A Kinus Torah was held in the main shul of 770 on Chol Hamoed with hundreds of bochurim and anash attending.

Speaking were Rabbi Shmuel Kraus and Harav Yosef Braun, member of the Crown Heights Beis Din.

Rabbi Braun discussed what to do if one said a bracha by urchatz during the seder, drawing from earlier and recent sources, as well as the various shemuos in the name of the Rebbe on the matter. 

He also discussed the general reliability of shemuos in the name of the Rebbe and whether they could be relied on, especially in matters of halacha l’maaseh.

Rabbi Kraus spoke on the topic of cleanliness in a shul.
