It’s not easy, it’s not convenient, and it’s not always understood by the outside world, but it’s how we roll
Dear Yechiel and Eliyahu,
Some of the greatest men of all time wrote personal letters that were essentially messages to the public too, people like the Ramban, the Vilna Gaon, the Baal HaTanya, and Rav Yisrael Salanter. (For a great contemporary example, see “A Pesach Letter to My Son” by Rav Ahron Lopiansky.)
If you’re a gadol, it works, but if you’re not, it comes across as somewhere between presumptuousness and cheap literary gimmickry.
