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

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris for a newborn son took place for R' Shlomo Berish Herskowitz, at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in Heichal HaMesivta, Snif Eitz Chaim, Shiur Gimmel. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Yechiel Tzvi Apfel.
During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went to hagbah, and after davening he recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 19, verse 12. Afterwards, a lechayim took place with the bar mitzvah bochur in the heichal of the beis medrash. On this occasion, the talmidim of the yeshiva went over to receive a blessing ahead of their trip to the holy places in Europe. The Rebbe inquired about the details of the trip and distributed shlichus mitzvah money to the bochurim.

During the morning hours, the Rebbe was on his weekly visit to the choice bakery of our holy kehilla.

In the afternoon at around 6:30, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

The time for receiving the public at the Rebbe's holy home on Uhel Court was from around 8:15 until 12:30 after midnight.

During the reception, at around 9:50, the Rebbe shlit"a went over to the home of HaRav HaChassid R' Meir Hirsch, where the first of a series of gatherings with philanthropists took place toward the completion of the building of the girls' school Bnos Eretz Yisroel Beis Pesha in Bnei Brak, may it be established.
HaRav HaChassid R' Meir spoke about the expansion of the boundaries of holiness of Mosdos Yitav Lev in Eretz Yisroel, and especially in Bnei Brak. Afterwards, HaRav HaChassid R' Avrohom Yoshe Glanz, a member of the building fund committee, spoke and presented a detailed report on the progress of the construction work on the building, enumerating the funds that have already been raised and the funds that still need to be raised.
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and delivered words of Torah about the tremendous privilege of being able to give money to Mosdos Yitav Lev, and about the history of this holy institution, which the Rebbe z"l founded on Erev Yom Kippur. He spoke in praise of the esteemed philanthropists and concluded with abundant blessings for the entire assembly. Afterwards, the philanthropists went over to hand the larger donations to the Rebbe shlit"a, and the Rebbe personally wished each one abundant blessings.
At around 10:30, the Rebbe left the gathering and returned to his holy home to continue receiving the public.

During the reception, the bochur Mordechai Efraim Fishel, son of R' Yisroel Simcha Landau, presented himself for an examination before the Rebbe shlit"a on five hundred pages of Gemara.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 12:30.
