Okay, good evening everyone. Lag B'Omer. Welcome to Hilula de Rashbi Tavshin Pey Vav Look, I don't I don't think too many people are in Meron this year anyway. So, most of the great celebrations are taking place in Yerushalayim. And by Shalshudis we actually spoke about that we hope we're hopeful that this is symbolic of the fact that all Torah and all Kedusha are coming closer to Yerushalayim. But if you have to be in America, it's always best to be in the holiest place in America, which is Cedarhurst. Why? Because when Mashiach comes, it's the closest area to JFK. So, in Likras the whole it has of any place in America it has the most Kedusha as Eretz Yisrael. First we want to thank the host, the Yachnes family, Reb Nissan Yachnes for hosting tonight's event.
