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

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Yeshiva Gedolah, the Divrei Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Shmuel Naftali Hirtzka Glantz.

During the Torah reading, the Rebbe was called up for the third aliyah. After davening, he delivered the Tehillim shiur on chapter 30, verse 2. Afterward, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochur in the Rebbe's private room.

In the evening, the Rebbe officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the mechutanim:
- HaGaon Rabbi Dovid Chananya Weiss shlit"a and R' Akiva Tzvi Geshtetner, in the Kinor David halls.
- R' Shlomo Mendlowitz and R' Avrohom Mattisyahu Kohn, in the Beis Rachel Paradise halls.
- HaGaon Rabbi Avrohom Simcha Gottlieb shlit"a and R' Mordechai Mendel Gutman a"h, in the Ginas Klein halls.

In the afternoon hours, a meeting took place in the Rebbe's holy home with the rabbonim of the Vaad L'Taharenu of our holy kehilla. They discussed at length the great success regarding technological devices with the hechsher of the Vaad HaKehillos. The Rebbe praised the activities of the Vaad HaKehillos and gave his holy directive to continue standing guard with united strength together with all the kehillos, and bestowed his blessing.

At around 8:15 the Rebbe davened Mincha in his holy home, at the Ohel Building.

The reception hours at the Rebbe's holy home were from 8:30 until 1:35 at night.

During the reception hours, the Rebbe received a visit from HaGaon HaTzaddik Rabbi Pinchas Friedman shlit"a, head of the kollelim of Belz chassidim in Eretz Yisroel, together with his son-in-law HaGaon R' Moshe Stessel shlit"a, one of the dayanim of Belz in Boro Park. A fine conversation took place about the laws of treifos, and about the new Belz town now being built in America. The dayanim expressed the strong resonance of the Rebbe shlit"a's talks regarding the purpose of having one's own town and what must be ensured when building a new Jewish town, and especially not to build next to an existing chassidic town, which destroys another's livelihood and the other's goals in building an additional town. This has a strong influence on all the G-d-fearing kehillos. HaGaon HaTzaddik Rabbi Pinchas shlit"a presented the Rebbe shlit"a with his sefer Bishvili Pinchas, and the Rebbe gave him his sefer Lev Aharon on Shas and bestowed his blessing.

The Skolye 18 Rebbe shlit"a also visited the Rebbe. A fine conversation took place about stories of tzaddikim. The Skolye Rebbe shlit"a presented the Rebbe shlit"a with the sefer Maayan Ganim by his grandfather, the holy Skolye Rebbe zt"l, which was recently reprinted. The Rebbe honored him with a lechayim and bestowed his blessing.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 12:50 and then continued receiving the public.
