Blessing and Greeting:
I received your letter of October 19th. Thank you very much for your expression of sympathy.1 May the Almighty grant the speedy fulfillment of the prophecy, "G-d will destroy death forever, and will wipe the tear from every face,"2 etc.
I was pleased to read the report about the activities of Neshei Chabad. I hope that this will continue in a growing measure.
We are now in the auspicious month of Kislev, a month of miracles and deliverance for all Jews, and of special significance for Chassidim, because of the notable days of Geulo, the 10th and 19th of Kislev. May these auspicious days bring every one of us, in the midst of all our people, a lasting inspiration and a growing measure of light and goodness.
With blessing
By Nissan Mindel
