this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com you know we were here about approximately two and a half years ago i want to thank my host for brandeis who brought me here two and a half years ago but we're here again because padam khadash is because last year in february unfortunately the cavern was desecrated so we're here a year later this is really uh it's been redone and when we were here last we set over the story told me a story last time i remember that one of the outstanding qualities of the manchester rashiva was his surah everybody even people didn't know him they look at the picture i know somebody back in queens he says every matsuya shabbos after havdalah he has a picture of the manchester roshiva smiling and that's what that's how he begins the week there's something special about his surah so if i remember correctly there was an individual who was at a flea market and how do you say the flea market here in england the car boot sale and he bought a book and this was a book about the manchester shiva and he read the book a gentile and he converted to judaism just looking at the picture he was taken in by the picture and so moved from the story that it changed his life so imagine somebody who just saw his picture on a book it changed his life imagine those who actually knew him imagine those who learned from him now his father yitzchak was a talmud outdoor in the verdict and i had a smikha from the arkhashohan and ramoshitsak started yeshiva in manchester and when he he was very ill he passed away so the manchester rosh shiva would be who at that point in time was uh the de facto russia shiva but had not give been given the official appointment there were some members on the board who felt he was such at sadiq he was so righteous you know rashiva has other responsibilities as well where she has to fundraise has to make connections with people and there was deliberations when robichuska labromski came here to this country he encouraged at the appoint uh the manchester russia shiva but be resume what happened was he was actually offered a post by the panavic to be on the leadership of the panavicious shiva and he accepted it and he was going to move to binebrach and the president of the board of the shiva became very ill and he had a dream and in the dream he felt that the manchester unishiba's father was upset that he did not do his part in implementing and making sure that became the rasha shiva and he got out of his bed and he convened a meeting and he said no we have to bring in the mansion now all this time you should know that what bromski suggested you know what make the manchester shiva like temporary roshashiva because you could at any time bring in somebody bigger and he would happily step down you know because the entire time he did not want to he did not want to get into any macholicas with anybody on the board he had no hard feelings that sort of they didn't appoint him right away but has made the president of the board appointed him and he recovered that week and now the manchester united has a big dilemma should he go to panama she had accepted the position or she stayed in manchester he sent the letter to rob destler to ask hazard said that he should stay in manchester um manchester ushiva was a loving father to his tamidim you know of course every rash of shiva is a great mabes torah what was unique was he would ask each talmud their name their hebrew name in the name of their mother to be able to pray for them and of course he's uh famous for instituting the shmir salashan calendar which has spread over the whole world you know when it started i think he hand wrote the calendar and then they printed it based on his uh writing but he really spread the uh importance and the value of uh learning sever khafiz khayim and that's why his brothers were so uh nazcabel and so powerful as somebody who's careful with their words their words carry tremendous weight so we hope over here in this class of dabbing all of our true love should be nice [Music] you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
