Were you there on Hei Teves?
There are some similarities, and some differences.
+1
yes, very good for us all across the USA to be able to see the action. It was basically 48 hrs, with possibly consuming the same amount alcohol in that 2-day time period as the 4-5 day Hei Teves in the 80's. But the sheer happiness, joy and unity from all areas is quite remarkable and amazing.
Alcohol consumption was much higher on Hei Teves 5747.
Spontaneous dancing started in front of 770 and continued there without moving indoors at least until Mincha (about 3.5 hours).
Crowd was more homogenous on Hei Teves 5747.
No one played music that was cut short as inappropriate for 770 on Hei Teves 5747, and the singer at the microphone was something totally different.
