Greetings and blessing,

I was pleased to receive your reply, and especially to have your confirmation that, according to you, the situation is not negative, chas veshalom*. You know the saying of our holy masters: "When one thinks that all is well, all is indeed well." This too is a promise. May Hashem grant that it be so, in a visible and tangible good, very soon.

I have also learned with pleasure that you took part in the chassidishe* gathering of the last day of Pesach*, that of Seudas Moshiach*. As you know, Chazal* say that "joy breaks all limits" — in particular the one that bears the name of Moshiach*, of whom it is said: "The breacher will go up before them."

You will consult Aggadas Bereishis, end of the parshah, paragraph 3, the Midrash Bereishis Rabbah, end of the parshah, paragraph 5, and Or HaTorah of the Tzemach Tzedek*, Shemos, end of page 51.

On this occasion, I would ask you to greet your brother on my behalf, and I conclude my letter by addressing, to you and to all your household, my blessing for a healthy and joyous summer.

With my blessing,
