Monday, Parshas Tazria-Metzora – 26 Nissan – the yahrzeit hilula of the holy Rebbe, the Beirach Moshe zy"a – 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Gershon Schwartz, at which the Rebbe served as sandek.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Beis Medrash HaGadol together with hundreds of chassidim and yeshiva bochurim.
Before davening, the Rebbe lit candles in honor of the holy hilula.
Afterward, the Rebbe put on tefillin for the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Pinchas Yochanan Rotter.
The Rebbe approached the amud with great hislahavus.

- Pesicha: HaRav R' Shabsi Yaakov Wertheimer.
- Kohen: the Rebbe's grandson, Rabbi Nachman Kahana shlit"a, son-in-law of the Rebbe's brother, HaGaon Rabbi, Rav of the Beirach Moshe Beis Medrash shlit"a.
- Levi: the bar mitzvah boy, the bochur Simcha Yisroel Appel.
- Shlishi: the Rebbe shlit"a.

The Rebbe's grandson, the young Yechezkel Shraga T.B., son of HaGaon Rabbi Yisroel Shalom shlit"a, Rav of the Beis Medrash, approached for Tehillim.

After davening, a lechayim gathering took place before going up to the holy Ohel. Inspiring melodies were sung. The Rebbe made a siyum on the Six Orders of Mishnah and recited Kaddish, drank lechayim, and blessed the entire gathering. He delivered a message, saying that we are already standing at the twentieth yahrzeit, twenty years have already passed – an entire generation since the passing – and he brought out the endeavors of the holy Rebbe, the hilula's honoree zy"a, in spreading Yiddishkeit, and particularly his efforts in spreading Torah throughout all his years: in Keretzki, Satu Mare, immediately after the war, and all the years in America, both for bochurim and for yungerleit, and likewise his efforts to establish fresh dayanim and poskim. He concluded with the blessing, 'May his merit protect us and all Israel.'

After the lechayim gathering, at around 12:50, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a went up to the holy Ohel together with thousands of chassidim and yeshiva students. Upon arriving at the cemetery, the Rebbe recited the blessing, entered the holy Ohel, lit five candles along with a neshama candle, and recited the prayer Shalom Aleichem attributed to the Yismach Moshe zy"a.
The Rebbe davened as baal tefillah, recited the chapters of Tehillim from 90 through 107 as is customary, recited the Yehi Ratzon and Kaddish, then learned Mishnayos and recited Kaddish D'Rabbanan. While the Rebbe read the kvitlach, the inspiring melodies that used to be sung in the beis medrash of the holy Rebbe, the hilula's honoree, were sung. Afterward, the Rebbe prostrated himself on the holy grave for an extended time. They concluded at around 1:40.

In the afternoon at around 2:15, a bris took place in his holy home for the newborn son of R' Elisha Yoel Rosenfeld, at which the Rebbe served as sandek. After the bris a lechayim gathering took place; the Rebbe blessed the father and his family, and the shamash, HaRav R' Yoel Kaufman, recited the customary Mi Sheberach.

In the evening at around 8:05, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a entered for Mincha in the Beis Medrash HaGadol. Before davening the Rebbe lit five candles and approached the amud.

After Mincha, at around 8:30, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a washed for the pure table and the hilula seudah.
After washing, the Rebbe made a siyum on Shas and recited Kaddish. After the fish course, the Rebbe wished lechayim to the entire gathering with 'May his merit protect us and all Israel,' and they continued with melodies of deveikus and longing that used to be sung in the beis medrash of the holy Rebbe, the hilula's honoree zy"a.
For Michtam L'Dovid, the Rebbe honored HaGaon Rabbi Baruch Weiss shlit"a, Rav of the Kenizsa Beis Medrash, one of the students of the hilula's honoree.

At around 9:35, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a began the holy words and the message of the hour, and based himself on the verse 'When a woman conceives and gives birth to a male.' A tzaddik who influences other Jews has the promise of 'Whoever brings merit to the many, no sin comes through him.' He discussed this at length in the teachings of the hilula's honoree zy"a, and elaborated on his greatness and righteousness in the three pillars of the world, his many endeavors in all areas, his diligence in Torah and spreading Torah among his students, and his warm prayers, emerging from a pure heart and entering hearts, the war of Hashem against the impurity of Zionism, and his holy prayers which he davened for Jewish children who came under his shelter seeking a salvation. He effected salvations for Jewish children. Just as he stood and served here, so too there in the upper world he stands and serves and prays for us and for all Israel.
Afterward, the Rebbe continued on matters on the agenda, particularly regarding the sanctity of the city of Kiryas Joel for the students and chassidim of our holy Rebbes zy"a. The Rebbe's uncle z"l stands on guard, and he was very strict about anyone who takes action to introduce residents with other outlooks, even if they are G-d-fearing in other matters. "And I want to warn everyone who has a part in this: Beware of his coals!" And I ask, who does not fear his strictness? He praised the 'Kiryas Joel Fund' and the batei medrash in all the neighborhoods of greater Kiryas Joel, which elevate the sanctity of the place. He urged holding firm to the apartment prices in Kiryas Joel with full strength and vigor. For the entire Brooklyn chassidic community, hundreds of apartments are being built at the price of only $200 per square foot!!! in the city and mother in Israel, Monticello.
The Rebbe continued about strengthening Mosdos Yatev Lev, saying: 'The deveikus of our people to the Rebbe's uncle z"l, the founder of the mosdos, and to the Rebbe's father z"l, depends on the connection they have to Mosdos Yatev Lev!' Afterward he spoke about supporting Kollel Eitz Chaim in Eretz Yisroel, the difficult situation in Eretz Yisroel both regarding the war and regarding the decree of drafting yeshiva students, and concluded with his holy blessing.

For Birkas Hamazon, the Rebbe honored his brother, HaGaon Rabbi, Rav of our kehilla in Boro Park, shlit"a.
They concluded at around 10:25.
A few minutes later, the Rebbe entered for Maariv in the main hall of the Beis Medrash. Baal tefillah: HaRav R' Avrohom Moshe Lebovitch. The Rebbe approached the amud for Sefiras HaOmer.
