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

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Heichal HaMesivta, Beirach Moshe branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- The bochur Avrohom Yosha Heshel HaKohen Glanz.
- The bochur Yosef Chaviv Masri.
- The bochur Yoel, son of Yosef Binyamin Eliezer Stern.

During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went up for Hagbah. After davening, the Rebbe learned the daily Tehillim shiur on chapter 24, verse 1. Afterward, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Rebbe's private room.

At around 4:45, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home.

In the evening, the Rebbe traveled to Boro Park for the bar mitzvah celebration of a great-grandson, the bar mitzvah boy Meir, son of R' Chaim Hersh Teitelbaum shlit"a, son-in-law of the Rav of the Beirach Moshe beis medrash shlit"a, and son-in-law of the Av Beis Din of Uhel shlit"a.

Upon arriving in Boro Park, the Rebbe first went up to a lechayim gathering in the home of R' Aharon Hersh Mittelman, chairman of Keren Melamdim, on the occasion of the wedding of his daughter, mazel tov. A pleasant conversation took place about the yahrzeit of the holy Maggid of Mezritch zy"a. The Rebbe drank a lechayim and wished the chosson, the mechutanim, the grandfathers, and the entire family well.

Afterward, the Rebbe went over to the guest residence in the home of R' Moshe Kahana, where the Rebbe davened Maariv.

After Maariv, at around 9:45, the Rebbe went over to the Skver hall for the bar mitzvah celebration. The Rebbe washed for the seudah. During the seudah, the Rebbe's grandson R' Chaim Hersh shlit"a, son-in-law of the Rav of the Beirach Moshe beis medrash shlit"a, spoke, as did the elder grandfather, the Av Beis Din of Volove shlit"a. After the soup, the bar mitzvah bochur recited the pshetl.
The Rebbe delivered words of Torah on the topic of tefillin and concluded with abundant blessings for the bar mitzvah bochur, for the entire family, and for the entire gathering.
At Birkas Hamazon, the Rebbe honored the bar mitzvah bochur. After bentching, the entire gathering came to wish the Rebbe shlit"a mazel tov. It ended at around 11:00, and the Rebbe traveled home to his holy residence in Kiryas Joel.
