Is that CGI NY Learning Director Moshe Frank? I heard he was directing the Childrens programing at the Fairmont over Yom Tov.

The Werners seem to really put together the classiest Pesach destinations with top-notch ruchnius and gashmius.

Wish I was there… Maybe next year Ill save up enough money to go.

is that Rabbi Pinchus Lipschutz from the Yated I see?

If so then it looks like it was a real achdus’dike Pesach!
