Mom: That's why we went and got our passports last month, remember? 

Emma: Bur I don't like my picture, I had my hair cut the day before and I didn't like it. 

Mom: When we leave in the airport, we can go to the automatic passport control, no one will see the picture, don't worry. 

Eli: Mom, can we go to 770 Eastern Parkway?  You know the Rebbe's house! 

Mom: Yes, that is the main reason we are going there, to visit the Rebbe's z"l house.

Eli:And I want to see the Hadar HaTorah Yeshiva, maybe I can plan to go there for a year?  https://www.hadarhatorah.org/
