LETTER FOUR HUNDRED AND FORTY-NINE

Blessed be Hashem · Sunday, Parshas Tissa — Year 5604 (1844)

ToSasson v'simcha yassigu — my beloved son — my dear one — the rabbinical scholar — our Teacher the Rabbi Yitzchok — may he live — with all his precious descendants — may they live.

The bearer of this letter came to his home and brought the overcoat. And it was a great comfort to him — for he needed it greatly — as the bearer of this letter will relate to you. And there is much to write to him. But the time of Minchah has arrived — and the bearer of this letter is very urgent. And he placed everything in his mouth — both the matter of his traveling here for Shabbas — and the matter of his traveling to the wedding. For according to the custom of the world — and in particular the custom of the holy Israel — certainly he is obligated to be at the wedding — a good mazal. In particular since there will certainly be several of our anshei sh'lomaynu who are not blood relations with him — only because of the closeness of our souls — and so forth. All the more so you my son — is there anyone closer than you. But even so — his desire is not to pain you — if G-d forbid it is impossible — for force majeure exempts. But all that is possible — strive with all your strength — and request from Hashem Yisborach that you merit to be at the wedding — a good mazal — and to rejoice with them together. Certainly it is obligatory upon you to strive in this as above. And perhaps through our common joy together in the joy of the groom and bride — it will sprout for you and for us complete salvation — in all that we need to be saved. And to Hashem the salvation.

And may Hashem Yisborach save you and make you successful in all that you turn to — and the essential is the success of the soul. And may you merit there and us here — to rejoice in the joy of Purim coming upon us for good. And beforehand — to cry out and pray properly — tomorrow — if Hashem wills — on Ta'anis Esther — until we merit that it be fulfilled: "ka'asoscha nora'os b'osan ha'yamim af itanu hafle t'shu'as olamim" — as You did awesome things in those days — do wondrous salvation for us too — and so forth. And because of the great urgency it is impossible to extend at all.

The words of your father — who awaits to see you with joy — with his son my grandson Dovid Tzvi — may he live — nagila v'nismecha bishu'aso.

Nussun of Breslov.
