hi I'm Ellie stefanski and I'd like to share with you a very personal story we moved Heritage straw and as soon as we got to or this row we had a personal family crisis which took me out of learning for literally two years there were days upon days which I didn't even open up a safer on March 13 2016 I heard that the fioimi is starting misakis and I said to myself enough with the excuses let's get back into the daf let's start it up let's go so after dropping off my children right here in school I looked over and I see this measures I said this is a gavalica place to start that feeling I walked into the basement and I couldn't believe my eyes talking and learning stagging away and there's almost not a seat to be found so I went up and down the aisles until I found the seat and I opened up my service is right back to the Yeshiva days and so I came back for another day and another day I all of a sudden realized out of the 150 people sitting in the basement only 10 people were learning that fyami and I happened to sit directly in the center of that I turned to the fellow next to me and I asked him a question which I thought was a bomb question in milliseconds he answered it just like that and I said wow you're right so I went back to the drawing board I thought okay let me come up with something bigger and stronger and so I turned them and I say hey what about this and once again brushes it off after a few days I realized that this fellow next to me is a huge huge diamond Clapham and I have a lot to learn from them so I asked them you have time to learn with me maybe without hesitation he said sure let's learn and so for the past almost seven and a half years we hardly missed the day that day March 13 2016 is the day that my life made of 180.
