Motzei Yom Tov – Leil Ushpizin of Yaakov, 'B'tzeil HaKodesh' with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

Because of the rain, the Rebbe washed for the seudah in the sukkah in his holy home. The guests present sponsored kugels in honor of the Ushpizin.
- Birkas Hamazon: Motzei Shabbos, R' Yehoshua Mendlowitz.

The Rebbe entered for the zemiros and divrei Torah in the Beis Medrash HaGadol at around 12:00.
Upon entering, the Rebbe danced in place for several minutes, and they lingered in song and praise with the Yom Tov Sukkos melodies.
The Rebbe honored the following with the Shir HaMaalos:
- HaGaon R' Zalman Leib Rubin shlit"a, the Dinov Rebbe of Monsey.
- The Rebbe's grandson, HaGaon R' Chaim Yaakov Rokeach shlit"a, Rav of the Kol Eliyahu beis medrash.
- R' Yaakov Gross shlit"a.

The Rebbe said a Torah thought on the verse "Vayeitzei Yaakov mi'Be'er Sheva etc. v'hinei sulam mutzav artza," and explained that when Yaakov Avinu saw angels going up and down, he found it difficult: if so, why was it necessary for Moshe Rabbeinu to go up to receive the Torah? Hashem could have sent it with an angel as a messenger! Rather, Yaakov Avinu understood that Matan Torah has the status of kiddushin between Hashem and Klal Yisroel, and therefore Hashem could not send an angel as a messenger, since anyone who is not subject to the laws of gittin and kiddushin cannot serve as a messenger for kiddushin. Consequently, Yaakov Avinu was comforted that Hashem likewise will not be able to send a get to Klal Yisroel through an angel as a messenger. If Hashem has the status of a husband to a wife toward Klal Yisroel, Hashem must provide all the obligations of a husband to a wife: parnassah, healing, and redemption from exile.

Afterwards they continued with song and zemiros, and the Rebbe stood up and danced in honor of Simchas Beis HaShoeivah. It concluded at around 12:50.
