He received his letter on the past Friday — with the sum of thirty silver rubles. May Hashem repay your work — and may your reward be complete — for what you toiled for him — and for such a holy work — and the merit of the many forever. So may you merit to strive and to endeavor more and more at every time — in deed and in word — and more than all — with strong will and great longings — to long for the general good — in a way that you have a great portion in our work — to spread his springs outward — to illuminate the light of truth — which is the light of the pure Menorah — the holy light of Chanukah — which is approaching upon us and upon all Israel. Our eyes are lifted to Hashem — shlaich or'cha va'amis'cha — and those who hope to Hashem will renew their strength. And He Who has the power and the dominion — will give strength to the weary — and to those without strength — He will greatly increase power — to begin and to complete all our days — this heavenly work — the merit of the many.

Hashem Yisborach knows his intention for good — and certainly he is not erring — G-d forbid — in this at all — in what he longs for all this. But the strength of bearing has weakened — and the days of old age and grey hairs are approaching — and the truth is very much absent — and even his dear precious anshei sh'lomaynu — the generous ones of the people of Hashem — who tremble at His word and contribute as befitting — may Hashem repay their reward — but even they still do not know what is in his heart in this — all the more so what he sees from afar. Therefore now — you — blessed be Hashem — upon you and upon each and every one of you who hold to our love — and to the love of the truth of the eternal one — our Master our Teacher and our Rebbe — his merit shall protect us — to long and to yearn at every time for all the above — and to bring out the longings in the mouth. And incidentally through this you will be able to express your conversation on your deficiencies — in body and soul and money — and Hashem will save you. And to strive in this with all your strength. And in the open field it is impossible to explain more.

And behold — also he greatly longs to see your face with joy — but the road between them is great. And behold — just now all his occupation is in the Torah — "nine heichalos that are not lights" — and the essential — that he and all of them merit to fulfil what is written there — that the essential is the joy of the mitzvah — through which one clarifies from the heichalos of the exchanges — and goes and rises and receives the blessing of the intellect and the arranger and the settler — with the drawing of faith to the minds and the arranger — until the minds strike in the pargod — and the nine heichalos are made. Ashrei mi she'yirdof machshavto l'hasig ha'sagos eileh. Ashreinu — ashreinu — a thousand thousands and ten thousand ten thousands of times at every time and moment — that we merited to hear and to see in a book such things. And how greatly the world was tottering — until in His compassion — a holy and divine one descended from Heaven — to reveal in his holiness these things — even though they are not understood — even so it is the sprouting of the horn of salvation — what the divine Tanna Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai — of blessed memory — revealed — things that were not revealed from the days of Moshe our Teacher — as written in the holy Zohar. And afterwards still how greatly the world was tottering — until we merited in this generation to hear from the flowing stream — the source of wisdom — the holy and awesome counsels — to merit to this through doing the mitzvah with joy. And praised be G-d — in His wondrous chesed — Hashem already helped them to explain and to make new in this — wondrously — through the power of the holy elder. But still they need salvation and great mercies to fulfil them and to do the mitzvos with joy — to merit to all that is written there. But this is his consolation in his poverty — that he knows in any case from this — and he is not an opponent — G-d forbid — against such an awesome and wondrous truth. And also in his heart he greatly rejoices in this — that one as lowly as him merits in another moment to wrap himself in tzitzis in a large tallis and a small tallis — and to put on tefillin — the crowns of the King — and to say the entire order of prayer — the morning blessings and the sacrifices and the verses of song and the Shema and the prayer and Ashrei and Ba L'Tziyon — and perhaps he will merit to say some true words within them — that will illuminate for him through his great power. And may he merit to see the openings — to fulfil: "tachtiyim sh'niyim u'sh'lishiyim ta'aseh — atya v'nimhaya di avad imana Elaka sh'maya — ha'nishma kazos o ha'nir'ah kamohu."

And also known to you my dear friend — that the days of the wedding of his son Nachman — may he live — are approaching. Therefore strive also in this — with your wisdom — to speak with whoever you know to speak — to help him with the expenses of the needs of the wedding — a good mazal. And also speak with his mother-in-law — the wife of the wealthy man Rabbi Yaakov Yeravska — that she give as befitting. And in any case send the drasha-gishank. For also in this one must strive — that there be in any case a drasha-gishank as befitting — as is the custom now. In particular since you know what passed over his father-in-law — may his light shine — Hashem save him completely quickly — in any case he cannot settle as befitting — and because of this the burden is heavier upon him more. And also one needs in any case that the drasha-gishank be multiplied. And also the needs of the wedding are very many — and the needs of his livelihood — for dependents hang upon him — and the poor of our anshei sh'lomaynu come and go — may Hashem have mercy. And there is no need to extend in this — for from himself he will hurry in this. And the first that reaches you — send to him — both for the work and for all the above. And may the Good Hashem complete all for good quickly. And the light of morning is breaking — and your healing will quickly sprout.

And the time of prayer is approaching — and it is impossible to extend more. Yomam y'tzaveh Hashem chasdo — v'chimei inisanu y'samcheinu — and in His wondrous chesed may it be fulfilled: "chadashim la'b'karim rabbah emunasecha." And look at what is written in Midrash Rabbah on this parashah on the verse "ki alah ha'shachar" — look there — this verse: chadashim — through Your renewing us every morning and Your renewing us in the morning of kingdoms — rabbah emunasecha to redeem us. And there is much to speak of this to gladden our souls — in all the chasadim that He already did with us — to draw us close and to give us a taste of the splendor of the pleasantness of such Torahs — and to be confident that He will not abandon His chesed from us — and like a father with a son He will have mercy upon us and gladden us in His salvation forever. And if Hashem wills — the vision is still for its appointed time.
