LETTER THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOUR
Blessed be Hashem  ·  13th of Nissan — Breslov  ·  Year 5602 (1842)
ToMy beloved son — my dear one — peace to you and to your household.

He received his letter — with the enclosed letter and also the grapevine wine. He hopes to Hashem — that he will drink the four cups from your wine — with Hashem's help. And what he did not write to him about his son who began *Chumash* — it was because of preoccupation. And he requests from him from now — and also warns him on this — that he should not multiply scrutinizing such matters — for they confuse you for nothing. And there is very much to speak of this — but it is impossible just now. And when you come here — one does not know what to speak of first — and he put a little in the mouth of the bearer of this letter. And may Hashem Yisborach give you and us a *kasher Pesach* — *nagila v'nismecha bo.*

The words of your father — who intercedes for you.

Nussun of Breslov.

And he also just now — in the midst of great preoccupation — almost forgot the essential — to remind you anew that your son — may he live — began Chumash from Parshas Vayikra — which is the alef z'eira — the small alef — said immediately after the erection of the Mishkan. And this happens in every generation — through the true tzaddikim — who build a Mishkan from the good points found in the most wretched of the wretched — even in the sinners of Israel — and so forth. From which the children of the school receive the breath of their mouths which has no sin — and so forth — which is the Torah Azam'rah. And all this you must return every day — and also he himself gives himself life only through this and the like — and in particular in the matter of the conduct of the holy gathering. And in particular now as they are engaging in reading these portions of Vayikra — and saying every day at the beginning of Nissan the inauguration of the altar by the princes — and concluding with the portion of the Menorah — which informs and illuminates to each person that "m'lo kol ha'aretz k'vodo" — "the whole earth is full of His glory" — and so forth and so forth. How great are the chasadim of Hashem — how deep are His thoughts — that we merited in this generation to know from such vitality and restorer of souls as this. More than this there is no leisure to extend. Un taki fort hop — un nor hop — un vider hop — and truly — in all this — joy — and only joy — and joy yet again. And in the language of the Chasidim of the Imperial province — tchak tchak!
