## Segment 1

<div dir="rtl" lang="he">

בְּעֶזְרַת הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ, יוֹם ד' ח"י תַּמּוּז תקצ"א.

</div>

Peace — to my beloved son, my dear one, our Teacher the Rabbi
 Yitzchok — may his light shine.


## Segment 2

<div dir="rtl" lang="he">

אֲהוּבִי בְּנִי חֲבִיבִי, נִפְלֵאתִי עָלֶיךָ עַל אֲשֶׁר לֹא כָּתַבְתָּ לִי דָּבָר זֶה קָרוֹב לְשָׁבוּעַ, בִּפְרָט עַל יְדֵי גִּיסְךָ מוֹסֵר כְּתָב זֶה. עַל כֵּן תִּרְאֶה לְהוֹדִיעֵנוּ מִיָּד מִשְּׁלוֹמְךָ הַטּוֹב, וְגַם מֵרַבִּי שִׁמְשׁוֹן, וְדַעְתְּךָ בִּנְסִיעָתִי אֶצְלְכֶם, וַה' הַטּוֹב יַעֲשֶׂה. כָּעֵת עֲדַיִן אֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ מָתַי אֶסַּע, וְסֵדֶר הַנְּסִיעָה, וְעַל הַכֹּל אֲנִי סוֹמֵךְ עָלָיו יִתְבָּרַךְ לְבַד.

</div>

There is no leisure to extend. And I have asked you to send me at once the
 kerblich
 [the small coins held in trust from Rabbi Shimshon]
 from Rabbi Shimshon that are held safely with you — for the hour presses upon
 me greatly now. And may Hashem Yisborach strengthen your heart to be in joy
 always — and may He remove illness from your house. And inform me of your wife
 — may she live — for I have hoped in Hashem that she will have healing soon
 without physical remedies specifically
 [בְּלִי רְפוּאוֹת גַּשְׁמִיִּים דַּיְקָא — specifically
 without conventional medical treatment. The word davka — specifically,
 precisely — marks this as a deliberate and principled stance. As with the
 healing of Yosef Yonah in Letter 52 — "in our way, as is known to you" — this
 reflects the Breslov posture of trusting entirely in divine mercy and prayer
 rather than physicians].
 And may Hashem Yisborach have mercy — that she listen to our words and
 not come to any doctor
 [דָּאקְטִיר — the Slavic/Yiddish loan-word for a secular
 physician] — and then it will be good for you.


## Segment 3

<div dir="rtl" lang="he">

וְנָא בְּנִי חֲזַק וַחֲזַק מְאֹד מְאֹד, בְּכָל יוֹם וּבְכָל עֵת. כִּי הִנְּךָ רוֹאֶה מַה שֶּׁעוֹבֵר עַל כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד, וּבִפְרָט מַה שֶּׁעוֹבֵר עָלֶיךָ, וְהַכֹּל לְטוֹבָה, כְּדֵי לְהַזְכִּירְךָ עַל יְדֵי זֶה דַּיְקָא אֶת הַתַּכְלִית הָאַחֲרוֹן, אֲשֶׁר חוּץ מִזֶּה הַכֹּל הֶבֶל, וְהַסִּימָן שֶׁל עֹמֶר שְׂעוֹרִים אַל יַעֲבֹר מִדַּעְתְּךָ (לִקּוּטֵי הַלָכוֹת הִלְכוֹת תְּפִלִּין ו, לב). כִּי עֲדַיִן אַתָּה יָכוֹל לְהִתְגַּבֵּר בְּמַחְשְׁבוֹתֶיךָ בְּכָל עֵת בְּשֵׁב וְאַל תַּעֲשֶׂה, כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְנוּ כְּבָר, וַה' יוֹשִׁיעַ לְךָ.

</div>

And behold — what has happened with you: you have certainly already heard that
 Rabbi Moshe Chaim has already agreed that his son-in-law should travel — as he
 wrote me today.
 And in this too one can see and understand the salvation of
 Hashem at every time — that there is no obstacle in the world that He
 cannot break.


## Segment 4

<div dir="rtl" lang="he">

דִּבְרֵי אָבִיךָ הֶחָפֵץ לִשְׁמֹעַ כָּל טוּב מֵאִתְּכֶם תָּמִיד.

</div>

For Hashem Yisborach does not send upon a person a thing
 that he cannot bear in any way.
 [A principle rooted in the midrash — "the Holy One does
 not burden a creature beyond what it can bear" [Vayikra Rabbah 27:7; also
 Sh'mos Rabbah 34:1] — applied here specifically to spiritual obstacles and
 desires: every impediment placed before a person carries within it the implicit
 proof that this person has the power to overcome it]
 And this is an allusion
 [וְזֶה רֶמֶז — remez: not merely a
 suggestion or analogy. Remez is a technical term — the second of
 the four levels of Torah interpretation (PaRDeS: p'shat, remez, d'rash,
 sod). When Reb Nussun says v'zeh remez l'chol odom, he is
 saying that the event — Rabbi Moshe Chaim's reversal — contains within it a
 genuine embedded allusion to a universal truth, a teaching encoded in the
 particular by divine design]
 to every person regarding all his obstacles and desires — that certainly, if
 he did not have the power to break them, Hashem Yisborach would not have sent
 such things upon him. And certainly
 there is a path to draw near to Hashem Yisborach even from
 these very places — and understand this very, very well.

And one must ask Hashem Yisborach very much that He have compassion upon him
 at every time — and that He show him the path of how to
 draw near to Him from these very places and from these very things that pass
 over him. And this suffices for now.

The words of your father — who awaits to rejoice in you forever — who seeks
 your peace always with love.

Nussun of Breslov.
