By the Grace of G-d 13 Tishrei, 5740 Brooklyn, N. Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I was pleased to receive your letter of 17th Sept., and enclosure.

I heartily reciprocate your good wishes for a Shana Tova, and may G-d grant the fulfilment of all the good wishes that Jews wish each other in these auspicious days.

It was particularly gratifying to note the decisions adopted by your Congregation to strengthen Yiddishkeit in your community. May you go from strength to strength in this direction, in all matters of Torah and Mitzvos in the everyday life, with enthusiasm and gladness of heart. This will further widen the channels to receive G-d's blessings in all needs, materially and spiritually.

Please convey to all the members of your Congregation my prayerful wishes for Hatzlocho in all above and for a joyous and inspiring Zman Simchoseinu, and to carry the inspiration and joy into every day of the New Year.

With esteem and blessing 

M. Schneerson
