of how wonderful and timely this competition has been in fighting the demons of the addictive world we live in today ; and not by the Jewish leaders who are well above the confusion but by the young and inexperienced who have simply allowed Hashem and His Torah to be their guiding light.

Yasher koach, Shneur Zalman Pewzner!

Beautiful idea! I hope you do more of these kind of things! Besides the interest it is generating, it produces good quality, meaningful, well written, material for us to study in the language most of us know best.

Winner's Essay is Unbelievable

Someone please get Aryeh Gurevitchh a publiishing deal.
His essay is mind blowing and I would Love if I could read, purchase and give a series of his essays on other practical applications as a gift to everyone I know.

He is a fabulous writer and I don’t think I’ve ever seen such succinct, concise and accurately defined terms found in Chassidus in English. The clarity of his piece is so appreciated and its no wonder he won first place. Keep it up!

(From a social worker and first and foremost lover of Chassidus). Kol Hakoved
