By the Grace of G-d 18th of Kislev, 5724 Brooklyn, N. Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I was pleased to receive regards from you through Rabbi Shmuel Pesach Bogomilsky and your Tzedoko is also acknowledged with the receipt enclosed herewith.

Above all, I was pleased to read that your daughter Miriam gave birth to a boy. No doubt the Bris took place at the proper time in an auspicious hour, and may G-d grant that his parents should bring him up to a life of Torah, Chuppah and good deeds, and that you and your wife should have true Yiddish Nachas from all your children and grandchildren.

Rabbi Bogomilsky informed me also about your forthcoming trips to South America and Holland. I trust that you recall our conversation when you were here, about the need to utilize every opportunity to spread traditional Yiddishkeit, and that you will therefore also make good use of your trips abroad in this direction.

On the eve of Yud-Tes Kislev, the liberation day of the Old Rebbe, author of the Tanya and Shulchan Aruch, and founder of Chabad, whose 150th Yahrzeit Anniversary we are observing this year, I want to express the hope that the remembrance of this significant day will be a source of inspiration to you and every one of us.

Wishing you and yours also a happy Chanukah and a growing measure of the light of the Torah and Mitzvoth, which are also the channels and vessels to receive G-d’s blessings in all one’s needs, materially and spiritually, also in a growing measure.

With blessing,

M. Schneerson
