WOW WOW WOW!! Your site is absolutely amazing and I can only imagine all the work and all the hours that went into it. Thank you so much for allowing me to help you publicize this wonderful new resource for the English-speaking public. You have done a tremendous mitzva with this!
A Simple Jew | A Simple Jew | 4⁄24⁄2008 | 11:13 a.m. ESTI am truly fascinated by your web site. It is very professionally put together. It shows that you have accumulated a vast amount of knowledge on the subject, and yet there is that personal touch, the respect you have for Reb Raphael and Reb Pinchas comes through, in that you present the pages so beautifully.
S. Cohen | 5⁄4⁄2008 | 7:37 p.m. ESTYasher koach on all that work. I hope you have much hatzlacha in teaching about these tzadikim through this site and thereby are mezakeh people to become closer to Hashem!
Dixie Yid | Dixie Yid | 5⁄9⁄2008 | 10:09 a.m. ESTYa'asher koach on the beautiful site! Hashem should help us fulfill what Rav Pinchas of Koritz would always say, “Petition Hashem every instant: ‘Lead me on the path of truth.’”
Rabbi Micha Golshevsky | A Fire Burns in Breslov | 5⁄9⁄2008 | 10:51 a.m. ESTMazel tov on your website! What terrific news. I look forward to perusing it.
Rabbi Amy Scheinerman | Scheinerman.net | 5⁄9⁄2008 | 3:13 p.m. ESTHatzlachah rabbah! Sounds like a wonderful project. Just one thing: why didn't you say “Two Tzaddikim”? “Tzaddiks” sounds odd to me.
Rabbi Dovid Sears | Breslov Center for Spirituality and Inner Growth | 5⁄9⁄2008 | 3:37 p.m. ESTThanks for your good wishes! I considered calling the web site “Two Tzaddikim,” but I found that “tzaddiks” has become an acceptable word in the English language. Since my primary purpose was to make the teachings accessible to English-speaking readers who didn't necessarily know Hebrew, I decided to use the English plural. I hope it doesn't grate on the ears of those who speak Hebrew.
Susan Steeble | TwoTzaddiks.org | 5⁄9⁄2008 | 3:44 p.m. ESTWow—what a fantastic job! You are giving your ancestors such nachas in shamayim, and we here on earth a true blessing with your work. Thank you so much for your generosity and sharing.
Jonathan | 5⁄9⁄2008 | 6:37 p.m. ESTYou really did a superb job. There is a lot of info here. When one says over the teaching of someone no longer alive, “their lips move in the grave” (Gemara Yevamos 96b). May the merits of these tzadikim be of benefit to you and your family.
A Talmid | Zchus Avos Yogen Aleinu | 5⁄12⁄2008 | 11:18 a.m. ESTI find the beautifully designed website very informative, well written, and comprehensive. It covers a lot of information on the two tzaddikim. I enjoyed reading it and look forward to getting back to other parts later.
Rabbi Zev Gopin | Chabad of Johns Hopkins and Central Baltimore | 5⁄15⁄2008 | 10:40 a.m. ESTThank you for your wonderful and worthy work.
David Kaetz | Making Connections | 5⁄17⁄2008 | 1:02 a.m. ESTGreat job! You should carry on. I think it serves to shed some more light on Rebbe R' Boruch from Tulchin, the grandson of Baal Shem Tov ha'K, as he probably was the closest Rebbe R' Pinchas came to establishing a “dynasty.”
Yosher Dovor | Yosher Dvar Emes | 5⁄18⁄2008 | 11:11 p.m. ESTI'm happy that you opened this site about Koretz and Bershad. Thanks for your work and enthusiasm! Hatzlocho!
Hillel | 5⁄19⁄2008 | 12:23 a.m. ESTThank you so much for the web site. My heart has been drawn to Rabbi Pinhas and Rabbi Rafael since I read about them in Martin Buber zal's work about three years ago. I have grown to cherish their teachings so much and hold them as a primary foundation to how I want to live Judaism. I think the web site is so wonderful. Thank you for doing such an important service. Shalom!
Dani | 6⁄13⁄2008 | 5:56 a.m. ESTI've reviewed your site several times. It is a true masterpiece. I'm sure it will bring powerful blessings for good into your life.
