Oorah Torah Mates Coordinator Talking To TLS

hi my name is I'm a tour mates coordinator for Ura and I'd like to tell you a little bit about the terminates program what is the term makes program it is a program in which we set up harusa shops that is study Partnerships between third knowledgeable people between vinay Torah and less knowledgeable people people that are not connected to hear the Skype people who have not had the privilege to learn Torah and it's like any other services shaft what is the the goal of this the goal of of the program is to raise up the level of this less connected person and we'll refer to him from now on as the the curious to raise up this level is to make him feel more connected uh basically two ways in which we um which we establish this conversion shot one way is of course in person we have people uh we have Kira haruses all over the tri-state area near Lakewood Toms River Freehold uh in the New York area Staten Island all over New Jersey Northern New Jersey and we'll find a harusa perhaps Lakewood to learn with somebody in Toms River in Brooklyn to learn somewhere in southern Ireland this is the uh for Russia in person the the kind of perusal shock that we have that's even more prevalent than the uh in-person service is of course the phone conversa we have a roosters when I say I mean here premises uh from all over the world um in the United States Vancouver uh actually Canada Vancouver uh Los Angeles um we have in Europe all over all over the world and in this way a fruit person a Ventura can sit in his own home in his own comfortable home and learn with this careful rusa in some far-flung country and we found it's a very very effective method of learning as I mentioned as I mentioned the goal of the harusa program is to raise the level of the kirkharusa in near the sky to make them connected to this fact there's two ways that we go about this one method is one way is of course to leave a tire learning Tire itself has a tremendous spell on people we all know the gemara about how he started off as a highway robber and he ended up as much to retire uh another very important opponent is the cashier that develops between the uh the front cabrussa and the Kira from Russia um the when when the Russia sees sees a a firm person caring caring for him not just in how he learns but also uh you know all his family matters and things like that it makes an amazing impression on that person and it really wants to uh learn more about the other side and you know be more connected to you describe one of the things people ask is where do we get our haruses from okay this there's I think basically three ways whereas everyone knows is primarily a institution which places Jewish children in Jewish schools that's what it was set up for with high men started over and that's what it was set up for once we send the children to the Jewish school the next step is we go over to the parents and we ask them maybe you want to learn also um the idea of it and I once heard of a guard I think it's really appropriate it says when when the toe talks about the midst of teaching Torah to your children it says in that same sentence as the debatable you yourself should learn tighter if one wants children to appreciate tire and learn Tyra then the best way to do that is by setting a good example so when the children are going to a Jewish school and learn entire life and now they see their parents learning Tyra that makes their experience all the more almost valuable additionally we tell the parents that they can do homework with their children uh in this way and it makes it it makes it much very appealing to them uh you know to learn and this way they can teach their children in this way we have the children going through schools with the parents learning an old house of the house learn Tyra and it's an amazing thing we see amazing results from this combination of the school and parents learning another way another way in which we get people here for Bruce's uh and this is where we get them from across the country is we advertise over the uh the web and we're getting tremendous amounts of people showing interest all across the country and we get a very large number of people uh the Third Way and this many many times is the most important way is we get recommendations and this is I think important for people to know um if you have a co-worker that you think may be interested in learning so you can contact us and tell us about it and we'll find another Russo or perhaps you go to a store and you see somebody there um and you start to try to have a conversation with that person uh and it seems to be interested you can refer to us we get many recommendations as such and uh it really proved to be very very important these uh these commercial shops now I want to come to a really why it's so important to sign up why is it so important to sign up for tyrannates people ask and the answer that I want to give to this is uh it's almost like almost a cliche people say over and over again but I'll tell you I just heard this from a uh from a cure for Russo last week he told me that America is like a uh his words were a a peaceful spiritual genocide we don't have people chasing us down we don't have um I've shown people trying to hurt us in this ghost we have a very benevolent government trying to help us and people uh be very friendly to us and that not in that way it's it's actually it's on undoing um the culture is so powerful and so overwhelming that people just get caught up with it there's no time you have to think about Rookie's virtuality so the only way the only way to reach the masses out there really is by having a program like this could be you have some cute professionals doing cured in specific communities or towns across the country but if you wanna you wanna help the masses across this country and there are millions of Jews they say it's close to Six Million Jews in this country and less than a million are fraud we want to reach those 5 million the only way possible to reach a good portion is through a program like this through a tournament program which people could learn with you know from their homes uh all over the telephone that's really the only way possible the only way to truly stem the tie of this of this terrible assimilation that we're dealing with is through such a program people sometimes want to know what what we learn with haruses uh well it really ranges the whole gamut of things like what anybody would learn we teach people how to read Hebrew we teach uh homishness dimara someone even though he's never known demara even though he can barely read if he's a very intellectual person a person who enjoys back and forth really enjoys namara I mean we have lawyers who are just just amazed by the Brilliance of shadow ataria so really it's a big gamut of things um a matter of fact in certain ways some of the philosophers have told us that it gives it gives them the opportunity to learn things that they never even had a chance to learn before so uh although of course it's a situation which we're helping others but it's a win-win situation what you give you get back and besides the sky but you can even learn certain things that you wouldn't even have a chance to learn otherwise in closing in closing I just wanted to to stress how important this this program is we know statistics say that over 50 percent of the families in America are assimilating are marrying out are into marrying and I'll tell you I make Nike calls and I can verify that it is at least 50 percent uh in the New York New Jersey area it's about that when you go outside of New Jersey area metropolitan area when I make calls I would say 80 of the families there's a there's a non-dual valve is into marriage so we're dealing with a very very very important situation we're dealing with adults um we honor emotions sap that one is time for this um it's it's Manish literally outside the fascist and it's something that is really within the capability of everyone to do you don't have to be a tremendous speaker um lecturer this is something if you're a ventira if you're knowledgeable in Torah if you're a warm person you're a caring person and you show somebody you care that's all that's necessary to be successful um again that together with chapter this Maya will bring in which Hashem all these people back to Yiddish kite and Mary
