Generally very well organized

 Your security was flawed. You should check peoples IDs and tickets at the gate when they drive in. Its too late to do it when you already have a crowd of Jews in one place. Basic logic would have served well here. moderator was often muffled. tough questions not asked. It should have made us uncomfortable hearing his stories, because living in a tunnel is horrific. Venue not right. Seating too tight. Water not available.

 I was hoping for a more intimate and personal experience. The evening was very scripted. I felt when watching him on the large screen that I could have been anywhere and not in the same room

 Wonderful, inspirational speaker

 The organization of parking and entering the venue was very difficult and resulted in people having to line up outside in very difficult weather, and getting into the event late as a result of that. The talk started, although people were late, not their fault, and that was frustrating. It also seemed like the venue was not big enough to contain everyone who bought a ticket. I would also prefer to have saved and numbered seats to accommodate a more organized sitting.

 I explained above

 It was an honour to be there.

 Format and interview was not appropriate in such a large audience setting.

 Venue was a little further away than anticipated and it was hard to get into parking lot but it was a huge success once in!!

 Very well organized. Eli Sharabi’s story was beyond moving - one that urges you to have hope in spite of suffering and resiliency! Thank you for organizing this event!

 A powerful and important interview - inspiring, and with the message we needed to hear, from Eli to us, to "stay strong and be proud to be Jewish."

 To offer some feedback I would say that The location was out of the way especially during rush hour and the event was just too large and made parking difficult. That’s said I appreciate it was open to 2k people and the community was offered wide access to the event. I guess that that’s a balancing act if he was not willing to stay for 2 nights Well done all around though!

 The event was emotional and enlightening, truly excellent.

 cars had formed a long line from the street to the back and there was no one to contact to control the entrance of cars from the street while I was trying to get people to turn around and exit the lot. There was no reserved spaces for disabled people either to discharge or park. It was bitterly cold, not enough relief, and soon the plaza next door was full as well. It was not pleasant and many were angry. Parking must be organized with strategy and implemented appropriately.

 Wow - Eli is amazing! It was such an honour to be a part of the event. As a hearing aid user, I wish the microphone volume was louder. I also would have appreciated live captions on the big screens. It would have improved accessibility.

 They should have had a bathroom attendant to flush toilets. Some people attendees didn’t do that themselves. Please leave more room between guests so we aren’t squeezed in together. I loved the snacks. The flowers were beautiful too. Very nice venue. Great staff! Excellent night.

 Eli was Amazing

 Good parts: Ben Mulroney and listening to Eli. The sound system was poor, and it was hard to hear him. And forget seeing him - why not elevate the chairs more for your audience to see The rabbi mumbled and we could not hear him well. He was also very unemotional. We listened to this exact interview on. a previous podcast. Overall, I am sad I spent the money and schlepped in traffic to such a far location with inadequate parking and freezing while lining up.

 I was honoured to be part of this evening. I thought Ben Mulroney was amazing as the Masters of ceremonies. Other than the weather, it truly was very in lifting and warm night.

 I am happy I supported Eli Sharabi however the logistics and event was very disappointing that after travelling almost 2 hours in each direction to arrive, and waiting 20 minutes in the cold to get through security, the whole event was about 45 minutes.

 obviously this was a wonderful opportunity and I am so grateful that I was able to attend the event and see Eli Sharabi in person however, for feedback, the interviewer spoke too softly and the questions were not ones that really elicited the kind of information that the audience wanted to hear another person would have been a better choice for interviewer and the questions should have allowed Eli Sharabi to share more of his experiences of his day-to-day experiences

 Incredible event and memorable evening.

 What an inspiring and positive experience Eli Sharabi gives us hope I loved the idea of honouring his family with a Torah ❤️

 The evening was wonderful. Eli Sharabi was inspiring. Unfortunately, the rabbi speaking with him spoke very softly and it was difficult to hear him. Ben Mulroney was the perfect MC. The seating was very difficult. The seats were so close together, it was uncomfortable. The parking was also ridiculous. Thankfully the negatives did not take away from the evening.

 Very well planned out event. A real tribute to Eli Sharabi and Chabad of Bayview that 2,000 people braved the cold to show up.

 Very well done Thank you

 A unifying experience and having Ben Mulroney opening was brilliant

 The rabbi as interviewer was thoughtful and kind and gentle, even when asking very difficult questions. I appreciated that the into video was short and that there were not a lot of speeches/speakers. Ben Mulroney was meh. The dedication of the Torah was so meaningful and beautiful. Overall, it was a beautifully done and meaningful event and I was grateful for the opportunity.

 Inspirational evening. Grateful to have had the opportunity to be there.

 I enjoyed the event very much. My one issue was that it did not feel entirely safe as the rows of seats were packed tightly together. I’m sure you were adhering to the correct number of people in attendance wrt fire code, but it didn’t feel safe in the event of a need to evacuate. I don’t know the rules around aisle and space between rows, so maybe I’m wrong. The location was good in that everyone was able to park.

 Eli Sharabi is a hero .. an extraordinary strong incredible human being and it was a true honour to hear him speak in person after following his story daily. Ben Mulroney was a great addition. The Rabbi was a wonderfully respectful and excellent moderator. Venue was too small! Very squishy. Not enough parking which was warned in advance but we were standing outside in the freezing cold for 30 mins. Thankfully arrived early. More security / people scanning tickets next time.

 Excellent organization!

 The venue was very nice BUT the parking situation was very uncomfortable. There not enough parking spots. Many People parked in an unauthorized parking spots, private properties, and very distanced.

 The questions could’ve been better. You could barely hear the rabbi interviewing Eli. Very poorly planned

 I feel that it

 Difficult to enjoy when I was so uncomfortable Seats were uncomfortable and NO space to move. It was extremely hot and stuffy I thought I would faint. Hard to hear and couldn’t see either screen. Disappointing. Seemed like the goal was to get as many people in as possible with little interest in our comfort or ability to see/hear.

 Incredible man!

 See above

 Very nice event. Too many people in the room. Was happy to see Ben Mulroney. Thought he would be the moderator which would have been nice but thought the Rabbi did a great job. Loved the Torah idea and having them wow the first 3 letters. A beautiful touch.
