By the Grace of G-d 9th of Adar, 5739 Brooklyn, N. Y.
Mr. Yerachmiel Spiegel
5601 E. River Rd.
Minneapolis, Minn. 55432
Greeting and Blessing:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter of March 2nd. May G-d grant the fulfillment of your heart’s desires for good - as G-d truly knows what is good for you in general, and in the specific matter in particular.
Speaking generally, it is customary for a Jew who desires to have special Hatzlocho in business or industry, to take G-d as a partner, which entails two conditions: Firstly, that the business or factory is conducted in accordance with the laws of Shabbos and Yom Tov observance, under the direction of a Rov. Secondly, that a certain percentage is set aside from the net profits for matters of Tzedoko, Torah institutions, Chinuch and the like.
At this time before Purim, I extend to you and all yours my prayerful wishes for an inspiring and joyous Purim.
With blessing
M. Schneerson
