Last night, I had the privilege of speaking in person with the Rosh Yeshiva, Shlita, for half an hour about GYE matters.  In discussing the forum, I used one of the forum members, a dear friend, as an example of someone for whom the forum has been his lifeline.  Furthermore, in a letter that I sent to the Rosh Yeshiva this morning, I sent a copy of this person's testimonial.  I invited this person to send me an e-mail, which I would pass on to the Rosh Yeshiva.

He responded:

Kedusha I am blown away!  I am so overcome with emotion!  Wow!  Maybe this means it was all Kedai; all the Yeridos and Aliyos.

I would love to write a letter to HaRav Feldman.

To which I responded:

I can speak for myself: It was all Kedai, my dear friend.  

All the pain.  All the tears.  Having to shake my Rav's hand with a blush on my face.  Having to face my wife and children in the morning, with a painful secret that was weighing down on me.  Attending my child's Siddur play while ridden with guilt.  All of this was clearly meant to be, so that I can now help others in this position, b'Ezras Hashem.  And, my newly developed relationship with the Rosh Yeshiva - that's a wonderful fringe benefit, which I'm very grateful for.  Not to mention my precious friends from the forum.
