Sunday, Parshas Nitzavim — 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

In the morning, a bris for a newborn son took place by R' Yoel Berish Eckstein, where the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in Yeshiva Gedolah, Kedushas Yoel branch. Before davening, the Rebbe put tefillin on the bar mitzvah bochurim:
- The son of HaRav R' Dovid Shlomo Laub shlit"a.
- The bochur Naftali Hirtzka Horowitz.
The Rebbe blew the shofar and recited ten chapters of Tehillim, as is customary during the month of Elul.

After davening, the Rebbe reviewed the daily Tehillim shiur on chapter 32, verse 2. Afterwards, a lechayim took place with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Rebbe's private room.

At around 1:50, the Rebbe went over to the Heichal HaMesivta, Beirach Moshe branch, where the Rebbe delivered the fifth shiur on the sugya of 'Chatzi Shiur' as preparation for the Shabbos Shuvah derasha. After the shiur, the Rebbe engaged in pilpul with the bochurim, and it concluded at around 2:40.

At around 4:30, the Rebbe arrived at Beis Medrash Yisroel Shalom in the Veyoel Moshe neighborhood for the siyum on the Chamishah Chumshei Torah by the fifth-grade talmidim of our holy mosdos, Binyan Markowitz branch, under the leadership of HaRav R' Moshe Aryeh Mark shlit"a. Several nigunim were sung, and the farher on the Chamishah Chumshei Torah took place, given by the rebbi HaRav R' Aharon Berish Weinstock shlit"a.
The Rebbe drank a lechayim and offered blessings to the rebbeim, the administration, and the children, and then delivered a few words of divrei Torah, expressing the great joy at so many children completing the Chamishah Chumshei Torah with strong proficiency, and learning in a framework where every minute is utilized for learning and understanding Torah. The siyum concluded with abundant blessings.

Entry times at the Rebbe's home on Ohel Court were from 6:30 until 12:50 at night.

At around 7:20, the Rebbe davened Mincha at his home.

- R' Yechezkel Teller and R' Yisroel Mordechai Wanhatzker in the Kinor Dovid halls.
- R' Meir Mendel Weiss and R' Yoel Berel Mashkowitz in the Beis Rachel Paradise halls.

At around 9:30, the Rebbe went down to the halls in his home, where the Rebbe read the tenaim of the mechutanim:
