ב"ה13th of Nissan, 5712Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mr. Benjamin Glazer
1775 Broadway
New York, N.Y.
My dear Mr. Glazer:
I take this opportunity to extend to you and yours my prayerful wishes for a kosher and happy Pesach.
Yetzias Mitzraim – the liberation from Egyptian enslavement, and from all spiritual and physical limitations and handicaps – is a subject which the Torah commanded us to impress especially upon the children of every type – the wise, wicked, simple and ignorant. Where Jewish education is concerned, it is our paramount duty to see to it that all Jewish children without exception, boys as well as girls, receive a pure Jewish education, based on the Torah and Tradition.
The enclosed Message,1 which I trust you will find of interest, emphasizes this lesson more fully, a lesson which we must bear in mind constantly, every day.
I am looking forward to your continued cooperation toward achieving this goal.
With kindest personal regards, and blessing.
Cordially Yours,
M. Schneerson
