Question
I just wanted to draw your attention to the fact that although it may sometimes seem that you complain that your words are not being heard, and wonder what the point is of writing this post or that one, in recent days the site has passed 7,000,000 views. That is a crazy and extremely impressive figure. Let these words be a source of encouragement and hope that the Jewish people are not bereft, and that the land is filling with knowledge. More power to you!
Answer
More power to you too, and thank you for the encouragement. I have no idea what these figures mean comparatively, or how many actual people they represent (as opposed to visits).
Discussion on Answer
Thank you very much. I’m glad that my words are helpful wherever they may be. May your hands be strengthened to continue thinking autonomously.
The blog here is like fresh water for a weary soul.
For me, it is a place for self-education in the habit of thinking. As distinct from the popular discourse, and even the so-called “intellectual” discourse in the public sphere.

“Greetings to you, Rabbi Michael Abraham, who are in Lod and whose reach is spread across the whole world”..
I am an avrekh in London (officially a Satmar Hasid). I can’t emphasize enough how much of my thinking is inspired and influenced by your posts and articles—on Torah, politics, philosophy, and general thought. I have learned a great deal from your site, and almost every post gets printed out by me and analyzed in depth.
Not to mention the very legitimacy and freedom to think for myself, which is definitely a direct influence of your strong stance.
But it affects not only me; I know many other people who draw a lot of inspiration from what you write. And my students and friends, of course, gain a great deal from the fact that I am under your influence. That creates a far-reaching ripple effect on the Jewish people as a whole.
Keep it up, and we’ll keep learning from you!
