By the Grace of G-d 22nd of Adar, 5740 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing 

I am in receipt of your letter in which you ask in what school you should continue your Torah education after you graduate the Lubavitch Junior School.

The best advice you can get in this matter is from the administration of your present school, since they know you personally, and have your best interests at heart. 

Since you conclude your letter with the wish to have a "happy Pesach," I trust that you know that the traditional blessing is to wish one another a "Kosher and happy Pesach.” This means, of course, that it should be kosher in the ordinary sense, and also kosher in the spiritual sense, being inspired by the message and teachings of Pesach. One of them is that before the geula from Egyptian bondage came about the Jews had to order their daily life in accordance with the teachings of Moshe Rabbeinu, which were later conveyed also in Toras Moshe for all generations to come for men, for women and children. Indeed, the Jewish children in Egypt at that time had a very special role in the liberation of all our people, having been brought up and permeated with true Yiddishkeit, so that they were the first to recognize G-d and to exclaim, “This is my G-d,” as our Sages tell us. 

I trust you are studying the Torah with devotion and diligence and conducting yourself in full accord with the Torah and mitzvos, including the great mitzvah of V'Ohavto L’Reacho Komocho, to be a good influence on your friends by showing them a shining example of how a Jewish boy should conduct himself. 

Wishing you and your dear parents and family a kosher and happy Pesach. 

With blessing,
