Dear fellow community me mbers, Many have pointed out that CHAZAQ has had many big events in the past,and if so what makes this night different than any other night? While their question is indeed valid, I answer the m as follows: What makes tonight different than all other nights, is that while on all other nights we have one speaker, tonight we have four (if you include the MC). While on all other nights, we have programs in local Synagogues and must therefore sit straight and in a dignified manner, tonight we are in a local public school auditorium and may sit in a reclined fashion while enjoying the music and entertainment. While on all other nights we offer delicious food and refreshments,tonight we may not serve any food at all (sorry… policy of the school). Jokes aside, what really makes tonight’s CHAZAQ Event unique, is the fact that we have had the opportunity to gather over one thousand fellow community me mbers, under one roof with one common goal: To help CHAZAQ build a stronger future. While we are quite confident that you will (be”h) be inspired and entertained by tonight’s phenomenal program, in reality this event isn’t just about tonight, it’s about tomorrow. By joining us, you have become a partner in CHAZAQ’s mission of inspiring local teenagers and helping the m shape up their future as successful young men and women. On behalf of the entire CHAZAQ staff, I thank you in advance for making this event a great success and I thank you for your continued support in helping CHAZAQ build a stronger future. Yours truly, Yaniv Meirov Operations manager
