have you changed? You asked your readers if you have changed….I feel that your articles have become far more negative and judgemental of other people in the past year, whereas your early pieces were far more introspective and far more inspirational as a result. You seem to have gone through some very bitter personal experiences, which have unfortunately left their mark on your writing. Please Rivka, we love the introspective, positive side of you, we'd love to see that side of you coming back to your articles.

Judge everyone favorably I have to agree with my holy friend Louey. Few in this generation can really judge or give rebuke to another. What's real here may be the self realization that this process of teshuva and getting close to H' never ends. What is fake is when we think we've reached the 'finish line.' Rabeinu taught to judge everyone favorably… So sometimes we fall, the question is do cease to change or do we continue to grow. Sometimes you will encounter a real tzadik and it will defy your expectations

‘fakers’ united Do you know why a 'fake' acts the way they do, looking for attention? Maybe their parents never gave them the time of day when they went one time as a child to a holy site. Everyone tries, you can believe it. Maybe not at your level of effort. So how about some mercy or better yet share some the effort you've been gifted with our fellow 'fake' Jews. Or best yet just pray to HaShem to allow Reb Nachman to take every 'faker' under his care and not write such harsh things about G-d creations.

‘fake’ Jews?? I don't understand the tone of this article. How can a Jew with a pintele yid be fake? Is their soul fake? Does G-d really make 'fake' Jews or children He yearns to show kindness to? Maybe some people in this world at this moment have been given the tremendous FREE gift of being attached to Rebbe Nachman and see tremendous salvations because of this. Do this mean the ones who have YET to become attached to him are fake? Will they still be fake when HaShem helps them at a right time?
