About The Links - Great Men Who Were Once Illiterate

I often link different Torah articles in Hebrew. I know that many readers of the blog would love to understand what is written but because of the lacuna in their education or other reasons they are unable to do so.

So I apologize.

If someone wants to become fluent and to be able to read any sefer on any topic there IS a way:-).

To learn a lot.

Rav Moshe Feinstein was actually born completely illiterate. So was the Chofetz Chaim and the Vilna Gaon and the Rambam. But they overcame their illiteracy and reached the greatest heights:-)!

So can we all BS"D if we just believe in ourselves and have a firm immutable resolve to achieve spiritual heights. The greatest level of dveykus to Hashem is acquired through talmud Torah so if one has such strivings he must learn.   

If one wants to learn with the "Ba'al Hamevakesh" [i.e. me] himself that is also an option. It is an opportunity to explore vistas of Torah knowledge that one might until now not have traversed.
