0:55But to other people, it gives you the ability to see things from a different perspective. So, the reason why I mention all of this about Torah Anytime is because that Beit Gabriel shul is not a normal shul. Not a normal shul. Why is it not a normal shul? Baruch Hashem, it's big. There are many big places. It has a lot of people. Baruch Hashem, there are many places that have a lot of people. But what I saw there that was very, very special is that everyone is involved. Everyone is connected in some way or another, some more, some less, but overall, everyone has respect for the Torah when they're reading it. You don't often hear many people speaking disrespectfully, as you might in other places. Even if someone begins to talk, when you tell them to be quiet, they comply and do not answer back. And when you have that kind of respect for the Torah, it reflects a deep appreciation and reverence for the values and teachings it embodies. It has to come from somewhere. So then you start looking at who the leaders are. You look at the rabbis over there. Rabbis, each one is better than the other. They tell everybody the truth. This is what it is. This is what Hashem said. Deal with it. No, listen, it's not relevant to now. No, no, no. This is what Hashem said.
2:08This is what Hashem said, that's it. You guys have to wake up. If you haven't woken up yet, it's time to wake up. So now, you see the congregation is the result of the rabbis. But then you see something even more that I learned about it, is that two major Jewish organizations, both TorahAnytime and Chazaq, both came out of that shul. The members of the shul, Baalei Teshuva, started the actual organization. Actually, those involved with Chazak were religious from birth, I believe. But they started this major organization, Chazak, which is a significant organization for shiurim, for all types of things, from that shul. Torah Anytime, the two brothers, Baalei Teshuva, Beit Gavriel, they grew up there, they helped build the place, and now they have... I think it's the number one Torah website out there. If it's not number one, it's close to it at least. So you see that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You see that when the tree is good, the fruits are going to be good. But if the tree is rotten, you're going to have rotten fruits.
