DAVID SCHWEKE "RONNIE GOT ME INTO RABBI NACHMAN"
WOW! What a call I got last week. David called me and said we have to talk about Ronnie. You may not know who I am but I must tell you what Ronnie meant to me and how he changed my life. He said Ronnie helped ME get a job when I was a teenager and that put my life in order and gave me structure. About 10 years later he ran into Ronnie again and Ronnie gave him a job at Ronnie's store on Worth St. in NYC. Much later after that Ronnie ran into David somewhere and this is where he changed his life. He gave him a DVD of Rav Nosson Maimon the son in law of Rabbi Rosenfeld A'H. David explained that he never touched the video for 10 years. Suddenly he decided "let me see what Ronnie Cohen gave me in this video". That video David exclaimed changed his life forever. He started learning Likutei Maharon and before you know it he was actually giving classes himself. David said he's gotten up to 50 people at a time learning Torah. Since then David opened a website www.excitingjudaism.com and started created events for Jews to come together to learn and socialize. Ronnie once told David why don't you tape your classes? David is a humble person and answered I'm not a Rabbi. I believe Ronnie convinced him though to tape his classes.
