It was
the right price because I was not charged
anything.

It’s
really a nice experience. People
really look forward to  shabbat.

about."

The Torah
enhances who a person is.
We try to encourage people in keeping up strong
ties with their families... stay in touch
with their talents, their friends... We don't
want them to become something else. We just
want them to enhance who they are... |
