About the author

 Rabbi Earl Avraham David is the grandson of the late Strettyner Rebbi, Rabbi Solomon Langner, z’tl, of Toronto, Canada. Earl was privileged to see his grandfather always studying Torah and imbued him with the fire of Torah. Earl’s Hebrew name is Avrohom Yehuda Tzvi Shmaryahu. He is also named after Yehuda Tzvi who was a great Chasidic master who lived in the early 19th century. He was known as a miracle maker. Earl’s four Hebrew names add up to 935. Another term with the same Gematria is נהר פרת, Nehar Pras, the River Euphrates , which came out of the Garden of Eden. Perhaps Earl’s knowledge of  Torah emanates from the Garden of Eden. Another phrase of 935 is מרדכי אסתר, Mordechai Esther. It was these two people who saved the Jews of their time from the evil plot of Haman. Earl has been writing weekly (Torah) Bible commentaries for past 7 years and prays to G-d so that he will always be able to continue to write to teach the nations of the world the wisdom of G-d.
