Video recording of erev zikaron

I have been receiving messages from many people who were unable to enter the Zoom meeting yesterday because the number of participants had reached maximum capacity.  I apologize to everyone who wasn't able to get in.  Fortunately, the meeting was livestreamed to Facebook as well, and it is still viewable there.  You can watch a recording of the entire erev zikaron on Facebook at this link.  (The actual meeting gets underway at 9 minutes into the video.)

Thank you!

I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the erev zikaron yesterday, and for the kind feedback that many of you have given me.  It was heartwarming to spend the evening commemorating Rivka's yahrtzeit with so many friends and family members who knew her so well, and also with those of you who may not have known her as well but who joined in honoring her memory.

Thank you to David, for the moving talk that you gave.

And thank you to those who weren't able to come, but were with us in spirit.

Finally, thank you to Louise for the enormous efforts that you have made over the course of years, to make the book about Rivka into a reality.  And thank you to Raphaël as well for the help you provided, which enabled the book to be made available yesterday.

For those interested in purchasing the book, the details are below.

Besorot tovot,

We will be screening a talk originally given by Rivka in 2009, on the topic of "Coping with Adversity".
