the colleen of this faraday of toronto and of course the people who would take care of this coral may hashem give them brewed with the hood of the satakim tonight is the ruler of my father and peter may they could be with you for the supporting the colleen of toronto and then i wish to the leaders of this cornell and especially my special thanks to all what the work that has been done by rav lugarcy shalita thank you very much she bless you to them i believe that my involvement in the koala is because the koala is the institution that is upholding torah in our community there are such strong powers outside of the colon walls that are trying to destroy the spirituality of the jewish nation and i see the colo as an opportunity to resist those powers the bria the pillar that goes through amistra el as the main part of amistra is their connection to torah and baruch hashem we've seen many people who have tapped into this torah center and have grown tremendously in their turanya achamaen it's beautiful to see how much that's grown and you see people are really getting connected the same faces again with new faces but they keep on coming back and for more and more for the felix to be part of the kill to be part of the warmth to join in the family of the hill to really grow in their avoidance hashem and the friendship and the closeness that's really growing together as a community the rosh kolel in the few short years that he's here has made a name for himself as a top-level tamit he's a muslim not only in terms of the torah that he knows but also as a person as an individual abamidota and we're very proud to call him the rosh kollel of rabbi what it's a dick he's a wonderful wonderful tadique very humble with musha habbin who is humble rabbi hassan is also very humble and he does a great job the harvard and he's been a wonderful addition the rosh collette has a tremendous impact in his shurim where he gives it to men women and also the events that the colette recently started for women themselves not just for the men but also they have events for the women that they themselves could come could leave their house could grow and grow in the torah and in their mind come here on a nightly basis you'll see whether it's young people whether it's religious people older people irreligious people those wherever they're holding in different lives you see that him are able to connect with them on each one according to their level and that's what keeps people coming back there's no doubt that the coral is only as strong as the average him and that's what really attracts everybody you come to the cola and you see that the place is booming people just want to come and dive in the cola the cola does is not a place where you socialize necessarily but it's a place that people just feel attached to they just want to be part of the koala because they feel that this is the truth this is where a person should be spending his time i was from the first afrikim and i see baruch hashem many families many ladies many boys perhaps i'm getting closer and closer to to borahola and i see that baruch hassan many many families that have been affected by the color each one at his own level at his own pace rabbi israel first he's a powerhouse and he's a doer he's a good getter we're very impressed with him he does a great job we're very happy that he got involved in the coll i know he doesn't make any money out of this but his his heart is in it and he helps the whole community without asking for anything for himself he gives himself a hundred percent people feel privileged and they like to participate to partner with the colleen people are tremendously happy with what's going on with the cole and happy to participate and partner with us this coil is not just a place to come learn it's a place to join the most beautiful flourishing community in toronto that i've come in contact with the rescue i feel is a very good kium of gaza today you know diverter dad you know there's no there's no gimgum you ask him something he's sharp he's quick in the sugar that we're learning and anything that you ask him he's not much things are on the fingertips during seder oftentimes there's mama kolodub there's you know there's a lot of energy in the learning we are so lucky to be in a kulel where we are so well taken care of by the administration we can learn with with peace of mind akolil will there is such a high caliber of learning we have a rosh kolel he gives us clarity in and he gets the depth of the sugyot very well and we are so happy to be part of a community where we can grow together each community is very important in and of itself the independence of each one is is very important but together we work together to create the what toronto is what thornhill as also as part connects itself to toronto and i'm very happy to be a part of it and part of helping it grow more and more i've been in toronto for years and looking for a place where i could bring my family so we can learn and pray according to our traditions and to have a real mood a person to look up to prosper we can't thank you enough for having the vision to have started the call 20 years ago and to have seen it through with all your koikas and making sure that we got to this place today thanks to him he started the first column very curious and even though we moved up north he's still having a color for the fiumi every night he has many abarim and people that come and study over there and at least we have a place in center and we have one upload i cannot be more proud now of what's happening to the city and it's a wonderful job i wish there to the caller to have you should give his strength to have levi arush raise mahmush behind every minute of the coll should give you bro and we share her good news and get bigger and stronger you come into the cola and you see everybody is so comfortable in the colo and they're comfortable in the cold because the leadership here is so warm many times wives have questions for husbands and they'll say okay i'll call a rabbi or you know i'll do something you know what i come over to the cola no problem and it might be something that you know is urgent maybe something to do with the kosher kitchen something to do with uh something that my wife is in the middle of when i learned in heir to cereal in yeshiva for a year i wasn't sure what was going to be when i got back here you know where i was going to learn who was going to take care of me and the second i walked into the koala the rosh kola rabbisrihan and were incredibly welcoming to be in my family and i'm proud to call this place my new home they engage you they're here answer questions i learn with them regularly three times a week it's really an amazing place i view uh the colal and the abraham and the leadership of the coll just like family it's a big source of inspiration for me and my family the amazing people that come to the coast are a great inspiration for me the respect that people that come here that they give to the torah is something that is very important so i enveloped my days with torah with with tefila and it's a beautiful thing to have in the neighborhood and to have the abraham and the russia i can't wait to come here in the morning and start my day off right it's changed our lives it's added more spirituality to our lives more of a community to our lives we're connected we have a connection and a place to call home i just want to say a big hazaku baruch to all the avrez the rosh kola rabbis rean the way they open up their hearts and their learning and their time to share with us the sparticol is our home there's no secret that to have barack you need to have torah and no better place than the house of torah in our community i often stay to learn here to learn that the call after i would leave around 11 o'clock and very often if not every night there is at least a couple of that are still here learning torah i feel that the kyle became a big part of my life and the merchant will continue to be a big part of my life and my family and i are extremely grateful and privileged to be part of such a makham terra the amount of kilushah every time i opened this door not only the kid of shabbat this place but the robin rabbi hassan rabbi israel rav leviarus all the rabbi here are just amazing i tried myself a few times attempted with adorabanim sam approached me somebody approached to open a caller we were never successful for every reason hashem had until he's a helitove prosper ugassi he had the initiative and he was able to do it and since then he initiated the collar i've been part of it i said what happens when we're learning two or three times a week and and since then i would say becoming like a like an addiction currently for me that i never been in my lifetime neither in yeshiva near cole but today to see my own kids and my grandkids going to the korean the kuala lumpur personally broke hashem i'm very good friends with some of the rabbis that have come through the koala i'm friendly with many many people here and it really impacts my life to have such video torah associated with me on a daily basis the growth of the koala is an amazing and beautiful thing to see from the days of the promenade to here in sobies plaza and also what's amazing is on the yom noor uh you know rosh hashanah yom kippur to see the amount of people that flocked to makom torah to davin to pray to hashem and really connect to uh to the source it's a really really beautiful thing to see and i'm very excited that the koala is now expanding and making room for more people from the community and i hope more people will join us and really appreciate this gem that we have in the community you
