By the Grace of G-d22nd of Iyar, 5725Brooklyn, N. Y.
Junior Bnos Chabad
of Montreal
Blessing and Greeting:
For the record, I am acknowledging your report about your activities.
No doubt you participated in the audience which followed the Convention, and may G-d grant that the words spoken on that occasion should be effective and fruitful, and should be expressed in an increased tempo of activities, for the benefit of the many.1 For, surely you know that the Alter Rebbe, founder of Chabad, wrote at the beginning of his book Torah Or - which indicates the contents of the book by its name "The Torah is Light” - 2וכך הוא בכל ישראל על ידי שמתקן מעשיו כו‘ נעשה מוחו ולבו זכים אלף פעמים ככה The mind – which is the seat of the intellect, and the heart - the seat of emotion, and together they include the whole man, the soul with the body.
I wish you a growing measure of Hatzlocho in your activities, and hope to hear good news from you.
With blessing
By (secretary)
