Very inspiring Thank you for these encouraging words. I had to search and dig for "Truth" which took many years. The first time I went to Chabad of Alabama and heard the davening I knew I had found what I had searched for many years.

Bless the Rebbe and Chabad for being there for me.

Thank you rabbi Blech. I live in a very assimilated area. The insight you have provided helps me to more fully understand the Rebbes view toward "not yet religious jews". It helps me to view my fellow jews properly which will hopefully make my own modest efforts to influence those I come in contact with more successful.
Your story about the baal teshuva in switz. was amazing and very encouraging.

This is so inspiring! Thank you so much, Rabbi Blech for this incredible story of being a chasid in camouflage. I have had thoughts like that myself and your story gives me so much encouragement. So good to see you again! Reply
