The Second Night of Chol HaMoed, Ushpizin of Moshe Rabbeinu, the Faithful Shepherd "B'tzeil HaKodesh" with the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a

At around 8:00 the Rebbe shlit"a davened Maariv in his holy home.

The Rebbe shlit"a entered the gathering of Simchas Beis HaShoeivah in the large sukkah at around 10:30.
After reciting the order of the Ushpizin, the Rebbe shlit"a washed for the Yom Tov seudah.

The sponsors of the Ushpizin set out wine, as is customary. After the Yom Tov foods, a number of special kugels and delicacies in honor of Yom Tov were served from several of the Ushpizin sponsors; the Rebbe tasted them and distributed shirayim.

The Rebbe honored the following with Shir HaMaalos:
HaGaon HaTzaddik R' Naftali Hirtzka Zwebel shlit"a, Rosh Av Beis Din of Williamsburg.
HaRav HaGaon R' Yoel Gutman shlit"a, Moreh Tzedek in our kehilla.
HaRav HaGaon R' Lipa Berkowitz shlit"a, Moreh Tzedek in our kehilla.

The Rebbe shlit"a said Torah on the verse that Moshe Rabbeinu said, "Haazinu hashamayim va'adabeira," explaining that through the mitzvah of sukkah, teshuva together with tefillah helps for all aveiros, and that a mikvah has the segulah of subduing the kelipos; the sukkah has the same segulah, and thus the tefillos of Yisroel will be accepted with mercy and favor.

Birkas Hamazon: HaGaon HaTzaddik Rabbi Aharon Mordechai Brisk shlit"a, Dayan and Moreh Tzedek of Tosh, Monsey. After bentching there was dancing in honor of Simchas Beis HaShoeivah, and it ended at around 12:15.
