My beloved son — my dear one. On Hoshana Rabbah he wrote him his letter — and praised be G-d — they rejoiced and danced in His chesed Yisborach in these holy days. May Hashem Yisborach help them to rejoice every day in the pleasantness of their portion — and to say with mouth and heart full — with great joy every day: ashreinu mah tov chelkeinu — and so forth — and likewise baruch Elokeinu she'b'ra'anu lichvodo — and so forth — and likewise aleinu l'shabeich la'adon hakol — and to add every day more songs and praises on this. [These are three of the central prayers of the daily liturgy — Ashreinu from Aleinu l'Shabeich — Baruch Elokeinu from the morning prayer — and Aleinu l'Shabeich la'Adon Hakol — the great prayer of Jewish particularity and universal redemption — Reb Nussun wants them said not as rote liturgy but as joyous, personal, renewed thanksgiving every single day — savored as new gifts each morning] In particular poor and destitute people who are as persecuted — like them — they need to strengthen themselves very very greatly every day at every time and every hour to rejoice in their holy portion — that they merited not to oppose such a holy and awesome light — which strengthens and encourages them in the joy of the holiness of Israel — who walk in the path of truth. The words of your father — who writes in great haste — for the time of prayer has arrived — and he is now prepared and ready to say ashreinu — and so forth. May the Master of Joy gladden them with this in truth. Nussun of Breslov.
