Monday, Parshas Shlach — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

This morning, before Shacharis, a bris took place for a newborn son of R' Aryeh Perl, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Heichal HaMesivta, the Divrei Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- the bochur Eliezer Weiss.
- the bochur Yoel Bra"sh Schwartz.

During the Torah reading, the Rebbe went up for hagbah, and after davening he learned the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 25, verse 11. Afterward, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in his private room.

In the afternoon hours, the local Congressman, "Pat Ryan," together with the Kiryas Joel administration, came to the Rebbe's holy home to receive a blessing for his hard work on behalf of the new education law in New York. They discussed various approaches for what to do going forward if the Education Department continues to try to exploit the loopholes in the law, and he promised to continue standing by to help with whatever will be needed. Other matters concerning assistance for Kiryas Joel were also discussed, and the Rebbe thanked him very warmly for his help and wished him blessings.

At about 6:50, the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home, at Zanz Street.

Yechidus was held from 7:15 until 10:45 at night, in the Rebbe's holy home on Ohel Street.

During yechidus, HaGaon Rabbi Asher Anshel Jungreis shlit"a, Av Beis Din of Chengers London, entered, and a pleasant conversation ensued. The Rebbe blessed him.

After sunset, at about 8:30, the Rebbe officiated at kiddushin at the chuppah of the mechutanim:
- R' Yaakov Bra"a Schwartz and R' Shmuel Shlomo Teller shlit"a, in the Kinor David halls.
- R' Shimshon Eliezer Marmorstein and HaGaon Rabbi Dovid Greenfeld shlit"a, moreh tzedek, in the Ginas Klein halls.
- HaGaon Rabbi Dovid Hirsch shlit"a, moreh tzedek in our holy kehilla of Williamsburg, and R' Yitzchak Menachem Berger, in the Beis Rachel Paradise halls.

After the chuppahs, at about 9:10, the Rebbe went to the shopping center halls for the Sheva Brachos celebration hosted by HaGaon HaGadol, the Av Beis Din shlit"a, in honor of the wedding of his granddaughter, mazel tov to the kallah, the daughter of his son-in-law, the tzaddik R' Yosef Mordechai Wagschal shlit"a. A pleasant conversation in halachic matters took place. The Rebbe drank a lechayim, tasted some of the mezonos and fish, and blessed the chosson and the mechutanim, and especially his friend HaGaon HaGadol, the Av Beis Din shlit"a.
After bentching, the Rebbe recited the Sheva Brachos, and stood up to dance together with the entire head table, and afterward separately with the chosson and with HaGaon HaGadol, the Av Beis Din shlit"a.

The Rebbe left the hall at about 9:40 and returned to his holy home on Ohel Street, to continue yechidus.

During yechidus, the askan R' Chanoch Zeibert, Deputy Mayor of Bnei Brak, entered. The Rebbe inquired about the details of the war situation in Eretz Yisroel and the aftermath in the city of Bnei Brak, and the Rebbe blessed him.

Also entering was a delegation of Belz rabbonim, sent by the Belzer Rebbe shlit"a, to receive his blessing in honor of the wedding of his granddaughter, which takes place this Wednesday of Shlach in Eretz Yisroel, and the Rebbe blessed them.

The Rebbe shlit"a read the tenaim of the mechutanim:
- R' Yaakov Shalom Weiss shlit"a and R' Yosef Moshe Forgacs shlit"a.
- R' Yaakov Yosef Melamed and R' Pesach Chaim Kramer.

At about 11:10, the Rebbe went to Beis Medrash Avnei Tzedek for the central Sheva Brachos in our holy courts, hosted by the mispallelim of the beis medrash in honor of the Rebbe shlit"a and his friend, HaGaon HaTzaddik, rav of the beis medrash shlit"a. Upon arrival, the Rebbe danced in place for a few minutes, drank a lechayim, wished the chosson, the mechutanim and the entire assembly well, delivered a few words on the topic of marriage, and concluded with abundant blessings.
Afterward, the Rebbe stood up to dance. During bentching, the Rebbe honored his friend HaGaon HaTzaddik, rav of the beis medrash shlit"a, with the first blessings; HaGaon HaTzaddik, Av Beis Din of Williamsburg shlit"a, with the first of the blessings; and the final blessing was given to HaGaon Rabbi Simcha Shalom Steinberger shlit"a, rav of Beis Medrash Divrei Chaim.

The Rebbe then davened Maariv in the heichal of the beis medrash. It concluded at about 12:00.
