Rabbi Meir Shushan emceed the evening with many Chassidic stories and Divrei Torah. The honored guest speakers were Rabbi Mordechai Gurary and Rabbi Eliyahu Matasov who gave over inspiring speeches and personal stories.

The music was traditional Sephardic folk songs (piyutim) performed by the multi-talented duo Uri Biton and Avi Peretz.
