“Dr. Geft, an amazing individual whose talent and brilliance is perfectly balanced with his tzidkus and sterling middos”
I want to express hakarat hatov for all of these years of Mishpacha’s meaningful, life-changing articles, and to communicate that Rabbi Yonah Sklare’s article about Hashem’s loving essence spoke straight to me. It was that elusive answer to this sugya I’ve had playing around in my head for years, that “avodah zarah way” of looking at Hashem.
I feel like I am starving specifically for your articles from daas Torah on how to make sense of this time — I assume everyone is — and Rabbi Sklare’s article was heavy artillery for heavy questions. For years, it has been such a struggle for me to relate to Hashem, and I feel like my relationship was pretty much how he described that of many talmidim: paying off a punishing figure. His article about Hashem as the Source of love is a fundamental teaching that I felt was lacking. I can’t describe to you how I mamash feel this is revolutionary for me. I really feel like I was starving for such an article.
So thank you so much for putting hardcore Torah and hashkafah that is able to do battle with the terrible events we are dealing with in the magazine.
On that note, additionally, the articles about Rav Moshe Shapira ztz”l were also so illuminating for me, and have given me a direction for more soul-quenching Torah. (For example, when Yonoson Rosenblum quoted Rav Shapira’s explanation about “she’asani kirtzono,” it was gevaldig.)
