The letters of our thoughts are the ideas present in our mind before they come to realization . . . Thoughts that are, yet not felt . . . The words of the subconscious . . . of the soul . . .

These are the LETTERS OF MY THOUGHTS.

On Volozhyn, Novardok and Chasidus

This Shabbos I stopped by the aufruf of a friend.

His grandfather - Reb Mendel Morosow - mentioned an interesting story.

While standing in the slaughterhouse for Swift's kosher meat line.

Standing next to him was a Novardoker and Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik - the Rav.

The Novardoker talmid asked the Rav why in the Volozhyn of old they didn't learn Musar. The Rav turned to him and asked,
"I have a greater question - why didn't they learn chasidus?"
