0:00 It's special for us too... It's moving to see the Rabbi. For me too, for me too. We see - my whole family sees my mother, my whole family sees you on video, and it is truly moving. One cannot know what you... You are moving me, truly. I want you to pass on to all the friends, and to all... pass on a message. Can you pass them a message?

0:29 - Yes, of course. - To all the French, including those who were not here? - Yes. Tell everyone that I love them and bless them, and that they are a tremendous light to the non-Jews. And I felt as on Chanukah, when they are in the dark and see Chanukah menorahs. Tell them like this, they are a tremendous light to all the Jews. Will you pass this on to them from me? - Of course. That the message reach everyone. Tell them, I love them, I bless them, I pray for them and they are tzaddikim.

0:56 We thank them for all that they helped and assisted and also strengthened and encouraged this holy path of illuminating Hashem's light in the world. We thank them and bless them and believe in them and love them. And with Hashem's help, may we merit to shine the light over everything we do here in the world, to illuminate Hashem, blessed be He, in the world. May we have, with Hashem's help, a Beis Midrash in Jerusalem and a Beis Midrash in the Center, to accommodate crowds of worshippers, and sick and poor people, to continue to help them, for whom it is hard to enter the public audience, and to publish all the books. Tell them, for all that they helped and assisted, they will have a great blessing from heaven.

1:37 Amen. Pass this on to everyone, Amen, to everyone...
