I had a thought of setting up this site after listening to Rabbi Shafier's series on the Fight. Here's the link - letterstoyossi.wordpress.com/ and the clip from him is on that site.

This is what I wrote there:

Rabbi Benzion Shafier of TheShmuz.com expresses his wish to send a message to an innocent young man before reaching maturity describing the feeling of battling temptations (Shmiras Einayim and Bris, pornography, etc.) and other such challenges.

I invite you to write your letter to my son Yossi in the comments below (Dear Yossi…). I’ll publish all those that I feel will be helpful to my son, and the greater public.

When I have a few letters written I’ll begin publishing them in the comments, and eventually they’ll be separate posts or pages on the site.

This is all anonymous so feel free to express your feelings openly. Thanks for sharing your struggles and I hope this proves to be an helpful exercise for all of you and we all gain from reading about each others experiences.

You can also post letters here on this thread and I'll take the liberty of posting them on that site. It's all anonymous.

Thanks,

Kivi

We were zocheh to have Rabbi Shafier himself post on the site!

I think this is an excellent idea and a tremendous concept. May Hashem grant you the success to get the message to every innocent bochur that they don’t have to go through the gehinom and life wracking pain of fighting this fight. Ashrecha V’ Tov L’ac. R’ Ben Tzion Shafier

He also wrote this to me personally:
Kivi,

This is a great idea!!!!

Halevi that you should collect some powerful letters and get it into the hands of young fellows who haven't tasted these bitter waters yet.

Much hatzlacha,

R' Shafier

PS Please keep sending your feedback

Thanks,
