 They're very nice and I think it was beautiful that they set up this event.

 I could not get near the venue therefore We turned around and went home Very disappointing

 This is my first event attending, and I didn't feel it was organized in a good enough way. That said, the AV was good.

 What an incredible human being!

 Beautiful and inspiring event.

 Hearing Eli speak last night was transformative. Rabbi Levy asked just the right amount of personal questions and let Eli do all the talking which I appreciated. To be honest the venue, although it was a good size had very poor organization in terms of parking and the chairs were very narrow just a little after impression that thought I would mention.

 Sold way too many tickets!!. Crammed us in there like an airport. Difficult to see speaker. Better to have kept tickets to audience of 500 Wish Eli read some excerpts from his book

 congratulations for all of the hard work and it paid off. A few things to consider. I bought a $250 ticket and when my ticket arrived it was for a $54 purchase. After 2 calls and an email it was corrected. For that I say thank you. I would consider a better ticketing system

 Parking was a disaster. Getting into the venue was very slow. My ticket wasn't checked and I wasn't asked for ID.

 The event was great. My only complaint was that we were squeezed in together like sardines. Regardless, it was an incredible, unforgettable night. What a lovely night. I loved it all especially the signing of the Torah! I’m very grateful I got to attend!

 Poor organization regarding parking and seating. They could barely hear from the back. Better to make close to the community it was far with the cold it was hard . Unorganized entry

 Dealing with Chabad is always a pleasure

 It was amazing however the moderator wasn’t as loud and clear as needed for a room full of 2000 people Hard to hear him.

 We waited 40 min outside in the freezing wind! There was no parking around I had to park on a near plaza.i arrived at 7:00 to avoid all of this. The security check was ridiculous . No one checked ID or bags or coats. Very easily a terror attack could have been made. Thank God nothing happened. The event was only 40 min long. Eli sharabi spoke for only 30 min. How this is possible? I paid $54 for this? He is a wonderful man and I’m sure he had so much more to say .

 I am so glad I got to attend and feel it was important to support Eli. I did think the event was a bit of a mess to be honest. Perhaps I'll prepared for the 2000ppl...not enough parking onsite and having all attendees stand in a snake line in the freezing cold for a half hour did not make any sense - though I can appreciate the attempt to have the event as secure as possible. It was so chaotic. On top of it, it was pretty hard to hear- and I am 37 and have excellent hearing

 The event was great only issue was the Rabbi's voice trailed off a few times so we could not hear what he asked or stated at time except for the odd word.

 Incredibly moving. My husband and I attended with another couple from Tillsonburg, none of us are Jewish, but we prayed for the release of the hostages after Oct. 7 and keep praying for healing, for Israel, and for the Jewish community in Canada. Absolutely worth attending. The only thing that may’ve made it better is if we could have sung the Hatikvah at the end. Either way, thank you for organizing, bringing Eli so close to us, and an amazing event. Just finished the book!

 Seating to close

 very moving and inspirational

 Ben Mulroney was great as usual. Eli Sharabi is it true inspiration to all amazing story and of course, I read the book. The rabbi doing them moderation asking the questions did a good job. However, at times he spoke very low and it was very hard to hear. The sound should’ve been louder in that room.. Overall I did enjoy the event. It wasn’t too long or too short just right.

 I must comment on the venue and the parking. The main parking area was full and even though we had a handicap sticker we were not allowed in and had to park quite far away in the shopping plaza. We ended up walking on icy sidewalks along Highway 27 and braved the extreme cold. There should have been a shuttle bus or help getting people to the venue. Security was not efficient and I was able to walk right in without even showing my ticket ! Eli Sharabi is a true hero

 The rabbi was a terrific interviewer. He kept the focus on the guest and was otherwise very humble. The use of two different cameras was very effective in enabling all those in the audience to see the guest very well. Offering snacks to all attendees was brilliant considering the timing of the event. Having Ben Mulroney act as emcee was a great choice --- so nice to see that family supporting Jews and Israel.

 Fantastic evening and Rabbi Levi did a wonderful job with his well thought out and delivered questions. Eli Sharabi is a wonderful strong human being. No political speeches! Well done!

 Ben Mulroney is a wonderful Jewish supporter and I enjoyed having him speak. Loved hearing Eli speak from the heart. Painful and powerful.

 Great event. The issue was parking and getting into the building.

 not a good venue. Parking was a nightmare, entering the venue in the bitter cold was a nightmare. Location too far(30min commute). Should have been done at- The BAYT or City PlayHouse Theater

 Because the event was out of Toronto ans up in Vaughan I did not attend as it was too far to drive on the highway ( which I do not do) at night. I called Chabad and told them I was not attending and to give my tickets to someone else.

 I really enjoyed. There was some confusion about which door the VIP were to go through. All in all i was very pleased and moved by the event. The rabbi had thought provoking questions and the conversation left the room with inspiration

 The event was great but the venue was not great it was very crowded hardly space to sit. The rabbi spoke so quiet that I personally did not hear or understand a word if what he said
