The Monkach Rebbe made a notable visit to the 'Chaim v'Shalom' camp for Hasidic children in the Catskills, where he was warmly welcomed with singing and blessings. Similarly, the Satmar Rebbe expressed gratitude to yeshiva students who raised substantial funds for the 'Pure Shekel' fund, aiding residents in Israel who refuse state financial support. This event coincided with the yahrtzeit of the Satmar Rebbe's ancestor.

Logistical efforts were unprecedented ahead of the Vizhnitz Rebbe of Monsey's pilgrimage to Israel, including setting up a private airport facility at the Hasidic center to maintain modesty standards.
