On Erev Yom Tov in the afternoon hours, the Rebbe bound the lulav and said the yehi ratzon as is customary, and before candle lighting made an eruv tavshilin.

In the evening at around 7:00, the Rebbe entered the beis medrash wrapped in his tallis. Mincha: HaGaon Rabbi Akiva Yosef Kahana shlit"a, son-in-law of the Spinka Beis Yitzchak Rebbe shlit"a. Maariv: R' Dovid Eckstein. They finished at around 7:55.
After davening, the congregation went over to wish a good Yom Tov, and the Rebbe went home to his holy home.

At around 10:50, the Rebbe entered the pure table in the large sukkah. The Rebbe recited a blessing, lit the Yom Tov candles, invited the ushpizin and said the tefillah for the first night, and sat down, as is customary, at the words of the Haggadah-like text (tivu tivu).
Raising the cup for Kiddush: HaGaon Rabbi Avrohom Wolf Friedman shlit"a.
The ushpizin sponsors set out wine and brought kugels, and the Rebbe distributed shirayim to the ushpizin sponsors.

During the zemiros, the Rebbe honored R' Avrohom Yuda Rosenberg.

The Rebbe shlit"a said Torah on the Midrash, "You said, 'and rest yourselves under the tree'—by your life, I will repay your children with the mitzvah of sukkah," and explained that through the power of Avrohom Avinu, who rooted the attribute of chesed, the Jewish people merited the Clouds of Glory even without a prior request, and this continues to this very day: Jews are helped with everything they need even before they ask.

Birkas Hamazon: R' Avrohom Wieder. They finished at around 12:15.
