He received his letter twice — and the flour and the wine and sixty-three large ones. May Hashem Yisborach in His mercy sweeten all the judgments from upon you and from all your household — and send complete healing to your wife — may she live — and to all your household — and save you from the physicians of falsehood — and may it be fulfilled: "ki ani Hashem rof'echa" — "for I am Hashem your Healer" — Amen so may it be His will. [Sh'mos 15:26]

You gave him life with your words — in what you wrote — that you wish to begin from now — b'reishis bara — "in the beginning He created" — this is the proper measure — and this is fitting for you and for all of us. And you do not know yourself what you wrote — for it is very deep. Amok amok mi yimtza'enu — "deep deep — who can find it" — what happens in the world — and in particular with each and every person every single day — and in particular in these awesome and holy days of the month of the mighty ones — it is Tishrei — which are very very exalted and awe-inspiring — each day and each day — and in particular the end and the completion — which is this holy and awesome and very exalted day called Hoshana Rabbah. [יֶרַח הָאֵיתָנִים הוּא תִּשְׁרֵי — the month of the mighty ones — it is Tishrei — from Melachim Alef 8:2 — the Tishrei of the awesome Patriarchs — the month of the primordial eternal ones — each day more awesome than the last — and its peak and completion: Hoshana Rabbah — when the judgment of the year is sealed and sent forth] On that day — "vayashav Yitzchak vayachpor es b'eros hamayim" — "and Yitzchak returned and dug the wells of water" — which are the aspect of the deep waters — "eitah b'lev ish" — "counsel in the heart of a person" — which one digs by crying out in truth and simplicity: "mi'maamakim k'rasticha Hashem." [Bereishis 26:18; Mishlei 20:5; Tehillim 130:1] [The entire inner journey of Hoshana Rabbah — the day itself is an act of digging — digging the deep wells of the soul — calling out from the very depths — mi'maamakim — and it is specifically Yitzchak — the one bound upon the altar — the one who learned to live in the space of pure transcendence — who goes back and digs the wells that others had stopped up]

And even though — when he wrote this — a great weeping was stirred in his heart — in his remembering how greatly the materiality of a person and of the world distances one from such awesome and fearsome holy things — even so — now is not the time to weep — only the time to rejoice and to dance with a whole heart in great joy! And let everyone say ashreinu — ashreinu Yisrael — in particular since they merited to know from the one who does not remember anything at all — and who is old and nursling — and so forth — for all is vanity — and "kol dayarei ara k'la chasivin" — "all the inhabitants of the earth are as nothing" — and as it is written in the holy Zohar: "kula kamei k'la chassiv — k'la mammash" — "all before Him is as nothing — as utterly void." [He is referring to the awesome teaching of the Rebbe about the state of one who has truly attained the knowledge of Divine nothingness — who does not remember anything — who is simultaneously old and a nursling — an elder and an infant — the ancient and the newborn — one who has truly internalized that all is vanity and all created existence is as nothing before Him. Only the one who told the story of this state — the Rebbe — merited to this in completeness] And who merited to this in completeness — except the one who told the above-mentioned story. And how good is our portion — when we do not oppose the one who is truly ayin — true nothingness. And it is impossible to extend further.
