Let me ask to receive the Torah with joy and with abundance and with expansiveness and with blessings materially and spiritually for you and all your loved ones. Be'ezrat Hashem, next week there will be a class Tuesday. And also on Shavuot, the first night of Shavuot, we have on 18 For Shay 10:00 to 10:30 p.m. a shiur at 1:00 a.m. Everybody's invited. It's for men and women. And also the second day of Shavuot in the afternoon, 6:45 p.m. also 10:00 to 10:30 p.m. at 18 For Shay. Be'ezrat Hashem Yisborach.
