By the Grace of G-dErev Shabbos KodeshRosh Chodesh Shevat, 5747Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I was pleased to be informed that you will be honored at the forthcoming Dinner Event of Chabad-Lubavitch, on the eve of the auspicious day of the 10th of Shevat.

I send you hearty congratulations and best wishes.

From what I have been informed about you and your devotion to your fellow Jews and to the community, the honor and recognition are well deserved.

In keeping with the well known saying of our Sages that, "One who has 100, desires 200," and so on, I am sure that you will continue from strength to strength, and every accomplishment, particularly in matters of Ahavas Yisroel, will stimulate you to redouble your efforts, helping to spread the eternal light of Torah and Mitzvoth in an ever growing measure.

Although this is a "must" for its own sake, in fulfillment of one of the greatest obligations and privileges of being a Jew - it also widens the channels to receive a growing flow of Divine blessings in all one's personal needs, both materially and spiritually.

With esteem and blessing,

M. Schneerson

P.S. As requested, I will remember you and all the members of your family in prayer, when visiting the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, of saintly memory. May you always have good news to report.
