  1. Enjoyed the pictures! Did you notice that a nice sized portion of them show cases of water and packages of food being prepared for participants? What is it with us Yidden and food? Every occasion, simcha, chag, asifa- and a good part of our preparations–Food!!

  2. To #2: I want to just remind u that many ppl left their home before 4 oclock and won’t be returning till after 11 pm. Klal Yisroel cares for each other like immediate family and won’t forget the details that might make our brothers uncomfortable in any way. Keep it up!

  3. To: #2, Mi Keamcha Yisrael! Look how yidden are caring for each other & packing food for everyone. Most people won’t be arriving at home before 12 o’clock p.m. It’s unbelievable how much food was donated from numerous catering facilities to provide for these people.

  4. Such a co-operative event promises good things for the Jewish people. Vision, courage and trust building is required across the board.
