LETTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SIX
With the help of Hashem Yisborach  ·  Wednesday, Parshas Teitzei — Breslov  ·  Year 5598 (1838)
To Peace — to my beloved son — my dear one — the rabbinical scholar — and so forth — our Teacher the Rabbi Yitzchok — may his light shine.

Please receive the enclosed letter for Rabbi Yasi son of Rabbi Lipa of Odessa — and see to send it immediately — for it is urgent — for he is urging him to come for Rosh Hashanah coming upon us for good — for it is for the benefit of all of us that another soul be added to the holy gathering — so that the houses multiply and so forth. And the Master of mercies Who has wondrous-made His *chesed* with us — to taste from such wondrous novellae as were never heard in the world — He will complete the building that He began — so that many neighbors multiply — until He gathers into them all the holy stones that were poured out at the head of every street [אַבְנֵי קֹדֶשׁ שֶׁנִּשְׁפְּכוּ בְּרֹאשׁ כָּל חוּצוֹת — the holy stones poured at the head of every street — a verse from Eichah (4:1) — "Eichah yu'am zahav...tishapachna avnei kodesh b'rosh kol chutzos" — "How the gold has grown dim... the holy stones are poured at the head of every street." In Breslov teaching this refers to the scattered holy souls — those who have fallen far from holiness — who will all be gathered and redeemed through the power of the true tzaddik] — which also alludes to the blemish that is made from the blemish of the holy *bris* — that will be repaired through this — as you will understand from yourself. And from the greatness of the pressing — it is impossible to extend at all — for he wants to travel today on his way to Uman for the holy and awesome Rosh Hashanah coming upon us for good.

The words of your father who awaits to see you with all the anshei sh'lomaynu in Uman for Rosh Hashanah coming upon us for good. The Master of mercies will do good — the inscription and the sealing — for good and long life and peace.

Nussun of Breslov.

And peace to all our anshei sh'lomaynu with great love.

The greatness of his pain — to the point of his soul — from the illness of his friend Rabbi Nachman — may his light shine — you will understand yourself. May Hashem Yisborach have mercy on him and on us — and send him complete healing quickly. And see immediately in the first post to write him a letter to Uman — to inform him of the good from him. Would that someone inform him of good tidings quickly — Amen so may it be His will. All his letters he received — all of them. And in his letters — the answer to his question is already clarified from himself. And just now there is no leisure to reply — and to Hashem the salvation that He repair everything in His mercies and great compassion — Amen.
