The Chafetz Chaim's Letter

6 years ago

Rabbi Yaron Reuven shares a letter written by the Chafetz Chaim, a renowned Torah scholar, about 15 years before the Holocaust. The letter expresses concern about the state of Jewish society, particularly the widespread immodesty among women. The Chafetz Chaim argues that this immodesty leads to rampant sexual sin, causing a spiritual disconnect between Jews and HaShem. He directly links the rising immodesty to the increasing spiritual darkness and suffering in the Jewish community. He stresses that HaShem does not answer prayers because of this spiritual disconnect. Rabbi Reuven emphasizes the responsibility of individuals to rectify this situation by upholding modesty and protecting their own purity, as well as guarding the modesty of their families and communities. He highlights the importance of being conscious of how our actions affect others, emphasizing that everyone is responsible for each other. The Chafetz Chaim's letter serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of modesty and its profound impact on our spiritual well-being.

Born in Netanya, Israel, Rabbi Yaron Reuven began his American Dream as a little boy, when his family immigrated to the United States. He went from a newspaper boy at the age of 10, to a well-known self-made Wall Street multimillionaire by the age of 23. During his time in Wall Street, he owned his own private brokerage firm, a hedge fund, and an international insurance agency. He was featured on CNBC, Bloomberg and Chinese NDTV due to his success in the financial industry. At age 26 he faced a 7-year battle for his life when a simple surgery went wrong. From that moment his life would never be the same. This moment marked the start of a series of miraculous events and an exciting pursuit of truth, ultimately resulting in Rabbi Reuven renouncing his lofty position and success in Wall Street, after 16 years, to become a full-time KIRUV rabbi.
