foreign means a lot to me from the first moment I met the rabbi I had a special connection just being close to him ignites a flame inside of you being part of this mignon has been a tremendous addition to my life it's very very warm and everyone has a very good attitude to learn and to grow together the truth is what madrasion has accomplished the last few years is incredible it's essentially a large group coming together and not just coming and leaving coming and building a relationship as one it's something I've never experienced before in my life [Music] as everybody knows is the main show of the community and I grew up in the show I was one of the kids you know running in the lobby and playing around and it was more of a shul the rabbi gave a Class A speech and that was the entire function of the shul today you come into charizion from early morning to late at night it is packed every inch is being utilized to the maximum it's a revolution of Torah and our community this Minyan developed at a thin air there were people from all different areas that came together as a group the beginnings with Rabbi Joey Miz and how he brought everybody together was a very special beginning and through the years the camaraderie the growth we saw a tremendous togetherness and unity and we saw that there was a real thirst for more people to be part of learning [Music] my favorite part of the program is the Saturday morning breakfast with uh class the content is just so on point so applicable that we can actually take home with us Shabbat morning to me is really something special it feels like a vacation from life just to be in this room with people that I care about I love coming here so bad morning and just seeing how happy everyone is everybody together it's just an Energizer for the rest of the week Sunday morning class the rabbi usually prepares a thorough topic where we go into detail and the way the rabbi prepares that class is very intriguing and very informing starting my day off with Torah is basically what I look forward to in Miami most we went to Israel as a minion this year it only made the mignon and the boys have a greater intensity in their relationships with one another with the ability to come for an extra Class come an extra night a week be part of more I feel like the Israel was a turning point for Armenian so when we came back I was 100 into it like wanting to add more and more and more as much as I can is tremendous every year the pudding party is so special it's uplifting also on Sukkot we sing we dance we have a great time the events and the different programs that we've had throughout the years this builds the character of the manyana and it built who we are who we became and I feel very honored to be part and parcel of this great Kayla Hashem now I'm learning every day with the rabbi for the past two years I feel like it made me more like I have a bigger purpose I can't start my day off if I'm not learning with the rabbi in the morning I never had this driver before I was always pushing myself to start learning but now it's an enjoyment that I didn't have ever in my life there's something that can't be described in terms of waking up every morning and being excited to come learn gemara every morning it just starts off your dance your high note that you can't be knocked off your pedestal anything else that comes your way you're just not affected there's nothing that compares to it it's just you know guys that they want to be putting time into themselves and into each other and into the Torah the people that we have in this vignan as well as the rabbi creates an excellent and amazing aura and it really trickles into all areas of my life there's probably nobody that comes to learn that did it for a few days and then just said nah this is not for me whoever came they stayed they kept coming every single thing I'm doing my life is different because I'm learning everything people don't go to classes you're trying to tell them how much better they can get they don't know until they actually come and being here with us there's days that once in a while if I'm missing class in the morning my days are just not the same I feel like it made me more complete before I came to Charlotte Zion a lot of rabbis in the community were giving me like advice on Facebook and guidance and you know in the beginning it's going to be very slow it could take five years to get people to come to learn what I expected to have you know a few people interested in learning and maybe over the years develops a relationship and Way Beyond my wildest imagination the first morning I started in this room there was maybe 20 people throughout that wasn't just the first day but the entire year we continued with shooting and then the next year this year doubled and from morning to night to weekends it's just been amazing something I didn't expect at all [Music] thank you is with us and the exponential growth that we've seen since that all building on the foundation that Robin is started is tremendous the rabbi has tremendous humility a lot of patience and a very uncanny ability to make his students feel very comfortable every single second with the rabbi is a learning experience on how you can become a better person is my hero he's somebody that came into my life and flipped everything I knew upside down every piece of advice he ever gave me tenfold came back to me when I listened to what he had to say if I were to describe Rabbi soror in one word it would be authentic the rabbi is so true to his work and genuinely cares about us he has such a big heart that he's able to really commit to every single person in the mignon a few months ago I had astronaut by a lucky question the most interesting thing was that after I spoke to the rabbi a few times every day that week the rabbi would come to me and ask me so any updates that's just incredible that's something that you don't you don't see Rabbi shirur is the engine behind why midracion has been explosive over the last year I'm confident that this is only the beginning I just want to give a special thank you and hakarata to my wife and my children for allowing me to learn and to be in school so often I know I'm in shul a lot and I must say that I appreciate greatly all the self-sacrifice of my wonderful wife I would like to thank my wife for constantly pushing me out of bed every morning and making sure that I come to class rushing out of the house every week night and Saturday afternoons requires a family commitment I believe that I owe everything to my wife she is the number one supportive person in my life she pushes me to grow my wife for sure deserves all the things you know I'm learning at 7am I'm learning at 8pm those are probably the hardest hours in my house with the kids and she's the one pushing me to go I want to thank my wife uh for pushing me to come to class I would like to thank my my wife and my kids for supporting me and being there for me special thank you to my wife and my kids my wife were always pushing me for always supporting me it's just amazing that she's so involved in my growth and helping me with my growth I personally owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to Ezra 15 years ago I wasn't learning at all and really I think the Ezra is the one that got me to start learning every day I want to thank Danny van horen who is definitely the hardest working man and Beyond I really want to give a special thank you to all of the boys of dominion because they are what Dominion is all about the growth in the love of Torah the love of that out Community stands for to just go stronger and stronger and with that Hashem when we live our lives this way we will reach [Music]
