Siyum HaShas - Toronto Heroes of The Daf

[Music] in 1923 rev mayor Shapiro's at Seoul who was the Russia Shiva Aviva's Hawkman lublin introduced the concept of the DeFeo me at the first Kaneesha gaedola in vienna the learning of the da fiel me would serve as a unifying force connecting hidden around the globe regardless of where a jew would find himself he would always be able to connect with other hidden who were likewise involved with the same lima such a program would ensure that no section of shots would ever be forgotten arriving in Toronto in 1927 rothmeyer Shapiro brought with him his fire finding the small fledgling key Gila at its earliest stages he ignited within at the desire to remain connected to the devar hashem through lima Hatari organizing an official group the first Toronto Davi ami Fedora was formed after the war a dedicated group of the shavers half later expanded the DAF Yomi initiative at a time when many of us a new Benes rel who ready to cast off the yoke of torah and yiddish kite in search of a new beginning these starch remain steadfast gathering together on a daily basis that continued the legacy of kilos Ishika EP sorry after a number of years due to the unwavering efforts of these great men yeshivas and : they were established raising our community to new heights of Torah greatness throughout all of the decades a steady fixture which remained constant has been the learning of the DeFeo weather and the skyscrapers of Toronto's financial district or in the shoes and bottom Enders throughout our city DAF Yomi Sheeran continued to remain one of our city's gems tonight we come together and celebrate our keela's greatest achievement the everlasting commitment to limit ha Tara for each and every June [Music] or the Israel you go to Europe you go to Africa you go and if whoever you go America Canada you always wherever you go there's Duffy only sure and these people end up beyond me so I think that fee only changed the whole world when when the learning tough young meat is a certain kind of community that everybody gets together camaraderie that develops and everybody was doing it and then we said hey why can't we do it if you have to really structure your time very carefully in order to give it that you owe me share because you never know you know the day before you're going to give it exactly what to expect what's gonna be on the page see this of available Blum who was given the credit for the fini was not to learn about today that was not a finish the finish was he understood the psychology of people that if everybody will learn the same - I'd have to follow a schedule and the feeling we want to be at the center would push people on and I have seen that I did see in front of me before behind so we have to catch up catch up to what - the schedule which is a worldwide schedule magic chair or my Bergman was away on vacation and we would determine not to miss he got up six o'clock in the morning got into his car and did this year my phone for us that was what really Schultz like commitment someone who commits to not showing me day in and day out either it's Venice man and young - or even Tish above the consistency of Tom metoya must impact the one who learns it and the entire family my wife throughout many years of when we were younger and doing a lots of carpool really was most learn a fish to get up early in the morning so that I could go teach the Daath and she would do carpool for the children and in that respect we were all doing the Daath together as a family it is it is some teacher which is once you started then you were not to let it go you're so touched that you want to keep very busy you know you have to meet the goal somehow you do it if there's an opportunity to say I know it's late at night or whatever it is I'm traveling I'm doing something else make the time and and recognize that if you make a commitment to Duffy I mean you have to make that time to keep going to keep to keep it consistent because otherwise it is very difficult any mug each year who commits himself to giving the Duff yo meat there's a hero he's somebody who wants to make sure that his students have learned the Duff and he puts in all that efforts to prepare and to give the Sheeran that's really a hero the hero for me and Duff yummy there's not even a hesitation is our mug each year Ari Brown he is so well prepared and he's one of these maguey this year and we have a very active Shearer it's not just sitting and listening everybody throws in comments and we have some very capable tell me to calm him and he manages to deal with the questions when people ask stupid questions he makes them sound smart and you know it's just it's just a pleasure to have somebody and because he's so clear on the knowledge of the dot you don't get knocked off your game when everybody's asking questions it's it's just amazing my personal hero of the Daath is rabbi Aria Rosenberg is a chronal abraca we just recently passed away just weeks away from the sium that we're about to partake in because we're by Rosenberg had studied in yeshiva x' in Hungary and Czechoslovakia before the war there was a certain gear Sabean kusa a memory of the Gemara that he had studied in his youth in Europe that is very rare to find among people today because we're losing those survivors who came over from Europe and when we lose that person we feel that great sense of loss because we know it will never be replaced my father started the Duff yummy he convinced drive Irishmen of the coil the bald bottom of the city need a proper Duff famous year to go to that dr. Amos year is still going on today maybe in 1972 Moshe salty got on my case that we should have enough yummy there was no official document the time mush result himself used to come every day at 6:30 and just before the end he would go back to Antioch today and go to Tom chakras [Music] my father makes alone either kosher fishing so if question was what you there's no question that when a person immerses themselves in torch about that into this portion of Torah knowledge on a daily basis their mind is occupied by this for the entire day on some level whether conscious or subconscious and it really does affect the way that a person thinks the way a person approaches life and hopefully it raises the level of a person's both ethical and moral behavior over the course of an entire day learning the Deaf has made me realize what I'm capable in terms of learning and you have that motivation of knowing that you have to finish this daf and have to catch up with it off whatever it is and you put in the extra time you realize that you can put yourself more than you thought you could travel a lot for business and I can't switch off my phone before downloading the date to stuff onto my phone for switching off and also I've got a ship around very thick art scroll camera we have our travel what makes the DAF different is that one is connecting on a very real level with hundreds of thousands of other people throughout the world who are studying the exact same page on the exact same day the next ride together your perpetual running to try to get you that's a glove exact you never get Jeff it's always catch up today it's my turn again you learned a few me that gives us a constant with you and of course if a person is at one of your base you know they weren't a base better you know who feel base he knows that feel base better because Ganz chances other callosity vodkas in there Shapiro envisioning the situation which Jews all over the world be learning the same stuff every day and I think you see it on a smaller scale ensure that you have individuals who are involved in learning deaf know me coming through the same shear it really has a ripple effect the entire show and we've seen the people who have can be his angels and the love contagious because they know that there is a deaf ear this year after that and obviously Ethier a Sikh is not that famous per se that imitative the cubital diminish and through layer and have a vial of I I so she continued to go up upward upward in that direction and of course you know model teeth to all those who the same chance and a biggest little to all those were his asset in the arrangement of this beautiful toffee me see him [Music] you [Music]
