I was grieved to receive the news of your accident in a cable from Rabbi B. Shemtov, and of the misfortune that has befallen you, which has claimed the life of your younger son.

May G‑d comfort you in your sorrow, and spare you any sorrow in the future.

I hope and pray that you and your wife, and the others injured in the accident, will have a speedy recovery.

With blessing,

M. Schneerson
