[Avodah] L'shana Habaah Biyrushalayim

[kennethgmiller at juno.com]

I've heard the Satmar Rov quoted as explaining the phrase "L'shana Habaah
Biyrushalayim", and that the "habaah" actually refers to the *current*
year, not next year. In Aspaqlaria, at
<http://www.aishdas.org/asp/2007/03/this-year-in-jerusalem.shtml>, R'
Micha Berger gave a good explanation of this, including a reference
to Rashi on Bereshis 29:6, and he wrote that the Satmar Rov wrote this
thought in his Vayoel Moshe.

My problem is that I am looking for it, and I cannot find it in that
sefer.

I won't pretend to ever have learned much of the Vayoel Moshe, but I'm
pretty sure that I did see this vort in there once. Perhaps I'm suffering
from a mistaken memory, because if it really is in there, the Rashi
cited by RMB ought to be listed on page 466, along with the other Rashis.

I'd love to see this vort in the original. Can anyone point me to it?

Does anyone know the history of adding the word "hab'nuyah" to the
traditional "L'shana habaah b'Yerushalayim"?

Who, when, where, etc.?

Thanks!
