At around 7:50 the Rebbe entered the beis medrash for Maariv. The baal tefillah was HaRav R' Dovid Chananya Weiss shlit"a. They finished at around 8:30. The Rebbe went up to the Aron Kodesh and wished the entire congregation "a good Yom Tov, a good and blessed year," and then went home to his holy residence.

Before the tish, the Rebbe lit the Yom Tov candles in his holy residence, and afterwards at around 11:10 went over to the holy table in the Heichal HaShulchanos, where the Rebbe lit the remaining candles.

At around 12:35 the Rebbe shlit"a entered the beis medrash wrapped in the tallis, kapel, and kittel of the Divrei Yoel zy"a. The Rebbe went up to the Aron Kodesh, davened a silent prayer, and began the festive derasha on the verse "Blow the shofar at the new moon." He explained that the shofar is blown three times during the tekios — the sitting tekios, the silent Shemoneh Esrei, and the loud Shemoneh Esrei — to plead that we ourselves be upright and have upright children and grandchildren. He wept at length with awesome crying, "May we merit to see children and grandchildren engaged in Torah and mitzvos." Everyone should tear himself open during the prayers and the blowing of the shofar, that the children and grandchildren not be lost in the difficult trials of the present generation. He concluded with abundant blessings for the entire congregation.
After the derasha the Rebbe recited Kaddish D'Rabbanan. They finished at around 12:55.
Afterwards the Rebbe went up to the bimah. The sifrei Torah were held by R' Chaim Palacsek and R' Aharon Spitzer. The Rebbe recited "Min HaMeitzar," put on a new tallis for the blessing, made the blessings, and blew the sitting tekios with fire of holiness. The baal makri was the Gaon Hagadol, the Av Beis Din shlit"a.

The Rebbe shlit"a approached the Mussaf prayer and said "Hineni He'ani MiMaas." Kaddish was at 1:25. The baal tokea for the standing tekios was HaGaon R' Shlomo Zevel shlit"a, dayan of Beis Medrash Beis Dov.
"Shluchei amcha Beis Yisroel…" As the first day, the prayers were one piece of holy emotion, with weeping from time to time and a voice hewing flames of fire, which stirred the entire heichal of the beis medrash.

Those honored with the openings of the Aron at Mussaf: R' Avrohom Shalom Landau, R' Gershon Mendel Neiman, R' Shlomo Heiman, R' Naftali Lichtenstein.

At the afternoon tish in his holy residence, the Rebbe said a Torah thought on the verse "Blow the shofar at the new moon" and explained that if there were no advocate, two days of Yom Tov would need to be made. The Rebbe recited the blessing over the cup.

After the seudah the Rebbe went to the mikvah in honor of Shabbos Kodesh. Before candle lighting time the Rebbe went over to the Heichal HaShulchanos, where he lit the Shabbos candles; the Rebbe made the blessing and lit the candles, and then went home to his holy residence, where he continued and lit the remaining candles.
