Letter of Thanks
Question
Hello and blessings to the Rabbi,
I am a Haredi kollel fellow teaching at a yeshiva for younger students in Jerusalem.
I have gone through many upheavals in life, and nevertheless remained in the study hall, teaching Torah and writing
books in several areas.
I follow, to some extent, your method of learning and your amazing Talmud lectures, and I thank you for
the great light that has been opened up through you for Torah study in general and the Talmud in particular!
Without even referring to the vast expanses that you open up in all areas of Judaism, which I am not sufficiently
wise to understand in full, or even in part, I am speaking about Talmudic topics—about the "Bavas" of Nezikin and tractates from Nashim—
which you illuminate and explain in their depth with a clarity and order that simply do not exist in our circles [and perhaps not in other circles either].
Fortunate are you to have merited this.
And the Sages said: "A generation is not orphaned when Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah dwells within it," but unfortunately our generation is orphaned
in that it has not merited exposure to your deep, illuminating, and lucid Torah.
My whole hope and prayer is that perhaps there will be a study hall where all Torah learners will be able to benefit
from the light of your Torah, and among them I too, the younger one.
Answer
Wow.
Thank you very much. I am hardly worthy, but I am glad that my words were found useful.
With blessings,
