A plea to you, our brother, to listen to our words and come home to Israel where you will be recognized for who you really are and not the man you have become. Through the ignorance of those who have taken advantage of you and surrounded you in a pretence of caring about you and your sons, they have only created for you a life filled with horrific turmoil.
We know that addiction is a physical, mental and spiritual disease - a disease that can be successfully treated with proper information and help. Here in Israel this is available to you and to your adult sons who also show signs of these terrible addictions. We, your brothers, will take you and your sons under our guard and direct them into a life that is meaningful, a life of Yetzer Hatov. Alcohol and drug addictions are a concern for all of us in our team when one of our brothers exhibits unhealthy behaviors in a public, we know we must come to his rescue.
Your current situation is demanding of all that you are and wanted to be, turning you to an unhealthy lifestyle. This we understand and forgive.
One of the most pressing issues we find plaguing Ashkenazic is alcoholism, in which these drinkers become addicted to the consumption of alcohol which then inhibits his senses and cause grave repercussions. The two worst things in your life, as we see it, is that you have no control over - "your Judaism and your alcoholism." According to the Jewish view, we feel that "alcohol is evil"; when consumed "alcohol gladdens the hearts of suffering men," but diminishes his ability to recognize fully his obligation to his family. In this, the power of alcohol, unlike Torah-learning, the physical excitement resulting from alcohol is artificial because it is physically inspired and, therefore it does not cause a real joy, this is why your sacrifices are rejected by those who persecute you, because they were not brought from a joy caused by the soul, but rather from a drunken excitement and Yetzer Harah.
We, your brothers, understand that when you pursue, in public, behaviors that bring suspicion and ridicule to yourself are due to your drinking habits and deep self-hatred and disappointment for who you have become. You consume more and more alcohol because in your mind and spirit you have acquired an appetite for it, but it no longer satiates that hurt inside, all it has accomplished for you is creating embarrassment and an avenue by which others will judge all Am Yisroel.
One observation of importance to us is the inappropriateness of a scholar demeaning himself by public exhibition of his vulnerabilities, brought on by his addictions. To use the Internet in the fashion as you have done to portray yourself as a professional has only served to allow others to
enable your weaknesses to become public fodder. The people who call themselves your friends and respond to your words written when your under an evil influence only mock you and urge you to say more words as one who has to much drink. These women show a lack of self-respect and intellect with words seeming of lewd intent. These women have done nothing more then dishonor your person and family name. They also entice you to write in the Internet because they too live dishonorable lives and use words that also show them to fight addictions! Together, all this web site gibberish will accomplish will be to bring you to an end, just what the German people want to see with a Jewish person. We see this web site only leaving an impression of a person once called a scholar and regarded with honor, who is now consumed by addictions and desperation to be recognized for what might have been.
We have grave concern for your adult sons, as through their father's behaviors, they too have turned to a dishonorable way of life. Your son's lives are surrounded by addictions that will bring them dishonor and tragedy, not what a good son of a Jewish father deserves. Your Jewish Zaidy expected more from you then what you have given to your sons. They too start to promote their addictions and unhealthy lifestyles through the Internet web site and exploit themselves through pictures as they have been exposed by you on your Internet web site. Overtime your two younger sons will also become addicted to everything that you have imposed on yourself and older sons, and because of your use of the Internet, this will remain forever, for all eternity, they have been exploited by their father. Unless you refrain from alcohol, refrain from sin and come to Israel with your sons, you will never rebuild your life and never find peace.
Our brother, you are important to our state as the plight of oppressed Jews the world over has long occupied a prominent position on Israel's agenda. From the darkest days of the Holocaust through today when Jews face economic or social persecution in various lands of oppression, especially Germany, Israel has stood in the forefront of Jewry's rescue of less fortunate Jews. It is our intention, our brother, to rescue you and your sons from the persecution you receive in the hidden agenda of those who call you friend, yet enable you to continue denying your addictions by pacifying you with words from their own addicted lives and hate of Jews. If these people had any cares of your needs and life as it exists today, they would never continue to lure you into such public posturing in making fools of you and your sons and the Jewish people for all the world to see, and a way that will never be erased in your life time.
Finally, in the area of Israel, we urge you as a Jewish father and man of education to seek refuge from this oppressive environment and people of Germany. It is essential that your sons lives be maintained in in a healthy, wholesome country where they will find their full potential through Zionism by living a Jewish life free from the disreputable international exploitation they have been subject to through you. Israel accordingly supports all efforts to offer a safe haven for it's Jewish people no matter their needs, and your needs are important to us,as are the needs of your four sons. We implore you to bring your sons to Israel and trust them to our care and direction as you know our guidance is their best future. We, your brothers, have agreed to take your sons into our possession if you agree to send them forward to us until you can control your demons and are ready to reach out for us to bring you to Israel. This is their birthright and a true gift you can give them.
Tefilah for our brother and his sons,
Shalom Sayarot Aron Silberstein,
