There is a young boy in Sydney, Australia, named Asher Tzvi Shalom. Like many boys at the tender age of three, Asher refused to wear his tzizis. One day he came home and told his parents that he had changed his mind. Why? He answered, “Because of my teacher, Morah Rochel. Today I wore tzizis and Morah Rochel was so proud of me. It makes her really happy and I will do it every day from now on.”
