By the Grace of G-d 18th of Kislev, 5718 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and blessing!

I duly received your letter of December 3rd, in which you write about the proceedings of the meetings, in connection with the Yeshiva. I trust that the difficulties have not discouraged the workers, and you in particular, but have even called forth greater endeavor to meet the challenge and spread the Torah and Mitzvoth in every possible way. I was glad to read in your letter that you had an opportunity to meet with Mr. and Mrs. F, and talked with them regarding Mr. B. I trust that everyone will cooperate in helping to carry out the Divine Will and bring a Jewish family closer to the way of the Torah and Mitzvoth in daily life. On the eve of the great and illustrious day of the 19th of Kislev, I trust that In addition to your own observance of the day in the most suitable way, you will also have an opportunity to acquaint Mr. B with the historic events and significance of this Day.

With prayerful wishes for an inspiring 19th of Kislev, and Chanukah, and to hear good news from you always,

With blessing,
