By the Grace of G-d18th of Adar, 5740Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I am pleased to acknowledge receipt of your message of congratulations and good wishes on the occasion of our Thirtieth Anniversary.

Your warm sentiments are all the more welcome and encouraging in view of the fact that our Lubavitch movement has for many years enjoyed such a conducive and co-operative climate in the Jewish community of Montreal. I am confident that, as all good things which should always be on the ascendancy, our institutions and programs in your community will continue to enjoy consistent and growing support, and will thus be able to expand still further its dedicated services to the community.

I can best reciprocate your good wishes by reiterating the Divine Promise to our Father Abraham, ”I will bless them that bless you."

Accordingly, may G-d bestow His generous blessings on your Jewish community and its distinguished dedicated leaders for ever growing prosperity, both materially and spiritually.

With esteem and blessing

M. Schneerson
