    What was the focus of the event. Was this a fundraiser, or a spiritual event or a way to build connections?

    looks like a way to build connections, and whoever thought of it, i think it’s brilliant! Yahser Koach!

    There aren’t many details, but it is a way to build connections, and if done as other shluchim have, there is usually a short dvar torah at some point.
