I would venture to say it was the annual Yeshiva dinner and the first at Westbury I also spotted Jozsi Lazar Z’L and Mr. Charness
this was about 3 months after my Bar Mitzvah, I will try to get you my bar mitzvah video as Rabbi Kramer was in attendance and he was one of the speakers

nice

Besides having a great laugh, I felt a tug deep inside my gut. This video reminds me of the good old days in Montreal with Ziknai Anash of that time. Such great memories. Life just seemed so uncomplicated then. Thanks for sharing.
