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

In the morning, a bris took place for a newborn son of R' Chaim Brish Friedman, at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.

The Rebbe davened Shacharis in the Beis Medrash Imrei Noam in the Divrei Yoel neighborhood, together with the talmidim of Yeshiva Gedolah, the Esek HaTorah branch of Monsey, under the direction of HaRav Yisroel Mordechai Seidenfeld shlit"a.
Before davening, the Rebbe put on tefillin for the bar mitzvah bochur, the bochur Efraim Goldman.
The Rebbe blew shofar and said fifteen chapters of Tehillim, as is customary during the month of Elul.

After davening, the Rebbe delivered the daily Tehillim shiur on chapter 32, verse 6. Afterwards, a lechayim celebration took place in honor of the end of the zman in the main hall of the beis medrash. The Rebbe drank lechayim and offered good wishes to the bar mitzvah bochur and to the rebbeim and talmidim of the yeshiva, and delivered divrei Torah, highlighting the tremendous success the yeshiva had this year, as very good reports had been heard from the yeshiva, and wished good shidduchim for all the bochurim.
The Rebbe then distributed the sefer Berach Moshe - Sugyos HaShas to all the bochurim.

After Shacharis, the Rebbe went over to the beis medrash in his holy home on Ohel Court, where a bris took place for a newborn son of R' Hershel Wertheimer of Eretz Yisroel, residing in Monsey, at which the Rebbe served as sandek and mohel.
Afterwards a lechayim celebration took place in the main hall of the beis medrash. A pleasant conversation ensued, and the Rebbe drank lechayim and shared from his holy blessing. The shamash, R' Yoel Kaufman, recited the Mi Sheberach as is customary.

At around 1:45, the Rebbe went over to the hall of the Mesivta, Berach Moshe branch, where the Rebbe delivered the seventh sugya shiur, on the sugya of 'chatzi shiur', as preparation for the Shabbos Shuva derasha.

At the end, the Rebbe spoke about the sugya shiurim, saying that after learning seven sugya shiurim, we are still only at a chatzi shiur, and there is still much to toil over in the sugya. He said that tomorrow, Wednesday, there will be no shiur as he will be in Boro Park, and on Thursday, if it is possible, b'ezras Hashem, they will try to deliver a sugya shiur. He emphasized that in any case, the bochurim should try to make use of the time and finish the week with learning Torah.
After the shiur, the Rebbe engaged in pilpul with the bochurim. It ended at around 2:45.

After the sugya, the Rebbe traveled to Williamsburg for the weekly zmanei kenisa.
The zmanei kenisa in the Rebbe's holy home on Hooper St. were from 4:30 until 11:30 at night.

During the zmanei kenisa, HaGaon Rabbi Yekusiel Teitelbaum shlit"a entered the Rebbe's room to give and receive a blessing in anticipation of the Yamim Noraim, which should come upon us for good. A pleasant conversation took place, and the Rebbe shared from his holy blessing with him.

The Rebbe davened Mincha at around 6:00, and Maariv at around 10:30.
