"Kedusha", who arranged for us the Haskama from Rav Feldman over here, posted on the forum:
Last night, I had the privilege of speaking in person with the Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Feldman Shlita, for half an hour about GYE matters. In discussing the forum, I used one of the forum members, a dear friend, as an example of someone for whom the forum has been his lifeline. Furthermore, in a letter that I sent to the Rosh Yeshiva this morning, I sent a copy of this person's testimonial. Later, I told this person about all this and he responded:
"Kedusha, I am blown away! I am so overcome with emotion! Wow! Maybe this means it was all Kedai; all the Yeridos and Aliyos."
To which I responded:
"If I can speak for myself: It was all Kedai, my dear friend.
All the pain. All the tears. Having to shake my Rav's hand with a blush on my face, thinking "if only he knew". Having to face my wife and children in the morning, with a painful secret weighing down on me. Attending my child's Siddur play while ridden with guilt. All of this was clearly meant to be, so that I can get closer to Hashem in the process of recovery, and help others in this position as well, b'Ezras Hashem. And, my newly developed relationship with the Rosh Yeshiva - that's a wonderful fringe benefit, which I'm very grateful for. Not to mention my precious friends from the forum."
