  1. i feel that this year, an ‘unconventional’ convention should be held.
    a video or c.d. should be made of all of the speakers who were to be at the weekend; anyone who was planning on attending should ‘pay’ for the video/c.d. and all of the funds should go towards helping acheinu bnei yisroel, to help them rebuild their lives.
    imagine the amount of funds that would be generated by people who Baruch Hashem were able to spend it anyway on a Shabbos.
    i am certain that they would be inspired by their own magnanimous gesture, as well as the words of the gedolim they would hear on the c.d. they would receive.
    let us all consider this ‘unconventional’ suggestion this year; and may our merits bring about the geulah b’karov.

  2. To #4: That would defeat the whole purpose of the convention, which is to convene to discuss the problems currently facing klal Yisroel, brainstorming, and coming up with solutions to these problems. Its purpose is more than to just informing.
