As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk. I wrote it in response to his attacks on me and his suggestion that I suffer from “generational trauma.” It has been the most viral piece I have ever written and I continue to be moved by the positive feedback.
Thanks and Happy Pesach!

I get that preachers use source material w/o credit (and I understand and fully expect that). But I don't expect the NYT to present sermons as original essays w/o source credit.
All we writers ask for is that our ideas and words get some level of credit.
