This is how people ask for a reservation,

"please reserve for [name redacted] - seat a seminar
 
i wish you would do it in monsey in the future - or mid week because i work in Brooklyn - and not intrested to shlep in just for this
 
thanks allot"



Also I wish you would park my car for me Dan as I drive alot during the week and I don't feeling parking in boro park it's a major schlep and your good with finding things

@Dan

Seriously?  You flew all the way to BP and Lakewood but cant fly a few more miles to Israel to give one here?  I mean everything is perfect here...you will give two seminars...one with a mechitza and one without....no one will complain.  As simple as that.
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Funny ALOL. If you made in Monsey then Brooklyn people would complain. No winning.

What age group would you say the majority of the crowd was?

Probably a third of the people needed better than step-by-step directions for paypal and a quarter wanted to know when and where it would be.

A surprisingly varied crowd age-wise. Much older than DDF without a doubt.

I looked at it as quite the chutzpah. You come to the heart of BP and you have the audacity to ask to have mixed seating? These people need to get a life.
He didn't come into your house to do it, he rented a hall in a girls' school for heavens sake! Don't like it don't come.

For those who weren't there, you missed out, after the Q&A we had a mixed dancing session...

I'm not taking about Dan. Dan advertised the mechitza. I'm talking about those people.

And yes, there is such a thing as minhag hamakom.

I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

I work in the city and hope to get to the seminar by 8:00 tomorrow. Can't really leave earlier. I have a reservation. However, the bus...

Is there a way that I can keep my seat until 8:15 or so?

There were 450 people from every possible jewish background who managed to figure that part out.

you're right, even though I that still doesn't answer the argument on the principal

This is how people ask for a reservation,

"please reserve for [name redacted] - seat a seminar
 
i wish you would do it in monsey in the future - or mid week because i work in Brooklyn - and not interested to shlep in just for this
 
thanks allot"


I think ppl think you made money on this so they're being greedy, just explain that for $5 dollars its leshem mitzvah


Probably a third of the people needed better than step-by-step directions for paypal and a quarter wanted to know when and where it would be.

saying that if I successfully churned a few cards and know how to uploaded to BB even with a gift card and know what HUCA means I should not travel to lakewood.
