Tuesday, Parshas Shoftim — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

This morning a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Chaim Hersh Fisher, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Yeshiva Gedolah, the Eitz Chaim branch, in the third shiur. After davening, the Rebbe delivered a Tehillim shiur on chapter 32, verse 2.

During the morning hours, the Rebbe went on his weekly visit to the mehudar slaughterhouse.

At around 5:30 the Rebbe arrived at the Heichal HaMesivta, the V'Yoel Moshe branch, for the siyum on the writing of a Sefer Torah that was commissioned by the talmidim of the yeshiva, l'ilui nishmas the bochur Yuda a"h, son of Rabbi Eliyahu Zev Yaakov shlit"a of Bnei Brak, one of the outstanding talmidim of the yeshiva.
Songs of inspiration were sung, and the bochur Shaul, son of R' Elimelech Brach, sang rhymes in honor of the occasion.
The Rebbe wrote the final letters in the Sefer Torah, and the singing of inspiring songs continued.
The Rebbe drank lechayim and offered blessings to the HaGaon HaGadol, the Av Beis Din shlit"a, to Rabbi Eliyahu Zev Yaakov shlit"a, and to the rebbeim and talmidim of the yeshiva. He delivered words of Torah and praised the talmidim of the yeshiva who exerted themselves, both physically and financially, and wrote a Sefer Torah for a fellow talmid of the yeshiva. This is a great thing for the neshama, especially for someone who left no children. Bereishis contains the letters "Beis reishis," which allude to the two Torahs, the Written Torah and the Oral Torah. The Written Torah had already been fulfilled, and he urged them to use the last month until the end of the zman to review the Oral Torah, the yeshiva's learning in Maseches Bava Basra, and he concluded with his holy blessing.

Afterwards the Rebbe went for hagbah and danced with the open Sefer Torah for an extended time. Rabbi Eliyahu Zev Yaakov shlit"a had the honor of gelilah. The honor of putting on the belt went to HaRav R' Dovid Shmuel Goldberger, the mantle to Rabbi Aharon Yekusiel Berkowitz shlit"a, and placing the crown to HaRav R' Yoel Dovid Schwartz, all members of the mesivta's administration.
Then the Rebbe broke into a joyous dance with the Sefer Torah for an extended time, afterwards honored the Dayan shlit"a to dance with the Sefer Torah, and the dancing continued.
It concluded at around 6:20.
A few minutes later the Rebbe entered for Mincha in the Heichal of the beis medrash.

In the evening the Rebbe traveled to Williamsburg for the weekly yechidus hours.
Private yechidus hours were held from 8:20 until 12:20 after midnight in his holy home on Hewes Street.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 11:20 and then continued receiving the public.
