The words of your father — who is grateful for the past and who awaits for the future — great salvations — we shall be glad and rejoice in His salvation.

Nussun of Breslov.

To: My beloved son, my dear one — the eminent scholarly one — our Teacher the Rabbi Yitzchok — may his light shine. [Yitzchok] Behold — today there came to my home the bearer of this letter — the

distinguished scholarly leader — our Teacher the Rabbi Chayyim — may his light shine — from Lvov. And he is a close relative of yours — for his late father was the brother of my late mother-in-law — of blessed memory — who is your grandmother on your mother's side.

And he ate with me today — and he is a man of distinction. And he came to us in order to see me face to face — and to see all of you — for you are indeed his own flesh and bone. And as he passes through to Kamenets — he will stop at your home — and receive him properly — with a pleasant and welcoming countenance — and those who honor me — honor them. And also see to speak with him well — how to send a letter to him in Lvov — through Radivil [רָאדִיוִויל — Radzivilov: a town on the border of Volhynia and Galicia, a major postal crossing point between the Russian Empire and the Austrian Empire. Letters to and from Lvov (Lemberg, in Austrian Galicia) would pass through this crossing] — and in whose name it would be sent to Radivil and from there to him. And similarly on the return — how letters would be sent from him to you. And register your address with him — so that we can easily reach letters from each other. For it is very needed by us — for great salvation can sprout from this regarding the printing of our books [יְשׁוּעָה גְּדוֹלָה בְּעִנְיַן הַדְפָּסַת סְפָרֵינוּ — the printing of the Rebbe's books in Lvov (Lemberg) — a major printing center in Galicia under Austrian rule — is a long-standing Breslov goal. A connection in Lvov could open this possibility significantly. The word *yitzmach* — will sprout — echoes the *tzmichas keren yeshuah* of the Amidah and many previous letters: the sprouting of salvation] — for according to his words we can print there — through His great salvation, Yisborach. And he also purchased from me a copy of the Likutay Tefillas [לִקּוּטֵי תְּפִלּוֹת — the Likutay Tefillas compiled by Reb Nussun himself: prayers corresponding to each of the Rebbe's Torahs in Likutay Moharan, drawing out the practical prayer dimension of each teaching. One of Reb Nussun's major literary achievements — now being distributed and sold] — praised be G-d. And from yourself you will understand the wonders of Hashem — each day and at every time. Hashem will fight for us — and we shall be still — and we will see His great salvation that He will perform with us in His kindness — until the truth is revealed to the eyes of all [ה' יִלָּחֵם לָנוּ וַאֲנַחְנוּ נַחֲרִישׁ — Shemos 14:14: Moshe's words to Israel at the sea, moments before the splitting: "Hashem will fight for you — and you shall be silent." The verse of radical trust at the moment of utter impossibility. Applied to the battle for the spreading of the Rebbe's books and truth: Reb Nussun must not fight with human means — Hashem will fight — and the human role is silence and trust. Until the truth is revealed to the eyes of all — *ad yitgaleh ha'emes l'ein kol* — the ultimate divine vindication that Reb Nussun anticipates] [Shemos 14:14]. Beyond this there is no time to extend. The words of your father — who awaits seeing you soon. Nussun of Breslov. [Translator's Note: Overview: Sunday, Parshas Naso.

Key Themes Yitzmach Yeshuah — Printing in Lvov Great salvation can sprout from the connection with Rabbi Chayyim of Lvov — a *tzmichas keren yeshuah* — for the printing of the Rebbe's books in the major Galician printing center. The word *yitzmach* — will sprout — echoes the Amidah's imagery throughout these letters.]
