“The Yamim Noraim are an auspicious time for us to bring our outer conduct in line with our inner values”
Dear Rabbi Feldman,
The past couple of weeks, I perused the Mishpacha Inbox and found the letters warmly addressed to you. In full agreement with their sentiments, I decided to dig up the column under discussion. Now I’d like to add my own thoughts…
I will admit that I did not notice your column was missing, but it was no reflection of how much I appreciate it. Fourteen years ago, when we started subscribing to Mishpacha, your column was the one that made me say, “Hey, this is good stuff!” Your hashkafos (and I don’t mean which political party you align with, but rather your penetrating perspective on life) drew me in.
I also want you to know that it was your books, Tales Out of Shul and The Shul without a Clock, that made a deep impression upon an intellectually curious younger me in sixth grade. You helped me to question and search and ultimately find a lifestyle that resonated with me as emes.
Baruch Hashem, life takes its course, and I am now at a stage where I am lucky if I can get a glance at the Kichels. Reading an entire article is often beyond reach. So forgive me for not noticing. (I do recall, several years ago, your column did not appear for one week, and I feared the worst — but I was put at ease when it returned a week later.) Please, do keep writing with the knowledge that your ideas are refreshing and inspiring and appreciated by so many!
