Rabbi Israel Elia, head of the venerable Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue in London’s Maida Vale district, purchased all fourteen Torah Live presentations. “They are clearly a work of love,” said Rabbi Elia.

Torah Live has been graced with a beautiful letter of approbation, penned by Rabbi Dovid Nojowitz on behalf of Torah Umesorah. Click here to read in PDF form.

While in NY, I had the pleasure of meeting the following distinguished Torah leaders, all of whom  were highly impressed with the Torah Live material, thank God and I hope to work with them all in the future.

-Reb Gedaliah Weinberger (Chairman of the Board of Agudath Israel of America)

-Rabbi Mordechai Willig (Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva University)

-Rabbi Dovid Nojowitz (National Director of Torah U’Mesorah)

-Rabbi Bini Maryles (Associate Executive Director of Young Israel)

-Michael Rothschild (Executive Director of Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation)

-Rabbi Chaim Hagler and Rabbi Tavi Koslowe (Principal and Head of Kodesh respectively at Yeshivat Noam, New Jersey)

-Rabbi Eytan Feiner (Rav of The White Shul, NY)

-Rabbi Jonathan Knapp (Principal of Yavneh Academy, New Jersey)

-Rabbi Joseph Schwarz (Teacher at Ramaz, Manhattan)

Just got back from NY where I gave a workshop at the Torah U’Mesorah convention and wanted to share with you how far Torah Live is spreading: I was in Woodmere standing outside a 7-11 on Sunday morning, when a 10 year old kid comes over and asks if I am Dan Roth. Turns out his class had watched the Mezuzah DVD and learned all the halachos from it!

Thank you Michael and Karine Bloch for first suggesting the idea of putting our material on DVD over a year ago. You generously sponsored the project and the fruits of your kindness are spreading all over the world.

There’s an incredible write up about Torah Live in this weeks Mishpacha by Jonathan Rosenblum including 32,500 DVD’s delivered to every Mishpacha reader worldwide!

Thank you Yonason Perl, Rabbi Issamar Ginzberg, Eliyahu Rubinovich, Gavriel Horan, and Nomee Shaingarten who all had a direct hand in making it happen.

A special thank you to Conrad, Ruth, David and Karine Morris for their gracious support with Torah Live.

It is only through the wonderful people I am fortunate to be surrounded with and the graciousness of Hashem that Torah Live has merited the incredible success it has had to date.

Wishing you all a wonderful Yom Tov,
Dan Roth

Jonathan Rosenblum gave us an honorable mention in this week’s Mishpacha Magazine. He writes, “These [presentations] are not just crutches for a weaker generation, but effective tools for providing hertofore unattainable clarity through visual means.” A meshugana… and proud!

Rabbi Ginsbury reports that Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks was “blown away” by the Torah Live material. The Chief Rabbi invited Rabbi Roth to his office to show his staff what Torah Live has managed to accomplish and would like to work with Torah Live to create a video for Yom Kippur that would be sent to the nation. We are honored to be able to work with the Chief Rabbi. Hodu L’HaShem Ki Tov!
