The reward of the hilula gathering is in the words

Tonight, the night of the holy hilula of our holy and pure Rebbe zy"a, our holy kehilla in Kiryas Joel will hold the "Chassidim Relate" gathering, with incidents and stories about the Rebbe zy"a told by elder members of the kehilla, at 9:00 in our great beis medrash, followed by a lechayim gathering.

His merit should protect us
