By the Grace of G-d23rd of Sivan, 5714Brooklyn, N.Y.

Sholom uBrocho:

I have received your letter, in which you write about your state of health, and about the difficulties you encounter in observing Yiddishkeit according to your convictions.

I trust you carry out the physician's instructions with regard to your health, and I hope that by the time this letter reaches you, it has improved steadily.

With regard to your other problem, it would be advisable that you discuss the matter with your Roshei-Yeshiva with a view to your going to the Yeshivah in Brunoy, France. Of course, they would have to communicate with Brunoy first to make sure there is a suitable group for you. To go to France would be much easier and simpler than to the States, and you would have there, too, the desired environment.

May G-d help you to fulfil your heart's desire for good to keep Torah and Mitzvoth with Yiras Shomaim.

With blessing,

M.Schneerson
