This story was originally published last week, but has been updated with video
The Chill family from Monsey was on a flight to Los Angeles on Monday Chol HaMoed Pesach for a great-grandson’s pidyon haben.
Snow prevented take off for 3 hours causing passengers to wait on the plane by gate.
The Pilot approached Rabbi Chill and, after offering him a Kosher L’Pesach bottled water, invited him to learn daf yomi!
Mi K’Amcha Yisrael!

“Kosher L’Pesach bottled water”…. what’s next, bottled prepared salt water for the seder?? Oh wait a minute…..
Rav Michel Chill… No surprises there. Melamed Torah to Am Yisroel is in his DNA.
I know that pilot personally. A great man! So proud of him!
Learning b’chavrusa with anyone is a kiddish hashem.
Why is being a pilot any different then say a wallstreet trader or a shelf stocker or a cab driver or a kollel guy regarding a chavrusa shoft. Torah is torah regardless of his/ profession.
All bottled water is k for p. Stop with the gratuitous statements. Also…the pilot approached him to learn dad yomi? Assessment of the veracity of that statement requires more information.
Which airline?
I know this pilot personally. I had the Zchus to spend a few summers with him and his family. He is a true Ehrliche Yid. It’s amazing to see him come home from his job and go learn with his son. He is a true Midaktaik B’Mitzvos. Being that he’s a pilot he has so many Hasgacha Pratis stories to tell. (I belive Thelakewoodscoop.com may have posted some of his stories in the past). Just to mention 1 story that he shared with me was that he was scheduled to be 1 of the pilots on the morning of 911. He still has his documents showing his itinerary on one of the flights that morning before they changed his itinerary. May his Torah learning and Dikduk Hamitzvos continue to be a Zchus for him and his amazing family.
Daf airlines.
Fake news. The rabbi is a pilot and the pilot is really a chocolate bar.
I mean come on cant anyone tell I’m really a horse?
Actually I’m really a broom.
(Broom falls over)
Kiddush Litvish!!
