Thursday, June 19: Brooklyn

Friday/Shabbos June 20–21: Monsey

Monday, June 23: Toronto

Tuesday, June 24: Five Towns

Various events are in the works for each city on the itinerary. More details about specific events, locations and times will be shared in the coming days.

  1. How is it possible to visit Baltimore and Monsey and Los Angeles on one day and spend any meaningful amount of time in those places?

  2. The Satmar rebbe, obviously many years ago said there will come a time that an ehrliche yid will not be able to live in eretz Yisroel and he was laughed at and told he was speaking loshon hara
