Igrot Kodesh · Letter 1016 — General

By the grace of Hashem,
22 Iyar 5711,
Brooklyn,

Greetings and blessings,

The Rav, distinguished chassid* who has yiras Shamayim* and dedicates himself faithfully to communal needs, Rav Mordechai Chodakov, transmitted to me your letter, in which you inform me that your business is very quiet and that you are worrying about your debts.

You must not be preoccupied by all this. Generally, business is quiet during this period. Despite this, you will redouble your efforts to find new clients, and you will not wait for them to enter your store of their own accord. You will let your friends and acquaintances know that you sell textiles. Thus, without doubt, Hashem will allow you to provide for your needs, from His full and holy hand.

You must, nevertheless, maintain the time you have fixed for the study of Torah. It is thus that you will keep open the channels conveying blessings, which will satisfy all your needs, as well as those of your wife.

I hope you will announce good news to me on this. Enclosed you will find the sicha* of Lag BaOmer* that has just been edited. You will surely study it and you will transmit some passages to your wife.

With my blessing that you may know prosperity,
