LETTER FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVENTY

With the help of Hashem Yisborach · Sunday, Parshas Tavo — Uman · Year 5604 (1844)

ToGreat peace and life and a good writing and sealing — to my beloved son — my dear one — the rabbinical scholar — and so forth — our Teacher the Rabbi Yitzchok — may he live — with all the other members of his household — may they live.

He arrived here to Uman in peace — on the eve of the past holy Shabbas. And he found his letter — written at great length — about the matter of the match. And immediately he wrote a letter to Tshehrin — via his cart driver who came with him from there — and informed them — that it is impossible to bring your daughter — may she live — there. And the right is with you — as he spoke with them face to face there. And even if even you yourself would want to nullify your will — it is impossible to nullify the will of your wife and his relatives — and so forth. And presumably you have already written to them as befitting. And now we need only to stand and see the salvation of Hashem — how the matter will fall.

And he was very displeased with him — my beloved son — for making such a commotion — and forcing the hour — and being pained so much over a matter hidden from the eye. For nothing is as hidden from a person as the matters of matches. Therefore — even if the match were with the unique individual of his generation — in wealth and lineage — one should not force the hour. For who knows the end of the matter? Therefore one should not force the hour — only rely on Hashem. And if the matter has come from Hashem — it will be completed well — immediately or afterwards. And the word of our G-d will stand forever.

And also today he received his letter — in the matter of the match. And he has already replied to him as befitting. And there is no leisure at all to extend — because of the great urgency of the bearer of this letter.

The words of the writer in haste — who awaits salvation.

Nussun of Breslov.
