לִכְבוֹד חֶמְדַּת לִבִּי הַחוֹשֵׁק וְצָמֵא לִשְׁתּוֹת מַיִם חַיִּים נוֹבְעִים וּמְתוּקִים מְאֹד עָמֹק עָמֹק מִי יִמְצְאֶנּוּ, וְאֵין אָדָם יוֹדֵעַ לִשְׁאֹב מִמֶּנּוּ, שָׁלוֹם וְנֹעַם ה' יִזְרַח עָלָיו לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים אָמֵן.

He who I love as my own soul, Mr. Z.

, Shalom and true life.
I have already written that I believe and hope, that because of the wondrous Providence that took place on
Chol
Hamoed
Pesach (-intermediary days of Passover), he will have an advantage and great blessing in the endeavor of drawing.
## Segment 3
תְּמוּנַת נֹעַם פָּנָיו הַמַּבִּיעַ עֲדִינוּת שֶׁל אַהֲבַת אֱמֶת וּתְמִימוּת מְצֻיָּר בְּעֹמֶק לִבִּי וְעוֹמֵד לְנֶגֶד עֵינַי תָּמִיד וְאֵינֶנִּי שׁוֹכֵחַ אוֹתוֹ. לְדַאֲבוֹנִי לֹא זָכִיתִי לִכְתֹּב לוֹ זֶה זְמַן רַב, כִּי אֲנִי חוֹלֶה וְחָלוּשׁ כֹּחַ לֹא עָלֶיךָ, וְעַתָּה הִנְנִי מִתְאַמֵּץ לִכְתֹּב מַה שֶּׁיַּזְמִין ה' לְיָדִי.
However, concurrent with this, I find myself obligated to reveal to his ears the truth which is in my heart, that in the matter of our endeavor, I am completely free of all types of materialistic ulterior self-interest for money and honor and the likes, Heaven forbid, just "for Hashem alone (Exodus 22:19)." And I am confident, and I rely upon the elevated level of his wisdom, that he understands and knows this matter with complete clarity by his own respectable self.
## Segment 4
דַּע כִּי דַּיְקָא עַכְשָׁו בְּדוֹרוֹתֵינוּ אֵלֶּה נִמְצָא אוֹר חָדָשׁ כָּזֶה הָעוֹלֶה עַל הַכֹּל שֶׁעֲדַיִן לֹא הָיָה בָּעוֹלָם, הַמֵּאִיר לְכָל אָדָם בְּחֶשְׁכַּת אֲפֵלָתוֹ לִמְצֹא עַל-יָדוֹ פֶּתַח לָצֵאת מִמַּאֲסַר הַחשֶׁךְ וְרֶשֶׁת הַהֲבָלִים וּלְהַגִּיעַ לְדֶרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה.
Hashem Yisburach knows and is witness, that I am ready and prepared to sacrifice my life, and my money, and everything I have for the sake of this cause, to draw a soul of Israel close to Hashem Yisburach, or in any event, to instill in him some thought of repentance, even for only one second!

