    I'm almost through the yud shevat farbreingen I have realy been enjoying it. 
    You caught my thorough attention when you commented that we have a few a few addicts in the audience    
    Thank you for your clarity and wisdom and desire to share Toirah in a vibrant and loving way. 
    In one of your shiurim on emunah on Spotify, you read Miriams letter and it really grabbed my core. 
    This Shabbos I thought of shmuel from monsey and rochel from lakewood grabbing their phones after Shabbis and it gave me the Koiach to leave it off from shkiah to a good hr after tzeis. My phone was so grateful it never had so much alone time.

    I just have to share with you that last night I was so upset and venting to my husband about our daughter who is engaged to a boy, and the level of modesty need elevation.

    (I saw myself calculate the seminary and ncsy summers expenses... besides the regular jewish school tuition).  I had spoken to her about being shomer negiah and the same feelings of resentment about planning a wedding that they want came up...  also a big wedding, costing a lot of money, and I was telling my husband to forget it.

    This is ridiculous. Why should we support this? I didn't reach out to her because I was so upset. Today I went walking and I love listening to your shiurim.. and I heard you tell the story about the passport lady and I felt such a hug from Hashem!!

    I see it through such different lenses.

    I hope I can embrace this new attitude.  I love your speeches, They are oxygen for my soul.

    This sentence made me cry...

    "Let's face it, what a mommy and a totty can do for a child... no therapist, no Rav, no Rosh Yeshiva, no psychiatrist, no psycholanalyst, no psychotherapist can do for your child"

    blame all you want, nobody can do for a child what a parent can do...

    This talk is truly outstanding.

    Perhaps even worthy to be one of those to merit to be recorded forever as per Malachi 3:15

    I feel it's relevant to me this lecture when my daughter feels hurt when talking to me because she has to share loyalty between me and her step father
