    ABOUT THIS EPISODE To participate please click⁠ here⁠: I am embarrassed (but proud). By far, one of the most humbling things a person can do is ask another for money. While I definitely feel that way, I am also proud to embarrass myself (once a year:) for the cause of teaching and building Torah. Our makom Torah, YTE in Houston, is an elementary school full of love, an understanding of children, and a commitment to Torah. These videos speak for themselves and humbly ask that you join our efforts in any way you feel comfortable.