Moharna"t
(acronym for: Our Teacher
HaRav
Nussun) asked
Rabbainu
za.tza.l
.
why he conceals himself (-his greatness) from before the
Rav
of
Berdichev
. And he replied, "To draw close to me, he cannot, except if he kindles the pipe for me, and this is not possible!"
Even if a person did what did, and sinned what he sinned, also then Hashem Yisburach constricts Himself from no limit and no end (-infinity), and conveys hints to him that he should draw close Him, with courses of different events which He brings about for all of this from His sublime mysteries, because He, blessed He, devises schemes so that no reject will be rejected from Him (Samuel 2:14:14).
## Segment 7
עֵצוֹת אֲמִתִּיּוֹת לְהִנָּצֵל מִבִּלְבּוּל וְעַקְמִימִיּוּת שֶׁל זֶה הָעוֹלָם שֶׁמְּעַקֵּם וּמְבַלְבֵּל הַלֵּב בְּלִי שִׁעוּר, צְרִיכִין עַתָּה בַּדּוֹרוֹת הַלָּלוּ לְחַפֵּשׂ וּלְבַקֵּשׁ מִסִּפְרֵי רַבֵּנוּ זַ"ל וְאֵצֶל תַּלְמִידָיו וְאֵצֶל תַּלְמִידֵי תַּלְמִידָיו וְכוּ'.
However all these allusions of His, and all His calling to us is through the true
tzadik
, that we return to Him from any place which may be – from all types of impediments, and incentives, and crookedness of the heart, from all types of uprising of the
kleepu
(-husk of impurity) of
Amulaik
which rises over a person, and every place his mind and his heart strayed and erred.
## Segment 8
אַשְׁרֵינוּ שֶׁאָנוּ זוֹכִים לֵידַע מִבַּעַל הַנִּפְלָאוֹת אֲשֶׁר כָּל דְּבָרָיו וּדְרָכָיו הַתְּמִימִים וְהָעֲמֻקִּים שֶׁהִשְׁאִיר לָנוּ יְרֻשָּׁה טוֹבָה, כֻּלָּם נִפְלָאִים פִּלְאֵי פְּלָאוֹת עַד אֵין חֵקֶר. וְנַפְשִׁי יוֹדַעַת מְאֹד שֶׁאֵין בְּכָל הָעוֹלָם מִי שֶׁיֵּדַע וְיַרְגִּישׁ נִפְלָאוֹת כָּאֵלֶּה, כַּאֲשֶׁר זָכִינוּ אֲנַחְנוּ בְּעֵינֵינוּ, אֲשֶׁר יִלְאֶה הַפֶּה לְדַבֵּר וְהַרַעֲיוֹן לְהָכִיל עֹצֶם הַנִּפְלָאוֹת אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה עִמָּנוּ אֲדוֹן הַנִּפְלָאוֹת לִזְכּוֹת לְקַבֵּל אוֹרוֹת עֲצוּמוֹת וְנוֹרָאוֹת כָּאֵלֶּה מֵאוֹר הָאוֹרוֹת וְכוּ' וְכוּ'.
The very point of the innermost inside of the heart of every single one of Israel – abundant and fierce waters cannot extinguish it (Song of Songs 8:7), even if there transpires over him what transpires, even though the
bal
duvur
(-litigator-evil inclination-Satan) intensifies severely, and just about incinerates him completely, even still, it is forbidden for him to despair of himself, just, it is necessary to glean and to search for some good points from the midst of the multitude of sins which he was errant in them, and through this he will merit to return to Hashem Yisburach in truth (Likutay Moharan, Torah 282 – "
Azamru
").
## Segment 9
אִי אֶפְשָׁר לִחְיוֹת אֵיזֶה חִיּוּת בָּעוֹלָם כִּי אִם עַל-פִּי דִּבְרֵי קָדְשׁוֹ שֶׁל רַבֵּנוּ זֵכֶר צַדִּיק וְקָדוֹשׁ לִבְרָכָה, אֲשֶׁר רַק מִמֶּנּוּ נִמְשָׁךְ בְּחִינַת הַמִּלְחָא הַמַּמְתִּיק מְרִירוּתָא דְּעַלְמָא, אֲשֶׁר בְּלֹא זֶה לֹא הָיָה אֶפְשָׁר לִחְיוֹת וּלְהִתְקַיֵּם כְּלָל. אַשְׁרֵינוּ שֶׁאָנוּ זוֹכִים עַל כָּל פָּנִים לֵידַע מֵחִיּוּתֵנוּ, מִי מְחַיֶּה אוֹתָנוּ וְאֶת כָּל הָעוֹלָמוֹת כֻּלָּם, מַה שֶּׁרֹב הָעוֹלָם אֵינָם זוֹכִים לָזֶה. חֲזַק וֶאֱמַץ וְתָגִיל וְתָשִׂישׂ בִּישׁוּעָתוֹ הַקְּדוֹשָׁה אֲשֶׁר זָכִינוּ לִשְׁאֹב מַיִם בְּשָׂשׂוֹן מִמַּעְיְנֵי הַיְשׁוּעָה, אֲשֶׁר עֲדַיִן לֹא נִפְסְקוּ מֵימָיו הַקְּדוֹשִׁים כַּאֲשֶׁר אָנוּ רוֹאִים בְּחוּשׁ שֶׁגַּם עַתָּה נוֹבְעִים דְּבָרָיו כְּמַעְיָן הַנּוֹבֵעַ.
These garments of feces that every person has, as long as he did not rectify his sins, and particularly he who got filthy the way he got filthy, may the Merciful One save us, which through this the obstructions and partition are aroused and intensify upon him every time, and they spread out before him and are very extremely curtailing, like an actual river, and from there come all the falls and alienation of many people from Hashem Yisburach, because even if one arouses some times to return to Hashem Yisburach, immediately the garments of feces spread out against him, and they do not allow him to draw close, and so it is every time, and over this David screamed (Psalms 69:3), "I drowned in the slimy deep bog and there is no foothold etc.," "(verse 15) save me from mud so that I don't drown etc.," and the essential rectification for this is … [the end of this letter is missing].
## Segment 10
הֶמְשֵׁךְ יָבוֹא בִּישׁוּעַת ה'. בִּדְרִישַׁת שָׁלוֹם בְּאַהֲבַת אֱמֶת.
A trembling and a shudder seized me — from the immensity of his pain — from his harsh pain and the great shattering — that his heart has been shattered into broken pieces — from the passing of his righteous wife — precious and noble and delicate of soul. Who gave her soul all the days of her life for the people of Israel and for the Land of Israel — chosen from all the lands. Fortunate is her portion — may her soul be bound in the bond of life — together with the souls of all the Tzadikim. And may she pray and advocate well — for him and for his honored family.
Whom Hashem has chosen — to save Israel from the hand of our murderous enemies — who have lain in ambush for us to annihilate us — Heaven forbid. And gave him wisdom and counsel and strength and heroism — to subdue and to shatter and to drive away the terrorists and the Russians and the Syrians — who have lain in ambush for us to annihilate us — Heaven forbid. Through great miracles and wonders — at which the entire world is amazed and glorifies and praises these most awesome wonders — that Hashem performed with us through him. May Hashem guard him and keep him alive with a long and good life. And save him from the hand of all his enemies. Upon his throne of kingship — "In his days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will dwell securely" [Jeremiah 33:16].
