By the Grace of G-d25th of Nissan, 573713th of April, 1977Brooklyn, N. Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I am pleased to acknowledge receipt of your message of greetings and felicitations on the occasion of my recent birthday as expressed in your kind Commendation.

Your warm sentiments are particularly welcome and meaningful in view of the fact that your great city hosts a renowned Chabad House and educational and religious activities so vital in this day and age.

In behalf of our movement, therefore, no less than in my own behalf, I prayerfully reciprocate your good wishes by reiterating the Divine Promise given to our Patriarch Abraham, “I will bless them that bless thee.” Accordingly, may you and all the good citizens of your city enjoy G-d’s blessings in a generous measure, materially and spiritually.

With blessing, 

Cordially yours,

M. Schneerson
