From Learning Quran to Teaching Torah | The Story of R' Yaakov Sadigh

[@LisaReady-j8o]

As one of his current secular teachers, I can without a doubt say that never have I in my over 30 years of teaching been so inspired as well as given ample latitude to teach- to greet each work day with more passion and desire to be my absolute best. Our work place is sacred ground, not for the focus of the many students we have in attendance but for each individual. Thank you, Rabbi Sadigh!

Rabbi Sadigh is the best! Boca is lucky to have him. Rabbi Sadigh speaks from the heart through the heart. Ezra as a school really reached far beyond it's own students, but trickled to the wider community. ❤

He really is the best!

To KNOW Rabbi Sadigh is to admire, respect and believe in him. His success is due to believing that change is possible. It’s a pleasure to have had him as my sons Rebbe and now to see and respect the impact he has and continues to have on educators, parents and students.

I can attest to how remarkable Rabbi Sadigh is as a teacher , mentor and person . I met him when he taught my son in YCQ He had 23 boys from one neighborhood and within a few weeks he had them in his pocket because he could relate to them so well. Being a big sports fan helped I have followed his growth and career I’m honored to call myself a friend

I met Rabbi Sadigh in 1989. We were counselors in camp simcha Far Rockaway aka Hartman Y. Very nice person , curious about yiddishkeit. Met him in Great neck 5 yrs later giving shiurim. Met him in ycq as principal.

[@MeaningfulPeople]

[@nechihirsch5528]

What an amazing principal.

[@cslurzberg]

Loved this!

[@layacohen]

wonderful Mechanech!!

[@RabbiKolakowski]

Rabbi Sadigh was my first rebbi in Yeshivah at Ezra Academy. I still remember his shiur whenever I learn masechta Sukkah. More my own jokes that he loved, especially when I translated אינו סוכה as "it ain't no Sukkah" 😂 lol

[@15charmgirl]

Amazing episode!

[@screamtoasigh9984]

It's interesting that he has no accent, Gad Saad (also Mizrachi) left Lebanon around a similar age (at 9) and still has a slight Arabic accent (you might not hear that it's an Arabic accent but he speaks in a way that sounds accented and (imho a great thing 😏) lacks the Canuck "eh" in his speech.

25 years ago I interviewed 3rd generation Jews all over the world about their identity. I happen to interview a Canadian man and it turned out that his family on his mother's side were from Iran. He told me how the grandfather was imprisoned while they were preparing to flee, so the mother made the decision to leave alone with her children. They made it out through Irak and it took them a year to make it to Israel where another year later, the grandfather was able to join. And while the grandparents remained in Israel, the daughter went later to study abroad where she fell in love and ended up in Canada.

Gentlemen, please take the camera off of autofocus and try to balance the light so that we can get to see the face of the person being interviewed. The camera focused on the light outside, which put the face inside the window into shadow. That's why you two interviewers are easy to see - the light is on your faces, not coming up from behind.

Good episode, but the ads are becoming too long and frequent. They're also not relevant half the time to those outside the US.

[@BennyPowers]

Jews in America should be like his parents and not like those that needed to cross deserts to get out... America is no different
