He wrote it to Rav Yifat Adayan, who was in Israel. And he's talking about the recollections of them traveling together. He says, when we went, we left Akko, and from Akko we went to Yerushalayim, even though there was a Sakana there. And we went to the great house of HaKadosh and we prayed here. And this is for anybody who was in the Harabite thing.""
