Yesterday I recieved an e-mail from my good friend Sidney Chriqui of Em Habanim in California.
It gave me another chance to reflect on how many people influenced my life to this point. Sidney, a wise man a few decades my senior, is one of those special people that showed me how it is never too late to make a change and an improvement in your life. I will not share the details now on how he went up to read the Torah a quite a few years after his 13th birthday, but I have to say that it taught me a lesson on how much you can achieve if you set your mind to it, no matter what people may think possible. It is one of the experiences that inspired me to believe in people and pushed me to open this Beit Midrash. Thank you Sidney.
