By the Grave of G-d 16th of Tammuz, 5720 Brooklyn, N.Y.

Greeting and Blessing:

I received your letter of the 17th of Sivan and I was pleased to read in it about your own programme of Torah study, as well as about the education of your children, which is, in fact, so fundamental that the commandment "And thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children,”¹ is placed in the prayer of Shema twice, since it is the very foundation of our life and the life of our people.

As in all matters of holiness, we have been commanded to go from strength to strength, and there is always room for improvement; inasmuch as all things of goodness and holiness come from G-d who is Infinite, I trust that you also will make growing efforts in this direction. This will open new channels and vessels to receive G-d's blessings in a growing measure.

I hope you will find the enclosed copy of my message² both interesting and useful, for, although it is dated, it is timely all year round.

Hoping to hear good news from you,

with blessing,

By Nissan Mindel.
