Thank you for inspiring me, for creating this fantastic program, but most of all for the constant encouragement. I don’t think you realize what this program has done for the global Jewish community.

I enjoyed the exposure to a part of Shulchan Aruch that I normally would not have been exposed to. It brought into reality many parts of Halacha I was familiar with, giving an understanding of why Halacha is the way it is.
