RONNIE WRITES ABOUT HIS PIOUS LIFE IN JERUSALEM circa 1984

Dear Avraham David Ben Shalom, (BOBBIE ROSENBERG)
"May Hashem bless you to be inscribed and sealed in the book of life." How are you ? Thanks for the card. It was a great uplift to hear from you once again. Its so very hard to live here in the holy land alone. Three things a person must suffer for. Eretz Yisrael, Torah, and Olam Haba. The other day in my H.B.D. I cried to Hashem for the loneliness. For the missing of my family, my parents,my brothers and sister and my daughter. Oye. They should live and be well. Yes it is all very worth it still to be here and serve Hashem in the holiness. But so many thoughts enter my mind of the life I once had, of my ex wife, my ex home, my ex business, my past acquaintances in America, Bklyn,NY,the street, that place etc. And yet I am thankful for all I have here Baruch Hashem. "Elul" rolled in with very much yearning to serve and get much closer to Hashem, the desire to learn more, pray more.
Every morning I arrive at 3:30 AM and purify my soul in the ritual baths of the mikvah, then to attend the Bet Keneset for the deep prayers of repentance Selichot, returning home for breakfast. At 8:00 once again I've begun Ulpan (Bet) I've taken this Bet a year ago. But never retained all I learnt.......To be continued
