יומן מתמוז תשמ"ה עד טבת תשמ"ז - ר' ישראל נח וואגעל (אנגלית)

The dancing on Eastern Parkway was in full force. Every few moments another bunch of people arrived, and joined the dancing. To everyone's surprise, there was no shortage of Mashke even quite early on. It seems, two bochurim said to themselves, what will happen when there will be Didan Notzach, it will take a long time to get Mashke. So for a whole year, from after the court case, they collected leftover Mashke from any simcha, and so about ten minutes after the news arrived, a station wagon pulled up with loads of Mashke inside.

One of the Rabonim said: one should make a Brocho shehecheyanu and Hatov Vehameitiv. [I went over to a Mashpia and told him what the Rov said, and he immediately said the Brochos. I figured I needed someone more charismatic, so I went over to a Bochur who was a loudmouth, and told him what the Rov had said, the Bochur jumped onto the wall, and said loudly everyone repeat after me, and a lot of people said the brochos together].
