[Music] There was a story I heard an amazing story of a photographer in Lakewood, New Jersey. His name is Simhka Wyman. Simkha wanted to take a picture of Rebel Yash of learning and capture the light and the happiness on his face when he's learning Torah. About 30 years ago, I was learning in yeshiva and Isisel and at that time I always loved I had a passion for photography. I was very passion for photography. I was very close to Revelash's grandson and Rabasha's grandson told me his grandfather gets up 4:00 in the morning and I could able to get a picture video of his grandfather learning and no one's around. There's no one there. 3:30 in the morning, gets up, goes to the window of the apartment of where Yashov was. And yes, 4:00 in the morning, Yashov comes in and he opens up the Gomorrah and he starts to learn and he starts to sing [Music]
