor of the Rebbe shlit"a and his son, the HaGaon Av Beis Din of Sighet shlit"a. The HaGaon Av Beis Din of Sighet shlit"a continued with his address. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the chosson, the mechutanim, and the entire gathering well, delivered a few words of Torah on the topic of the simcha of chosson and kallah, and concluded with his holy blessing. Afterwards, the Rebbe joined in a dance with the chosson and with the HaGaon Av Beis Din of Sighet shlit"a.
The Rebbe then went back up to his holy residence and continued receiving the public.

After yechidus hours, the Rebbe shlit"a traveled to Boro Park for the wedding of a grandchild of the Beirach Moshe zy"a. The chosson is the son of the HaGaon Rabbi Shlomo Rubin shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Cieszanów, Kiryas Joel, son of the HaGaon Av Beis Din of Cieszanów shlit"a and son-in-law of the HaGaon Av Beis Din of Montreal shlit"a. The kallah is the daughter of HaRav R' Zalman Leib Meisels shlit"a, a moreh d'asra in our holy kehilla in Boro Park, son of the HaGaon Av Beis Din of Boro Park shlit"a.

The badchan, HaRav R' Mordechai Dovid Oesterreicher, called the Rebbe shlit"a to the mitzvah tanz. The Rebbe shlit"a honored the holy dancing and danced the mitzvah tanz before the kallah, and afterwards danced with the chosson and mechutanim, and with his brothers-in-law, the HaGaon Av Beis Din of Boro Park and the Av Beis Din of Montreal shlit"a, and with the Spinka Rebbe shlit"a.
On the way out, the Rebbe shlit"a wished the kallah mazel tov, as is customary.

After the wedding, the Rebbe shlit"a went over to our holy kehilla's new, magnificently completed butcher shop on 13th Ave, under the leadership of R' Yoel Landau. The Rebbe listened with satisfaction to a report from R' Yoel and looked around for an extended time in all the departments on both floors of the entire store, and warmly wished R' Yoel much success and siyata d'Shmaya going forward.
Afterwards, the Rebbe shlit"a returned to his holy residence in Kiryas Joel.
