What a beautiful story. I love that he leaves the corners of the field even though he doesn’t have to. It is still a wonderful Mitzvah and he is showing them Torah that they would have never seen if he did not live in Thailand. Baruch HaShem.

Thank you. I found this very inspiring.

Maybe the next part of your journey will be taking a Jewish wife? Just a thought.

I on the other hand was raised in a Sephardic and Achkanazi community and thought there was nothing else. How fortunate we both are. Shevuat Tov. Reply

Zevulun in Thailand Awesome video! I should make my next trip to Thailand to visit this righteous rice farmer. The good news is I know i can get kosher food even in faraway lands, and be inspired by the simplicity and universality of Chassidus. Reply
