Comment By: Yaakov Alter ben Shifra Tsharna
We thank Yossi for joining in mefarseming oseh mitzvah, and expressing his own experiences he's had with Rabbi Tabak. And not only does Rabbi Tabak help with books, but with whatever he can in helping our families. And whatever Rabbi Tabak does is b'sever panim yufos - and thus every act he does is worth 1000 times more. As the Gemara says, "a mefeisoi b'chumash". So it's much greater an act with b'sever panim yufos. Everyone should learn from Rabbi Tabak and help him to succeed in helping those people who are suffering under a difficult time. I also join in commending Rabbi Tabak in all that he does. And I extend my blessings to him - may he blessed with all good and all brochos. And we should all zehen in gichen our yeshia and the yeshia sheleima.

Lekovod Reb Yidul Shlit"a,
There are lots of thoughts that have been going thru my mind recently, and lots of them pertain to you. Over the last 5 months that I have been here in FT. Dix, I have been able to learn Torah much easier than the last jail, because of the Otzer Seforim that are avavilable to me. The Rabbi is learning Bihasmodo Rabo, and there are always piles of Seforim next to where he is learning. Many others at different times come in to learn and use the Otzer Seforim. Lots of times I look at the first blank page to see what the history of the Sefer was, and to think how it got here. Lots of the Seforim were left here B"H by previous inmates Shomrie Torah Umitzvots. However I noticed a very peculier thing. That every Sefer that was donated by someone from the outside only had one name. Nidvas Yehudah Ben Breindel Tabak. I have not seen a Sefer donated here by any other name but yours.
Recently however about 2 months ago, I mentioned to the Rabbi we needed more Seforim, and I told him which ones. And sure enough over the last 2 months the Seforim have been coming in. I would say almost every week between 5-10 each week. I didn't now where they came from. And now I Mamish look at every new Sefer that comes in, and I see again Nidvas Reb Yehudah ben Braindel But not only that. It is not even in your handwriting. It is in Amos handwriting. In other words you are a total Matan Beseser. You are Mamish a total "Noseh Beol Chavayro". Even more than that. You are one big Mitziyos of "Noseh Beol Chaveyro".
I have been getting for the last 40 months(starting in the last jail) every single week, between 2-3 times a week envelopes with Divrie Torah on the weeks Parsha, Maaseh Gedolim, the schmooz that the Kliezenberger Rebbe ZY"A gave at this Thursday night Chumash Shiur 30-40-50 years ago. Yahrziets of the week from Gedolie Yisroel. And there was a name of a Mosod with a Boro Park address on the envelope. And I was wondering how did these people know of me to send me something. I dont even know who they are. Every week!! And then I find out again from Amos, that it is you. And again I never knew it.
The bottom line is, there are people learning Torah, preparing Shiurim, and being able to teach others, because of a Heiligeh Yid with a Heiligeh Neshomo in Boro park who is willing to go all out for what someones needs are. You have no idea how proud YOU make me feel to be a Jew! You are a walking Kiddush Ha-shem. Even the non -frum Olum here knows that when we need something that has to do with Yiddishkiet , reading, a Kiddush Levono card, Sidurim, etc they all know the name of Yidul Tabak. It causes a lot of Achdus. It cause a great Kiddush Ha-shem by All the yidden here that they know what a Yid does for another.
May HKB"H reward you with Kol Mishalos Libcho. May you have Nachas from ALL your Yotzeh Chalutzecho Lsof Kol Hadoros. May HKB"H reward you with everything in the world. And Midah Kneged Midah, the same way that you worry that we should be enabled to learn Torah, may you and all your offspring Ad Sof Kol Hadoros be Tamidie Chachomim, Yirie Shmoayim, Marbitzie Torah, and may we be Zocheh that in our lifetime we all walk together to be Mekabel Pnay Zein Moshiach Tzidkaynu, Bimahyra bekorov Mamish.
I know when I will walk to be Mekabel Ponim Zien Moshiach I will be walking with the Seforim that I learned when it was "Btzar Lee" when I was being squeezed. And I am not the only one. There is a Baid Medrash full of Yidden here , with Rabbi Samet Shlit"a Broshum here who use your Seforim. And we will all walk with holding your Seforim Mekabel Ponim Zien Moshiach. Because when someone is a Yid in hard conditons and learns Torah when it is not easy, the places you can reach in Ruchniyus are very high. I saw from the Mahara"ls brother, that if people knew the Schar for Limud Hatorah when it is hard, when it is Bshas Hatzorah, people would look forward to the Tzoros just to be able to learn at such times. And the road we here at Ft. Dix had to walk on was very narrow, and the Schar will be every big. And a major part of those Seforim will have the name of Reb Yehudah Ben Briendel Tabak. Mosiach will look at it, Eliyahu Hanovee will look at it, HKB"H will know of it, and they will raise you high like it says in this weeks Parsha, "Veesoh Eschem Al Kanfay Neshorim". Your "Kanfie Neshorim" Which Unkolos Teitches "clouds" will be the bletlech of the Seforim you provided. They will know that YOU Yehudah ben Breindel Tabak are responsible for all this Limud Hatorah that went on here in these conditions.
You are a Machzik Torah. And like it says "Etz Chaim Hee Lamachazikim Buh..."
