day. Education is all about relation-

for all time. Every generation has a
stake in the Torah. Every Jew has some-

Jewish people were supposed to be a
community of learners. At JAMD we
are that community of learners. JAMD
is a unique place and I feel it deeply.

people?" he says. "I'm convinced, if
we don't screw it up we will revolu-
tionize the industry."
