By the Grace of G־d16th of Shevat, 5728Brooklyn, N. Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

In reply to your letter of the 21st of Teves;

Since you will conclude your studies in another year and a half, your decision as what to do after that should be made closer to that time.

As of now, and most important, is to study the Torah with diligence and fulfill its Mitzvos. You should strengthen yourself in your daily conduct that it should conform to the instructions of our Torah, Toras Chaim (the Torah of Life), in compliance with its commandments by which the Jew lives. In addition to the essential aspect, namely, that this is the command of G-d, which must be complied with for its own sake, it is also the way to receive G-d’s blessings in all one’s needs.

It would be good to have your Tefillin checked that they be Kosher.

You surely know of the shiur Tehillim (monthly) that is to be said every morning after Shacharis, as the Tehillim is divided according to the days of the month.

With blessing,

Rabbi Simpson

(secretary of the Rebbe)
