“I am shocked and appalled at the inaccurate description of chassidim in the Court Secrets serial”
I greatly appreciated Rabbi Kerzner’s fascinating article about the shaar hakollel. To be honest, it brought me tremendous chizuk. My family and I have often struggled to find our place within the community, always carrying a certain self-awareness — even self-consciousness — about not fully fitting in.
Rabbi Kerzner’s words, though, offered us a new perspective. He reminded us that perhaps we are not lost or out of place; perhaps we are simply embracing the shaar hakollel — joining those who have the unique ability to glean from the avodah of many different kehillos, shuls, and traditions.
Thank you so much for this insight. Your words truly lifted our spirits.

I really enjoyed reading the wonderful article about Rabbi Marcus Lehmann. I am a seventh grade ELA teacher in Joan Dachs Bais Yaakov in Chicago and I read The Family Y Aguilar with my class as part of our literature curriculum. It is so wonderful to have such high-quality literature that doesn’t compromise on Jewish values.
