Dear Rabbi Mintz,

I hereby give you this letter, upon my departing the Federal Correction Facility at Fort Dix, New Jersey.

I cannot say nor elaborate in these few lines what my coming to know you means to me. Especially our nightly sessions of studying the famous works of "Duty of the Hearts".

I cannot say nor elaborate on your profound impact on the Jewish community here at Fort Dix. I was watching you in amazement, when in your weekly discourses and lectures, how you were able to relate to each and every inmate from such diverse backgrounds to find the proper approach to each individual.

May Hashem be with you, in all your future endeavors. One thing is for certain, just as a prophet is not allowed to withhold his prophecy, so you Rabbi Mintz are obliged to continue enlightening Jewish children for many years to come with G-D's help.

Your dear friend,

Eli
