By the Grace of G-dErev Shabbos-KodeshMevorchim Chodesh Tammuz5745. Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I am pleased to extend prayerful wishes for a full measure of Hatzlocho in the forthcoming event.

Taking place on the eve of 12-13th Tammuz, the Geulah anniversary of my father-in-law the Rebbe of saintly memory, there is a special relevance, both in time and content, between the two events.

The Geulo anniversary recalls most vividly the total dedication of the Baal HaGeulo to the preservation and dissemination of Torah and Yiddishkeit, even at the peril of his life. And though locations, conditions and circumstances changed after his release from imprisonment and exile, his Mesiras Nefesh never slackened, and his efforts never ceased, throughout his life.

The Lubavitcher Yeshivoth were among his foremost concerns. He demanded the kind of Torah chinuch that would make the students neros l’ho’ir — shining lights, spreading the light of Torah and Mitzvoth around them - even after concluding their studies at the Yeshivah; and the boys did not disappoint him.

I hope and trust that all friends of Torah in general, and of the Lubavitcher Yeshivah in particular, will fully appreciate the vital importance of the Yeshivah, and will generously provide the financial means for its growth and development.

The Z’chus of supporting Torah, and the Z’chus of the Baal HaGeuolo in whose spirit the Yeshivah is conducted, will surely stand each and all of you in good stead, to be blessed from the Source of All Blessings in all needs, both materially and spiritually, in a generous measure.

With esteem and blessing for Hatzlocho

and for good tidings in all above,

M. Schneerson
