The Sacred Letters of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov and Reb Nussun of Breslov, of blessed memory

LETTER FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX

Blessed be Hashem · Friday, Erev Shabbas Kodesh — the 41st of the counting of the children of Israel — Breslov · Year 5603 (1843)

ToPeace — to my beloved son — may he live.

Mazal Tov! His daughter — your sister — may she live — gave birth this past night to a baby boy — a good mazal. May it be His will that it be for all of us a good mazal — for joy and gladness — and complete salvation in all that each person needs to be saved — Amen so may it be His will.

May Hashem Yisborach grant him and him and all of them — that they merit in any case from now — to prepare themselves properly for the coming holy festival of Shavuos — to pour out their hearts like water before Hashem — how far we are from the holiness of Shavuos — which is a great and refined intellect — and great and simple mercies — very great mercies. Perhaps He will be entreated — that they merit in any case from now — to place all their longing and yearning and will and hope — to draw close to Him in truth — every day anew — in every place where he is. And however it passes over each person — let him seek Hashem Yisborach from there — every day — in every place where he is. For "leit re'uta tava d'is'aved" — no good will is ever lost. And let them not set gold as their foolish trust — G-d forbid. For all is vanity. And whether a person has money or not — he passes his days equally. And the essential is the good will.

And may Hashem Yisborach grant them the joy of Shavuos — and may they rejoice in the words of His Torah and His mitzvos forever and ever — for they alone are our life.

The words of your father.

Nussun of Breslov.
