The year's Yomim Tovim can teach us a lot about our true priorities.🏆 Sponsored by Shmuel Arnold in honor of the marriage of my daughter Naama Leia who has always been a student of yours. When she was young, I used what I learned from your shiurim on answering questions to answer her questions. When she was old enough, I gave her access to your shiurim so she could learn how to answer questions herself, and she has been a source of chizuk wherever she goes. She used your mehalach when she spent a summer at Brandeis and was confronted by an anti-religious professor. She used it to answer questions in high school, and in seminary. We owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude for all you have done for us, and we thank you for both your words of encouragement and your sense of humor. Most importantly, we thank you for your honesty, and permission to be imperfect in a world that has very little room for mistakes. Keep up the good work!~~~Sign up for R' Orlofsky's live online shiurim!🎙 http://rabbiorlofsky.com/live~~~"The Rabbi Orlofsky Show Theme"Composed and Performed by Lenny SolomonLearn more at https://rabbiorlofsky.com/music~~~Follow Rabbi Orlofsky around the web!📅 Event schedule: https://rabbiorlofsky.com/events✉️ Send feedback: https://rabbiorlofsky.com/contact🤗 Sponsorships: https://bit.ly/sponsor-orlofskyOther platforms:• https://torahanytime.com/#/speaker?l=256• https://facebook.com/rabbiorlofsky• https://twitter.com/RabbiOrlofsky• https://youtube.com/rabbiorlofsky
