Tuesday, Parshas Beha'aloscha — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, before Shacharis, a bris of a newborn son took place for R' Aharon Friedrich, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Etz Chaim branch - Shiur Gimmel. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- The bochur Shlomo Schonbrun.
- The bochur Kalman Eliezer Rubinstein.

After davening, the Rebbe led the daily Tehillim shiur, and during it spoke words of chizuk and praise in anticipation of the historic siyum HaShas by the 'Toras'cha Sha'ashuai' group of our holy kehilla, regarding the great simcha of our holy kehilla, where many hundreds of men are preparing to complete the entire Shas after the arduous labor of the last twelve years. The Rebbe spoke at length in praise of the devoted patron of the group, the distinguished chassidic Rabbi, R' Yitzchak Schwartz, who invests so much time, energy, and money to increase those who learn Torah, both in our holy kehilla and in many other Jewish communities, the great one who brings merit to the many by increasing Torah learners everywhere. The Rebbe strongly encouraged the esteemed patron that he should be able to succeed in continuing to increase Torah learners, and concluded with his holy blessing.
