- How did you meet Shlomo?
- HaShem, with very clear hashgocha pratis, brought me to the house about an hour before Shabbos July 10,1970, a few days into the 10 day Teach-In. I had never heard of the House, or of Shlomo, had never experienced Shabbos, and walked in reluctantly. It was the greatest day of my life, for which I thank HaShem every day in my Shmonah Esrei. I had been hitchhiking, searching for what my purpose in life would be, and after hearing Shlomo teach on the Parsha, tell stories, and sing, and experiencing the genuine warmth and friendliness of the people around me, as I sat crammed in on the stairs, I said to myself, This is what I was looking for.

I also found amusing your story of Shlomo telling your mother to go cook her borscht. However, knowing Shlomo, he didn't say it in such a manner, but surely with such chen, that she took it as a compliment. I'm glad you are married and living in Monsey, a Chassidi… Continue
