The filter gabai matched me up almost a year ago with a Great guy from another neighborhood. Last night, he was in the area and we met for the 1st time face to face.
We have spoken by phone many many times. In fact the ONLY connection he has with GYE is his relationship with me. (He doesn't go on the website & doesn't even read the chizuk emails.)
He told me that he saw some amazing siyata dishmaya when we started working together! He has been looking for a new dira for years! Very shortly after we began, one of his acquaintances decided to move and offered his old home to my partner for a cheap price!
Also, he hasn't been able to learn Torah for more than 10 - 20 minutes at a time in the past. Now he can do it for an hour or two!!!!
Shepp nachas!!!!!
