Thank you Rabbi Kulek for opening up about your background and outlook. Although I never met you in person, you certainly come across as intelligent, genuine and well thought out in your responses. I appreciate your positive approach you formulated despite the real challenges you have had to overcome and have clearer come out stronger through them.
thank you for sharing!!
Best 5th grade teacher ever! From Gemara strategy to football strategy 😄, he taught it all! We still remember and appreciate. Hatzlacha in everything.
Text? Or summary?
It’s worth your time
Yossi! I was younger and had no idea about your story growing up. Thank you for speaking about your life, it’s really inspiring and there are great takeaways you shared for everyone to glean.
Wow ty for sharing.
Rabbi Kulek is a very humble fellow – I remember him back in Cheder Lubavitch. He was a great all around fellow and someone to look up to. Not surprised he has accomplished much in life
fantastic
Me too, makes shidduchim very hard when people find out you have a non-Jewish father. Was told I’d need to settle, needless to say I’m still single because I don’t deserve settling. I’m just as much a Jew at someone with a Jewish father. So now I hide my background out of fear of being judged for something well out of my control. MAYBE THIS ARTICLE WILL OPEN PEOPLES CLOSED MINDS.
