Dear Gary. It’s Cantor Joseph Malovany. I have just read your review of the book by Joseph Berger on Elie. You write so very well and may I say that it touched me deeply. Each person had had a different relationship with Elie. Elie spoke often to me about those relationships even during his last days of his life. But you truly captured the spirit of the book and of course who Elie was. In the book I am writing now a large section about my close friendship with Elie will be told. It’s going to be a while until the writing of the book will be completed.
I was very please to read you essay. A very big Yishar Koach to you.
Wow, thank you for the fantastic piece. It sounds like a great book although it may be hard to read the less than favorable parts of it.
Why is it so hard to accept that even the greats are human, especially after they’re gone? Maybe we think we can learn more from them if we sweep their humanity under the rug and make them into God-like figures. In reality, it is precisely their humanity that makes their greatness so great.
