Thursday, Parshas Lech Lecha 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a


This morning a bris took place for a newborn son of R' Avrohom Rabbi Bentzion Palatchek, at which the Rebbe served as sandek.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta, Beirach Moshe branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Nesanel Braun.
During the Torah reading the Rebbe went up for hagbah, and after davening he recited the daily Tehillim shiur, on chapter 27, verse 3. Afterwards the talmidim of the yeshiva went over to greet the Rebbe shlit"a on the occasion of the new zman. A lechayim also took place with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Rebbe's private room.

At around 6:15 the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home on Route 17M.

In the evening the Rebbe officiated as mesader kiddushin at the chuppah of the mechutanim:
- R' Yoel Rabbi Shmuel Friedman and R' Meir Eliyahu Acker, in the Kinor David halls.
- R' Aryeh Rabbi Chaim Yehuda Herskowitz and R' Meir Yitzchak Weiss, in the Beis Rochel Paradise halls.

Yechidus hours in Kiryas Joel were from 8:00 until 12:30 at night, in the Rebbe's holy home on Uhel Road.

During the yechidus hours, the chalake celebration took place for the Rebbe's great-grandson, the child Meir ny"u, son of Rabbi Baruch Rokeach shlit"a, son-in-law of the HaGaon, the Rav of the Beis HaMedrash Ohel Feiga shlit"a. The Rebbe cut off a few hairs, put on the child's kappel and tzitzis, and warmly bestowed his holy blessing upon the chalake boy, upon the grandfathers, HaGaon the Av Beis Din of Karov shlit"a and HaGaon the Rav of the Beis HaMedrash Ohel Feiga shlit"a, and upon the entire family.

The Radvil Rebbe shlit"a of Monsey also paid a visit in Kiryas Joel. A pleasant conversation ensued, and the Rebbe bestowed his holy blessing upon him.

At around 10:15 the Rebbe went down to the tenaim hall in his holy home, where the Rebbe read the tenaim of the mechutanim R' Yoel son of R' Yosef Chaim Weiss and R' Aharon son of R' Moshe Schwartz.

At around 12:00 a lechayim gathering took place in Kiryas Joel on the occasion of the opening of our new beis medrash in Linden, which will open this Shabbos Kodesh with great splendor. Participating were HaGaon the Rav of our Linden kehilla shlit"a and the heads of the kehilla's leadership together with many members of the community, residents of Linden. The Rebbe heard a report from the Rav shlit"a, and then delivered divrei Torah on the occasion of the opening of the beis medrash, speaking at length about everything required of a Chassidic beis medrash in matters of Torah, tefillah, gemilus chasadim and tznius, and concluded with his holy blessing.
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and bestowed his holy blessing upon the Rav of our kehilla shlit"a and upon the entire assembly. They sang in honor of the occasion, and afterwards all the residents went over to receive the Rebbe's holy blessing.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 12:30.
