B.H. 21st of Kislev, 5723 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Brocho v’Sholom:

Thank you for your letter of Rosh Chodesh Kislev, reporting on your latest meeting.

I trust proper arrangements were made to observe the significant day of Yud-Tes Kislev. In this connection the enclosed message¹ is both timely and significant for our confused times. May it inspire everyone of your group.

With the approach of Chanukah, when we are commanded to light the Chanukah candles in growing numbers, may it bring an increased measure of light of the Torah and Mitzvoth, which is the true light, into the hearts and homes of all your members and in the community at large, through steadily expanding activities in this direction.

Wishing you and all the group much hatzlocho in your work and a happy and inspiring Chanukah,

With blessing

M. Schneerson
