Gay Marriage

I was at your talk march 21, and as usual I was moved beyond words and inspired by your spirit and story about your pesach with your dad in hospital on Seder night Do we expect respect for our way of living as Jews? Then why do we not respect others for their personal choices? I was upset by your disdain for gay marriage. I am at a loss as to how this will hurt you if 2 consenting adults make a commitment to each other. We are all made in G-D s image. All entitled to respect . Please hold back...

Shabbat Of Unity

Marvelous Encounter I am writing in response to Rebbetzin Jungreis`s beautiful June 8 column ("The Gift of Unity") in which she wrote of our chassidic family`s tribute in a Connecticut hotel to our beloved grandmother, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor. The Rebbetzin focused on the hashgachah pratis that led to her meeting our extended family as we honored our grandmother in the same hotel where the Rebbetzin`s Hineni organization was holding an event of its own. The pleasure was mutual...

Private Letter To The Rebbetzin

Been reading (and rereading) your books for years and get lots of inspiration from them. I decided to look you up on my husbands Internet phone. I looked at the pictures taken recently in yerushalayim;I don*t know if you realize it(this may be true only in yerushalyim) your dress,shatel,and shoes, to me, makes you look like a movie star. I*m not sure if this is the impression you are trying to give. You are such a deep, special, caring,understanding,person;given such dishmaya in spreading...

Moved By Your Speech This Past Friday Night

I was the lady who told you about my son who went to yeshiva in Berlin Germany for a year. What I neglected to mention was that while my son was learning there, he fought with city hall to put up a Chanukah menorah by Brandenberg Gate, where the evil one spouted his anti-Semitic diatribes. He also arranged a Chanukah parade, although he also had to fight city hall, and a number of cars with menorahs on top paraded through the streets where Jews could not walk safely during the war. To me it was...

Some Thoughts For Yom Hashoah 5771

This submission is an excerpt from Shades of Grey , a Yeshiva University student who was greatly moved by Rebbetzin`s address at YU`s recent Yom Hashoah commemoration. Rebbetzin Jungreis stood the entire time she spoke leaning lightly on a nearby table, her accented English pulling hard on my heartstrings as her frail yet strong presence filled center stage and radiated outward to every member of the audience. She is such an incredible woman. She told us about her story,...

The Hineni Story.....and There Are Thousands More!

Rebbetzin, I just wanted to share with you some nachas and pictures of my son Avrohom`s upsherin, and of my daughter Chaya Leah (she turns one tomorrow). Next Thursday, I`m scheduled to give my very first class ever (which is why I am up so late now preparing), on parshas Vayetzei to twenty students at Hebrew University. Also, next Thursday will mark the 17th anniversary of my very first attended Parsha shiur ever - parshas Vayetzei, Thursday night November 18th 1993, at Hineni. Thank...

World Gone Mad

Dear Rebbetzin Jungreis, For years, I have gotten so much out of your television broadcasts and now your Teachings and Viewpoints on the internet. While I agree that it`s a terrible idea to build the mosque so close to what was the World Trade Center, I am very worried about forbidding them to do so. It might make sense in this case, but I worry that at some point in the future, another group of citizens will use the same logic to decide a synagogue should not be expanded or a new one built...
