By the Grace of G-d Rosh Chodesh Adar, 5742 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Blessing and Greeting:

This is to acknowledge receipt of your correspondence, As requested, I will remember you in prayer for the fulfillment of your heart's desires for good in all the matters about which you wrote.

There is surely no need to emphasize to you at length that there is always room for improvement in all matters of goodness and holiness, Torah and Mitzvoth, which are infinite, being connected with The Infinite, And since this is also the channel to receive g-d's blessings, every additional effort in this direction is bound to bring additional Devine blessings in all needs.

Now that we have entered the auspicious month of Adar, which is highlighted by the festival of Purim, it is timely to recall the commentary of our Sages on the words of the Megillah, "For the Jews there was Light, Joy, Gladness and Honor" - "Light - this is Torah... Joy - these are the Yomim Tovim," etc. In this way they emphasized that insofar as Jews are concerned, light, joy, etc., in the ordinary sense is closely linked with the inner meaning of light and joy, namely the Torah and Jewish way of life. Thus, the eternal message of Purim reaffirms this basic concept of Yiddishkeit, from which it also follows that every additional effort in matters of Torah and Mitzvoth brings additional Divine blessings in all needs, both materially and spiritually.

Wishing you and yours a joyous and inspiring Purim, and hoping to hear good news from you in all above,

With blessing

M. Schneerson
