First I want to tell you what it means to me to address such a huge civil of rabbonim teachers of Torah. I will never forget many years ago when I visited in Union City mighty for Rabbi the elegant closing of the Rabbi was a giant of our time in every way and title. In our voida in her said It was in his elderly years he was feeble. I walked into his room and he was sitting on the couch. He gave me his hand and he said Sir Helki Makola Amoli as a whole pal me them might be say Torah. And I cried. The closing of the Rabbi such an accomplished lifetime rebuilding Yiddish guide after the Holocaust building and establishing towns in this soil Yashiva's and both the young cave thousands upon thousands of tell me them and her see them building the Laniado Hospital and he said his greatest achievement the Helki Makol Amoli as a hope tell me that Marbit say Torah that I have tell me them that are Marbit Torah. So appreciate. Appreciate what it means to teach Torah. We turn to our Kodish Bohu every day Hamel Amates Torah la Amay Israel. And we try to do the same. So I've come in Sunday morning. They haven't given me one moment to sit down and rest. So this assembly is definitely a highlight of my visit to address such a huge crowd of Rabonim and Marbit say Torah teachers of Torah with the Helkeinu Makol Amolenu. We've all come here and many Gadolem that are older than me with real Mesirus Nefesh taking this huge effort each one of us leaving his Koder his Yeshiva his writing his teaching for one reason
