By the Grace of G-d8th of Marcheshvan, 5726Brooklyn, N. Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I am in receipt of your letter of the 3rd of Marcheshvan, as well as your previous correspondence. As requested, I will remember you and yours in prayer, when visiting the holy resting place of my father-in-law of saintly memory, for the fulfillment of your hearts’ desires for good in all the matters about which you write. May G-d grant that you should have good news to report.

Especially as we have now come from the month of Tishrei, the month which is sated with festivals and with a complete variety of deep religious experiences, culminating in a most joyous note, that of Simchas Torah. As explained in our holy sources, the month of Tishrei is a "general" month, the epitome of the whole year, and the source of inspiration and blessing for every day of the year. May G-d grant that it should be so for you, and that all your affairs should be permeated with true joy, the joy of the Torah and Mitzvoth.

With blessing

By Nissan Mindel
