By the Grace of G-d28th of Sivan, 5718Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I received your letter of the 9th of Sivan, and also personal regards through Dr. Nissan Mindel,

I was gratified to learn that you had an inspiring Shevuoth, and I trust that your experiences were fully shared by your wife.

You write that you were greatly impressed by the report you heard from Dr. Nissan Mindel of his meeting with our followers behind the Iron Curtain, and of the great sacrifices which they are making to preserve our sacred traditions under the most difficult circumstances. I trust that these impressions will find expression in a practical way in your own life, as well as in your influence on others. For, in places where Jews are fortunate enough to live in freedom, with every opportunity to practise their religion to the fullest extent, without having to make any real sacrifices, how grateful they should feel, and, at the same time, how much greater are their responsibilities in this direction. ...
