How daily [music] giving became a
reality.
>> And at that moment, I had the only
epiphany I ever had in my life. That no
matter [music] how much money I give to
tzedakah, I still did a mitzvah for $1.
I was like, "Wow, what a deal. A mitzvah
for a buck?" I was like, "How can I
guarantee that I'm giving tzedakah every
single day, no matter what, for a
dollar?" That was the idea that popped
into my head. I thought I had a
billion-dollar idea. I couldn't
concentrate in shul that day. I really
ran home and I started googling, "Is
anybody automating daily tzedakah
giving?" And I could not find it. So, I
called up my website guy, Showel, and I
asked [music] him what he thought of the
idea. He said, "Great idea." I said,
"Can you build me a website?" He said,
"Absolutely." This was May or June of of
[music] 2018. Then I had this idea cuz I
listen to a lot of Shuir Matters
anytime, and I really like Rabbi Paysach
Krohn. If you hear Rabbi Krohn talk,
he's constantly saying "Torah Anytime is
the greatest thing since sliced bread."
If I can get Rabbi Paysach Krohn to
speak about daily giving the way he
speaks about Torah Anytime, we're going
to blow this thing up. So, I got his
number, and I called him up, and my
heart was beating out of my chest. And
the voice of Torah [music] Anytime picks
up the phone. I'm like, "Oh my god."
I told him my idea, and he's like, "This
is a great idea." He's like, "No one's
doing it." I said, "Rabbi, no one's
doing it." So, he said, "Well, do you
have a rabbinical [music] council?" I
was like, "No." He's like, "Well, how
are people going to not know it's not
going to your kids' college fund?" I
said, "That's a great idea."
So, we formed a rabbinical council,
>> [music]
>> and we went live with the website
