so many of you being here over the shabas as well as so much of the activities of project Inspire my pleasure to introduce you RAB Yon atinsky thank you very much Jessi so this morning first of all uh what a great shabbaton what a great convention thank you yussi fredman and everybody else thank you I'm Samson everybody who made this happen all the ladies Etc mention anybody so as I'll probably forget today's uh program is De being dedicated by Mrs Adel Sarah hornik in memory of her uncle late Uncle zman Ben arand doid I'm sorry zman Ben arand doer who was nifter 12 years ago precisely at a project Inspire not at a convention but at the time of the convention at the time of the convention on giml Ador shavan Alia so this morning we have a number of presentations I'd like to call upon the first presentation special man a special individual you hear about daily giving daily giving is a wonderful organization that is partnered with project Inspire Inspire it's a uh program that really allows you to uh give s ducka on a regular basis and it's a pleasure to have him here for chabas getting to know him Dr Jonathan donut like to call upon him to say a few words thank you very much Dr Jonathan donut hi everyone so in case in case you don't know what daily giving is I just really very briefly tell you what it is we automated a platform just five years ago to try to get Jews all over the world to give $1 of sadaka together every single day and every day we take take the entire amount of money and we give it to an incredible Jewish nonprofit all around the world including project Inspire and it's a diversified portfolio of Charities we give to we give to Poverty organizations and cancer organizations and special needs and Substance Abuse and Mental Health and Torah and kiru and every day you get an email telling you where the money goes and you see it grow as more people join and more people join we have now over 18,000 Jews from 43 countries giving a dollar together every day that's over $6.6 million a year and daily giving doesn't take a penny so I just saw a gentleman uh Mr F over shabas he came up to me and he said you know I you I saw you the project expire shop Aton a couple years ago and you told me about this and I was like oh because a cute idea and you said you know if you don't sign up right now you're not going to do it so I would urge you all take out your phones right now I'm telling you it'll be the best decision you ever make you'll see me in future project Inspire conventions if they keep inviting me back and you'll come back one day and you'll tell me it was the best decision you ever made because for a dollar a day you get a Mitzvah every single day and the greatest thing is the Aus that we're doing we have Jews of all different types all over the world giving together and it's having a huge huge impact and um I I just tell a quick story really recently one of the organizations we give to is called B bat Mel in Israel it's a there's safe houses for women who have to unfortunately run from their husbands and when they found out they saw the daily the the director showed one of the women the emails showing that there were 18,000 Jews giving a dollar of sedu every day she didn't care about the money but just knowing that there were 18,000 Jews that knew about them that knew about their struggle impacted them so greatly and One More Story um I uh I saw someone signed up for $2 a day and I actually knew them she was 36 years old and single and uh I and she signed up for $2 a day and I called her and thanked her I said why did you sign up for $2 a day she said one for me one for my future husband and she was engaged six months later and I I told that story to Beno katco and he from shabbat.com and he and he told it publicly and then he got a text from a woman in Chicago who said my daughter is 29 she's been dating since she's 21 and I heard that story and I signed up for $2 a day one for her one for your future husband and she she that was on May 10th and she met her husband on May 21st and in the last year eight people have got engaged from these stories from Sig for that so just you know another thing but I just want to say one more thing about product Inspire I uh I went on their men's ship a year and a half ago and I highly recommend going on their men's my wife's gone to the women ships they're
