Thursday, Parshas Ki Savo — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

This morning a bris took place for the newborn son of R' Chaim Yisroel Levy, where the Rebbe served as sandek.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Yeshiva Gedolah, Branch Berach Moshe. Before davening, the Rebbe put on tefillin for the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- The bochur Chaim Hersh Segedin.
- The bochur Chaim Tzvi Yoel Friedman.
During the Torah reading, the Rebbe was called up as the third aliyah. After davening, the shofar was blown and ten chapters of Tehillim were recited, as is customary in the month of Elul.

After davening, the Rebbe delivered the daily Tehillim shiur on chapter 32, verse 2. Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Rebbe's private room.
A group of bochurim from the yeshiva also entered for a private audience to receive the Rebbe's blessing on the occasion of their departure to the holy places in Europe. The Rebbe inquired about the details of the trip, distributed shlichus mitzvah money, and imparted his holy blessing.

At around 1:40, the Rebbe went over to the Heichal HaMesivta, Branch Berach Moshe, where the Rebbe delivered the fourth sugya shiur on the sugya of 'chatzi shiur' as preparation for the Shabbos Shuvah derasha. After the sugya shiur, the Rebbe engaged in pilpul with the bochurim; it concluded at around 2:40.

The private audiences in the Rebbe's holy home on Ohel Street ran from 6:15 until 1:20 after midnight.

At around 7:15, the Rebbe officiated at the kiddushin at the chuppah of the mechutanim:
- R' Yoel Weiss and R' Aryeh Herskovits in the halls of Kinor David.
- R' Yoel Gutman and R' Moshe Yosef Dov Siman in the halls of Beis Rachel Paradise.
- R' Wolf Berger and R' Yoel Yakir Friedman in the halls of Ginas Klein.

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

During the private audiences, HaGaon Rabbi Yeshaya Schlesinger shlit"a, president of the Committee for the Rescue of Cemeteries – Admas Kodesh, and rav of the beis medrash of Kollel Chaim Oizer in London, entered. A pleasant conversation took place about the activities of the Committee for the Rescue of Cemeteries, which his father, HaGaon HaGadol Rabbi Eliakim zt"l, founded. The Rebbe imparted his holy blessing to him and gave him his sefer Lev Aharon, and then wished the members of the board who were present well.

At around 9:15, the Rebbe went down to the halls in his holy home, where the Rebbe read the tena'im of the mechutanim:
- R' Yoshe Hersh Glick and R' Shmuel Leib Fried.
- R' Yosef Refael Hopfer and R' Yoel Chaim Lebovitch.

The Rebbe davened Maariv at around 12:45. The Rebbe lit candles and approached the amud on the occasion of the hilula kadisha of his grandfather, the holy Rabbi Yisroel Yaakov Yokel of Wallowa zt"l, and after Maariv continued receiving the public.
