Need another Agent Emes Episode to keep me going
Rabbi Engels!
That’s my tatty!!!! I love u!!!!
u rock more then being a silver smith 😉

Moish,
Excellent excellent! Great presentation and great talent.
Your good nature shows in everything you do.
Including letting me play your Yamaha PSR keyboard in Gan Yisroel in Parksville over 20 years ago 😉
A friend and constant admirer.
I had my candlesticks dipped so that I don’t have to polish them that often. I would recommend it to everyone who would like to polish once a year instead of twice a month.

(Cue here to William Tell Overture with an image of Moshe wearing a black Stetson, galloping courageously over hill and dale , Tzitzis flying in the wind: “Moshiach Is Coming! Moshiach Is Coming!)
