Good evening. Welcome to 30 letters in 30 days. Uh we are on letter number 19. Tonight is don't forget yalov. Um that means it's 11 days until niss. So, I want to let everybody know that um we're doing 30 letters in 30 days, as background that I try to provide regarding each of the letters. Um, yes, that's very important to me to try to explain to the best of my ability when I can uh who the person was, what the circumstances were and uh I do have a research department.

I am the guy who sits in front of the camera so it looks like it's Chase towel but it really is a whole team of people and uh without that help I would not be able to give you as much background as I do. So I want to specifically thank again I mentioned them and an earlier class but uh Alex Chmp and Mendel Rosenblau who are giving me research as I come into each class. I messed up one detail last night and that was regarding the biography of Reb Yail Mikl De Bruskin to whom last night's letter was written. He was indeed a RV in Romania as I had said. Uh I also correctly said that later he came to and he was a RV in Kyifa but I got the dates a little bit wrong. He made aliyah he moved to in 1950. So when by the time that was writing to him the the the letter that we read last
