2 Shevat 5769 (i.e. 1/27/2009)

A Letter of Support

I have been brought the drafts of the Responsa "Ach  Tov L’Yisrael"- questions and answers on 4 parts of the Shulchan Aruch,  written by an expert, a loyal plant, like a jar of the manna, with all  the sweet Torah explanations, praiseworthy among the pious, like good  oil and of good reputation, giving clear reasons and interpretations of  Halacha, the genius Rabbi Efraim Kachlon shlit"a, who toils to give with  full faith the words of our Sages, early and later ones, new and old,  to conclude in the Halacha.  Praiseworthy is his mother and his power is  for the Torah.

And nothing else is needed to add but a blessing, may  he complete the book soon and his wellsprings be spread everywhere in  order to raise the Torah and glorify it, out of peacefulness and  tranquillity.  May he be blessed with all the good blessings, may he  succeed everywhere he goes, and his name and reputation shall grow like  the name of one of the greatest sages in the world, with praise and  glory.

Rav Ovadia Yosef

Chief Rabbi and President of the Council of Sages

I join the blessing of Rav Ovadia shlit”a, and may his  wellsprings open everywhere and he spread his Torah. 

Lots of success,  Rav Meir Mazuz
