Igrot Kodesh · Letter 1050 — Health

By the grace of Hashem,
15 Sivan 5711,
Brooklyn,

To the distinguished chassid* who has yiras Shamayim*, Rav Yosef[1],

Greetings and blessings,

The chassid* who has yiras Shamayim* and dedicates himself to public needs, Rav Shlomo Zalman Hecht, transmitted to me your request for a blessing.

When I find myself near the tziyun* of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, I will mention your name, and without doubt, he will invoke divine mercy for the satisfaction of all your needs.

Hashem asked the kohanim*[2] to bless the people of Israel with love. They must therefore, in all their conduct, suffuse themselves with this love for their fellow. From then on, Hashem gives them the assurance that "I, I will bless them" — that He will also show them His love by offering them an evident good.

You doubtless study, each day, the parshah* of the week, Tehillim* according to its monthly division, and Tanya* as my father-in-law, the Rebbe, divided it for all the days of the year.

With my blessing that you should be in good health and may announce good news to me in this domain,
