LETTER THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR
Blessed be Hashem  ·  Monday, Parshas Sh'mos — Teplik (on the road to Uman)  ·  Year 5601 (1841)
ToMy beloved son — my dear one.

He received his letter at this hour — just before the morning prayer. And he is preoccupied to pray and to go to the mikveh — for the time of prayer has already arrived. And meanwhile the courier came here with his letter and with the proof sheet — for which his eyes had longed and yearned to merit to see it. And the immensity of his joy and the comfort of spirit that you made for him — in what you hastened yourself to inform him — you can understand yourself. But it is impossible to extend now — for he is preoccupied to pray. And behold — he interrupted his letter — and prayed Shacharis — and he has still not yet put on the tefillin of Rabbeinu Tam. For now he cannot extend at all — if Hashem wills — from Uman he will write more explained. And in particular if Hashem Yisborach will arrange again that there will be a dedicated messenger to there. And for now he will write briefly to Lvov. And what you wrote — to write to Rabbi Chayyim how to conduct himself regarding his letters — his mind is not settled now as to how to write to him just now. He is confident in Hashem that certainly no stumbling will occur through him — and in particular since Rabbi Yaakov Hirtz is also our friend. And now you will rejoice and be glad in the immensity of your portion in such a merit of the many — forever. Lechu chezu mif'alos Hashem — g'dolim ma'asei Hashem — "Come and see the works of Hashem — great are the deeds of Hashem" — beyond reckoning and without number — "mi y'malel g'voros Hashem" — "who can tell the mighty deeds of Hashem."

The words of your father — who is very urgent — writing in great haste and with great joy — and awaiting such salvations — one after another — until His right hand passes the darkness from before their eyes — and then the eyes of all will see wonders.

Nussun of Breslov.

And great peace to all our anshei sh'lomaynu with great love — and may Hashem the Good guard us in His chesed and complete all for good — un taki fort ash'reinu — and truly — in all this — only joy.

Overview: Monday, Parshas Sh'mos — Teplik — on the road to Uman — 5601. To his beloved son. He received his letter at this hour — just before Shacharis. He is preoccupied to pray and to go to the mikveh — for the time of prayer has already arrived. And meanwhile the courier came here with his letter and with the proof sheet — for which his eyes had longed and yearned to merit to see it. And the immensity of his joy and the comfort of spirit that he made for him — in what he hastened himself to inform him — you can understand yourself. But it is impossible to extend now — for he is preoccupied to pray. He interrupted his letter and prayed Shacharis — and has still not yet put on the tefillin of Rabbeinu Tam. For now he cannot extend at all — if Hashem wills from Uman he will write more explained. And what he wrote — to write to Rabbi Chayyim how to conduct himself regarding his letters — his mind is not settled now. He is confident in Hashem that certainly no stumbling will occur through him — and in particular since Rabbi Yaakov Hirtz is also their friend. And now — rejoice and be glad in the immensity of your portion in such a merit of the many — forever. Lechu chezu mif'alos Hashem — g'dolim ma'asei Hashem — beyond reckoning and without number. The words of your father — who is very urgent — writing in great haste and with great joy — and awaiting such salvations — one after another — until His right hand passes the darkness from before their eyes — and then the eyes of all will see wonders. And truly — in all this — only joy.
