Thousands Expected at Mega Hakhel Event
“We were there, we saw with our eyes, and we trembled in awe. But what about our children in fact the entire generation who did not have the zechus to see. As my last will and testimony, I ask of you to gather the Jewish people. Everybody, man woman and child once every seven years. They should gather on Succos in the Beis Hamikdosh, and the king of the Bnei yisroel should read from the Torah, as a messenger from G-d. To everyone at the gathering it will be like Hashem himself was talking to them, instilling an awe for Hashem for the rest of their lives.”
