Amazing person. Rabbi Burnham does amazing work. He is dedicated to bringing back to Yiddishkeit our brothers & sisters. My wife loves his articles in the Bina magazine. He should have continued hatzlacha.
How about just not buying a device. Save money and aggrevation. Why do we complicate and now need a doctor a physiologist gevald!
His Binah articles are always the most interesting, well-written pieces. He is amazing!
