Dear Yanky, I read your recent article entitled “Ad Mosai? How Long Must I Be in the System?” with great interest. First of all, I want to compliment you on your writing. You say you never had a secular education, yet your writing is so clear and lucid, straight forward and thought out. In addition, while writing about something that is bothering you, you sound so positive and good natured. I commend you for that.
