Motzei Shabbos, 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

At around 11:30 the Rebbe entered for the start of the writing of a Sefer Torah that is being written by members of our holy kehilla in honor and in the merit of the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a.
Upon entering, the Rebbe danced on the spot for several minutes, and for an extended time songs of arousal and attachment to the study of Torah were sung.

HaRav R' Shmuel Zanvil Wertheimer - the patron of the occasion, handed the quill to the Rebbe shlit"a, and the Rebbe wrote the first letter in the Sefer Torah, drank a lechayim, and blessed the entire assembly. He then delivered a Torah thought on the verse "Prepare the way for yourself," explaining that through cherishing the Torah one can merit to do teshuvah itself, and no suffering is needed, since the holy Torah pleads in merit of Klal Yisroel before Hashem. He expressed the feelings of such an elevated Shabbos, whose climax is the start of the writing of a Sefer Torah, which shows the cherishing of Torah. He spoke at length in praise of the kehilla and the mosdos, of which one may be proud, and of the esteemed rabbi shlit"a, whose reputation is renowned throughout all of Monsey and beyond. He concluded with abundant blessings for the entire assembly.

The Rebbe rose and danced for an extended time in honor of the Torah. Afterwards, all the chassidim went over to wish a good week and took from the Rebbe's tish honey blessed by the Rebbe shlit"a.

The proceedings ended at around 12:30, and the Rebbe shlit"a was escorted with song and music, and the Rebbe traveled home to his holy residence in Kiryas Joel.
