Igrot Kodesh · Letter 458 — Gratitude to Supporter of Merkaz L'Inyanei Chinuch

B"H, 6 Adar 5709

To Rav Elchanan HaCohen (also known as Alexandre Koven*)[1],

Salutations and blessings,

I wish to express my deep thanks for your great interest, your precious help, and your collaboration with Merkaz L'Inyanei Chinuch*[2], especially during this current critical period.

I am therefore sending you, as a gift on behalf of the institution, a photograph of the Previous Rebbe*, as an expression of deep gratitude. As the Sages state (Sotah* 36b): seeing the image of a holy man gives one strength to advance on the path of Torah* and mitzvot*. It is my hope that this will infuse new strength for multiplied positive accomplishments, and especially for increasing your participation in the activities of Merkaz L'Inyanei Chinuch.

With blessing and with great appreciation,
