The eternal glory of Kiryas Joel will not disappoint!

In golden letters is inscribed tonight, "Leil Shishi Vayechi 5782," in the history of the holy city of Kiryas Joel, a night that shines like day, when all the residents of the city, in one united, holy resolve and with lofty will, declared: "We will do and we will hear!" All these holy and foundational "Takanos HaIr," sealed with the king's ring, are binding upon us and a merit to us, and we shall not depart from them!
Words are too poor to describe the surging inspiration and elevation that hovered in the Tel Talpiyot where the holy Divrei Yoel zt"l davened, and who now looked down from on high with nachas ruach that his holy inheritance, his holy estate, remains holy and guarded. The flock of His pasture, the residents of Kiryas Joel, are taking upon themselves with full willingness to keep all the holy takanos which the one who fills his place in holiness and guards his embers, the faithful leader of the kehilla, the master of the holy place, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a, has enacted and set down for the city of Kiryas Joel and its surrounding areas.
An unbelievable sight unfolded starting from 8:00 in the evening, when old and young, of all ages and levels, for the entire congregation is holy, all the residents of the city and the surrounding areas, with holy emotion, filled the great hall to overflowing, and after a short while there was no place left to sit, and the askanim worked to make room for the public.
The assembly was opened by HaGaon Rabbi Simcha Shalom Steinberger shlit"a, Rav of Beis Medrash Divrei Chaim, one of the choicest students of the Divrei Yoel zt"l, who with his pleasant words addressed the critical importance of tonight's gathering, which concerns every single individual, for his benefit and the benefit of his descendants forever, especially emphasizing the unbending force of the "Takanos HaIr," which was something self-evident in all generations, in all the cities and towns of Europe, that one does not play around with this, and it is kept with absolute obligation.
A reverence descended upon the beis medrash when the mighty Gaon, the Av Beis Din of Kiryas Joel shlit"a, the pillar of halacha whom the Divrei Yoel zt"l appointed at the founding of Kiryas Joel, proclaimed with a fiery flame the "word of Hashem, this is the halacha," regarding the halachic force of all the takanos which the rabbanim of the city signed today, and that it is binding upon every single resident of the city, without exception.
A holy trembling seized the multitudes when the Rebbe shlit"a delivered the message to the city, boiling for a long time with holy fire, and the Torah burned within him with the voice of Hashem in power, regarding the holiness of the city of Kiryas Joel until today, which continues through the power and holiness of the Uncle zy"a, who founded the city and rooted within it the holy foundations and directives, which he wanted and which was the aspiration of his pure soul, that the city should bear such a character. As is known and publicized how much that tzaddik suffered; from the day he came to America he had this worry, and he took so many actions to establish a town of its own, all with the goal that it be holy and guarded from the outside street.
With a broad explanation the Rebbe shlit"a brought out how, as the boundaries of holiness expanded and the city, unfortunately, so flourished and grew, the surrounding areas of the city began to be heavily settled, and together with this it created a new kind of reality not seen until now, that neglect might, Heaven forbid, arise in the fundamental foundations of the holiness of our camp, in various serious matters, and the time has come to establish "Takanos HaIr" that will be binding upon all the residents of the city and its surrounding areas, so that with Hashem's help, and in the power and merit of the Uncle zy"a, we will be able to continue his holy will and the aspiration of his pure soul, that the city of Kiryas Joel remain a holy inheritance and a faithful community, in the manner that he wanted and demanded.
With burning words the Rebbe shlit"a conveyed the holiness of tonight's assembly, as all the residents and surrounding areas gathered and came together with one mind, to do the will of our Father in Heaven, willingly accepting the "Takanos HaIr," which are established upon us and our descendants, and are binding upon all the residents and surrounding areas without exception, forever, and only in this way will we be able, with Hashem's help, to continue the holiness of the city and its spiritual character, which the Uncle zy"a wanted and for which he gave his very blood.

After the fiery holy words, the public listened breathlessly to the historic moment as HaGaon Rabbi Simcha Shalom Steinberger shlit"a, one of the choicest students of the Satmar Rebbe zt"l and Rav of Beis Medrash Divrei Chaim of Kehal Yitav Lev Kiryas Joel, read aloud all the sections of the "Takanos HaIr," which are binding upon all the residents and surrounding areas, to ensure with Hashem's help that with the expansion of the city into the surrounding areas, the wall of holiness will not, Heaven forbid, be weakened, the holy takanos binding upon every resident of the city and its surrounding areas alike.
With a fervent mood of "they accepted upon themselves" with love and willingness, the public dispersed from the exalted assembly, which is now the talk of the day throughout the entire chareidi world.

Kiryas Joel and its surrounding areas, fortunate is the city that has this!
