Letter of the Rebbe to Eli W..thank you, but I found it distracting/annoying from Yiddish into English..clear translation would have been more appreciated. Thank you for your fine teaching, Rabbi! Eileen/Toronto
Thank you for your continuous efforts! The audio for most of it was not very listenable..but more to the point, translating from Yiddish into English was MOST DISTRACTING, and annoying. Something to consider? All the best, Eileen

I found it to be authentic and beautifully translated with great emphasis on the depth, emotionally transcending truth with each word from Rebbe of blessed memory.
well done

What a classic! One has to be amazed by the simultaneous strength and sensitivity with which the Rebbe addressed Wiesel's existential trauma. This is leadership on an altogether higher level It's this type of connection that we wish to engender on the coattails of 3 Tammuz. Thanks for the great translation.
