Borough Park Jews of All Stripes Celebrate 19 Kislev
Well over a thousand Jews of all stripes gathered together in Borough Park last night to celebrate Yud Tes Kislev, the Yahrtzeit of the Mezritcher Maggid and Yom Hageulah of the Alter Rebbe.
The Farbrengen was organized by Heichal Menachem, headed by Rabbi Leibel Altein. It was held at the Ateres Golda Simcha hall.
Among the crowd that filled the hall to capacity were prominent Rabbonim, Roshei Yeshiva, Maggidei Shiur and community leaders.
Among those who addressed the gathering was Rabbi Moshe Wolfson, Mashgiach Ruchni of Yeshiva Torah V’Daas, and Rabbi Ezra Schochet, Rosh Yeshivas Or Elchanan-Chabad in Los Angeles, and Rabbi Zev Katz, Gabbai of 770.

2 things:
i am confused
1) when was the farbrengen ?
2) i thought that it is not yet the 19th of kislev, how is there a farbrengen for the 19th of kislev when it is not yet the 19th of kislev ?
