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

The Rebbe shlit"a davened Shacharis in the Heichal HaMesivta of the "Snif Vyoel Moshe." Before davening, the Rebbe shlit"a put tefillin on the following bar mitzvah bochurim:
the bochur Shmuel Rubinfeld.
the bochur Chaim Shlomo Kraus.

After davening, the Rebbe shlit"a studied the daily Tehillim shiur, chapter 5, verse 13.

Afterwards, a lechayim was held with the bar mitzvah bochurim in the Rebbe's private room.

In the afternoon, at around 3:50, the Rebbe shlit"a went up to the Heichal HaYeshiva of the Snif Beirach Moshe, where the Rebbe delivered words of Torah, the opening-of-the-zman address, to his devoted talmidim, the more than 1,200 talmidim of the Mesivta from all 7 branches. The Rebbe built the address on the verse "And I will fetch a morsel of bread," explaining it according to aggadic teachings, and then at greater length with a Torah discourse and pilpul on the yeshiva's shiurim in Maseches Bava Basra. The Rebbe shlit"a then spoke words of mussar and chizuk to the bochurim about preparing for and keeping the yeshiva's sedarim and zmanim, as well as attending the shiurim and rising at dawn. The Rebbe shlit"a strongly urged them to set fixed times for learning mussar sefarim and to go to the mikvah every day, and spoke about the beauty of the Shabbosos in yeshiva and the elevated nature of the Seudas Reva Direvin, doing chesed for one another, going after money, guarding themselves from impure devices, and he strengthened the yeshiva's takana, established by the Rebbe zy"a, not to attend any weddings.

The Rebbe then spoke in praise of the yeshiva, stressing that every bochur who learns in the yeshiva must give praise and thanks to Hashem that he merited to come to the yeshiva founded by the Rebbe zy"a, whose stamp is recognizable to this very day, and concluded with his holy blessings.

After the address, at around 4:45, the Rebbe davened Mincha in the yeshiva.

After Mincha, the Rebbe shlit"a set out for Williamsburg.

Upon arrival, the Rebbe took part in the siyum of the writing of a Sefer Torah being written by the esteemed philanthropist R' Moshe Yosef Mittelman. The Rebbe shlit"a wrote in letters and offered his holy blessings.

Afterwards, the Rebbe shlit"a comforted the family of HaRav HaChassid R' Hershel Spitzer a"h, who had passed away.

In the evening, there were yechidus hours in his holy home in Williamsburg from 8:15 until 11:45.

At around 10:15, the Rebbe shlit"a davened Maariv in his holy home.
