Yasher koach to Rabbi Neil Fleischman on his d’var Torah concerning Yitro (“Flying High On Eagles’ Wings,” Sabbath Week, Jan. 17). I found his discussion of poetry centered around the imagery of Hashem as an eagle sheltering us beneath the divine wings to be inspiring and uplifting, if you will pardon the pun. I have found his periodic commentaries in your newspaper to be creative and original. He will often discuss pertinent topics and passages that are not usually noticed, addressed or deemed important in a sincere, but often humorous and interesting fashion.
