yes i was at E&J day. Thanks for putting this together and facilitating the exchanges that took place. I do have 2 questions about all this. 1) At the onset of the rally, Alan van Capelle said some beautiful words in Hebrew. Do you know the name of the prayer? 2)Assemblyman O'Donnell said something about the bill A07732 coming to the assembly floor for a vote on monday. Did Imis-hear him or is it true? Thanks for both answers!
