Greeting and Blessing:
I take this opportunity of expressing to you my satisfaction at seeing your daughter. Although in her modesty she did not say "much" about herself, it was evident to me that she has made great strides in her development and achievements. These impressions were further confirmed by what I have heard from other sources.
May G-d grant that you should have much true Nachas from her and from all your children in an evergrowing measure.
I am particularly pleased that she was here in the month of Tishrei, the initial month of the year that sets the tone for the entire year —
Which is also the reason why the month of Tishrei contains "samples" of the whole range of religious experience: Roch Hashanah — acceptance of G-d's Kingship; Yom Kippur — repentance; Succoth — rejoicing with Mitzvoth, culminating with Simchas Torah — rejoicing with the Torah, and also the Torah rejoicing with Jews, who live by the Torah and Mitzvoth.
I am confident that these experiences will brighten her life throughout the year and be a source of true joy in every respect of the daily life, materially and spirtually.
With blessing,
M. Schneerson
