[Music] it's like a big family we grew up in the show torah center that's the future everybody's happy to come when i walk into the school i feel like i'm at home it feels like the show puts another piece you know in the puzzle of our world it's a very special place to be family [Music] our fathers and our grandfathers who came to this country close to 50 years ago came with one mission to preserve the mean hygiene the traditions late 1980s we purchased this building over here their vision was to make this place for all their kids and their grandkids to be to have a community remember vividly when they were building this synagogue my father brought me to show me what was going on how they were building and i was just shocked how big everything looked we built the jewel we built the community we built everybody but now we're focusing on the future and the torah center is a very big you know integral part of that growth at the core of every shul is a torah center so we started last year we started learning at night here in the show and in the mornings i went to zero to 60 in like now two seconds every single morning we have men coming to the show before tefillah and after tifila we went from starting once a week twice a week and then all of a sudden you know we came back from the summers you know when we said guys that's it we're starting legit we're starting 6 15 every morning we learn here every monday and thursday nights the goal is not to create people that want to go to a class it's to create people that love to learn and they can open up a gemara on their own waking up is not difficult anymore i'm excited to get up i'm excited to get here it's great to see guys really that never learned they're here morning and nights i probably haven't opened the game up prior to that in i don't know 10 years or so you have a lot of guys that are going to work you know from here they come early in the morning to learn they come back after work they learn again the way that people really grow is you have to take care of their needs so two or three young young men want to learn with a rabbi we want to hire that rabbi whatever the kahal wanted we were basically offering them it's not just about learning with somebody it's about building them up as a as a person the whole person and then the whole family grows the torah center is not just for the men we've expanded it to include the ladies and the children a couple of years ago you know i started realizing as a parent you know my kids got to come to school every week in this school we have over 500 kids coming boys and girls all ages we get together we pray we sing pismonim we have parasha we have stories candy and prizes we have a very very talented team the numbers are showing it because the kids are coming the kids are happy daddy we're going to school tomorrow daddy i want to go to school two times tomorrow they're as excited as could be just to get to school my kids they come to school they like to they they want to go to programs want to go to robert sardar's class i love it because my kids come with me to show and we're all under the same roof there's no better joy from a child to see them happy in a place where you know it's a safe haven for them they drag their parents out of their house on a tuesday night to come take them to the pismonium class a couple months ago over the course of the summer the roy reached out to me and he said we want to try and get a ladies program the way these programs is incredible you have community speakers like jackie viton violet shkori this is evelyn miller rabbis that are coming to the show guest speakers that are coming to the show the women really are inspired and they're they really are craving these types of classes from 6 a.m till 11 30 at night there's something going on so there's no better feeling than giving to a tenant center there's nothing more that you can ask for it's better than making all the money in the world i am proud to see how my former students who are now at the helm of the synagogue are doing a great job at the torah center even better than i ever expected i'm happy to hear that the new committee has a new project called the torah center i want to wish him a brook and razaltov to the slc executive committee and to the entire kahal for the unbelievable expansion of the torah center we invite everybody to come we have programs for everybody i really highly recommend that a person who hasn't seen it yet to come to one of our shiodim and just taste it and see the atmosphere see the people how happy they are we have a young committee we have a bright future we have a lot going on we don't sleep we're always looking to find the next best thing to offer the best part of this is that you're doing from the ground up when you can get involved in a project from the very beginning and you're part of those stones you're building block after block you see it materializing it's a success it's something that you're so proud of hashem is on our side we see it every single day with every decision that we make and i encourage everybody in the atari community to come you'll love it and we look forward to seeing you [Music] you
