Part 2 of the report, Tuesday, Parshas Vayeira, 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a - Trip to visit the shechita in the country of Uruguay

At around 4:30 the Rebbe shlit"a arrived at the airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where the Rebbe's private plane took off at around 4:50 for a 25-minute flight to the country of Uruguay.

On the plane, the Rebbe shlit"a went over with the rabbonim shlit"a all the details and hiddurim within the shechita system here at the new plant.

At around 5:15 the private plane landed at the local airport in Uruguay, and the Rebbe shlit"a arrived at the guesthouse at 6:40.

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Mincha together with the shochtim. Baal tefillah: Rabbi Chaim Betzalel Blum.
After Mincha, the Rebbe greeted all the shochtim.

At around 8:30 the Rebbe shlit"a checked the knives, as each of the shochtim individually gave the Rebbe their knives to check. Afterward Maariv was davened. Baal tefillah: R' Chaim Shlomo Fisher.

After Maariv a lechayim gathering was held with the shochtim, where the Rebbe delivered words of divrei kibbush and guidance, and emphasized the responsibility resting on the shochtim, for whom kashrus is the foundation, and how many Jews can be brought to merit through a single animal, or, chas v'shalom, be caused to stumble, as well as the great merit of the shochtim. He concluded with holy blessings and said that he did not want to keep the shochtim too long, since they would be standing at 5 in the morning to shecht.

After the words, all the shochtim came over to take shirayim from the Rebbe shlit"a.

At around 10:00 the Rebbe shlit"a traveled over to the plant together with HaGaon Rabbi, the Dayan and Av Beis Din of Boro Park shlit"a, and HaGaon Rabbi, the Av Beis Din of Monsey shlit"a. First the Rebbe looked over the place of shechita and the box where the animals are shechted, which is turned over so that the shechita is a shechita munachas, in order to see this up close, not during the work.
Then the Rebbe went over to the nikkur section, where the Rebbe examined for an extended time the entire nikkur apparatus on the meat of today's shechita, and gave various instructions and guidance to the mashgichim.

From there the Rebbe went over to follow the salting sections, and personally exerted himself physically to follow the entire salting procedure, and then continued to the sections of stufa, soaking and rinsing, with all the chumros and hiddurim that are practiced by the Rebbe shlit"a.

Then the Rebbe went in to see the gigantic area of the packaging apparatus, which has already been prepared for tomorrow, and examined for an extended time the entire procedure of how it operates, how the kosher meat is separated from the treif meat, etc., where everything is carried out with the greatest degree of hiddur.

At around 1:00, after a full three hours during which the Rebbe exerted himself physically throughout the entire plant with all its sections, the Rebbe returned to the guesthouse.

Tomorrow morning at 6:30 local time the Rebbe shlit"a will return to look over the shechita system, the external and internal examinations, the examinations of the innards, the packaging and all the remaining sections.
