I’m driving away from the greatest yeshiva on earth. I feel as though my flesh was torn while ripping myself from there. My soul wants to cry, but I am driving and the clouds are pouring down the tears for me.

... [F]or almost seven days, I learned chassidus with the bochurim, I went on walks with them, I played guitar with them. We sat to farbreng together. So what was so special here?
