hard to believe comment number 2…. I'm sorry that you were hurt, lazer number two, yet I find it hard to believe that Rabbi Brody would push anyone away intentionally. The only time any of his readers will remember him giving a harsh tone is when the questioner himself is full of arrogance and aggression. Perhaps your questions were posed in such a way that were assumed to be an uncalled-for attack? I'm sure if you would re-direct your questions in a more open minded way, you would see that openness reflected back….

seemingly contradictory When I was in Uman last Rosh Hashono and I spent Rosh Hashono with Menachem Herman and R'Lazer Brody and I asked questions to R'Lazer Brody I felt anything but love and acceptance for who I was. I was told I need to go and work on my emunah and until then don't bother me with your questions. I decided I would go to Rav Shalom Arush where there I do admit I felt tremendous love and acceptance for who I was.

this is what we need!!!!!!! Dear R' Brody This article literally brought tears to my eyes!!!!! My husband and I both grew up in this style community where we both were 'born with the spoon in our mouth' however from a young age my husband was a mevakesh and found R' Arush's books and became a big chassid of R' Arush, his teachings and you, R' Brody. He started working with bochurim (like the kind this article is talking about) and being them mechazek with the love and encouragement that R' Arush teaches. He b"h has been very successful! Before we even knew about this event, my husband and I said countless times how this group of kids need R' Arush and R' Brody! This is exactly what they were missing!!!!!!!!!! May Hashem bless R' Arush and R' Brody that you have the strength to continue your great work for I believe that Moshiach will definitely come thru all the kiruv krovim that u are doing!!!!!!! As a side note- My husband and I recently startted learning the Garden of Emunah together and it has LITERALLY changed our lives!!!!!!!( I know it sounds cliche but its REAL!!!!!!!) We are happier, have better shalom bayis and have a better life (even though life is bumpy now but hashem always helps us!!!!!) Thank you so much !!!!!! May you and R' Arush be blessed with continued strength and success!!!! This was long overdue! NP
