LETTER TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO

Blessed be Hashem · Sunday, Parshas Korach — Nemirov · Year 5597 (1837)

To My beloved son — my dear one — the rabbinical scholar — our Teacher the Rabbi Yitzchok — may his light shine. And with all who have gone forth from his loins — may they live.

I received your letter on Tuesday, Parshas Sh'lach. And it was a very great comfort to me — for my eyes were watching and yearning all this time to see your letter — and my hope was disappointed — for the letter was delayed until that Tuesday. Blessed be Hashem Who helped me until here — that you informed me of good news from the recovery of your children — may they live — and that you received my letter and so forth. Blessed be Hashem Who helped me until here.

And praised be G-d — just now it is somewhat quiet here — but still at every time I have fears when the anshei sh'lomaynu gather — and I do not know at all how to conduct myself. And thanks be to G-d — on the past *Shabbas* — four kosher guests were with me — and blessed be Hashem — we spoke words of truth and rejoiced a little. And all our words were on the matter of the *Midrash* I wrote to you — *"ein mechazkim ela limchuzakim"* — one strengthens only those who are already strong — and so forth. And due to the pressing — and also because I do not know by whom my letter will be sent since I am sending it to Breslov — it is therefore impossible to extend.

The words of your father who awaits salvation soon — for the sake of His name Yisborach.

Nussun of Breslov.

To inform me of good tidings.
