Today I received the blessing of your warm heart together with a cheque in the amount of… Many thanks, gratitude upon gratitude to you!… Hashem… and my heart rejoiced…

May my heart be gladdened and my soul exult over you… the salvation of your soul. In the salvation of Hashem and His great kindness that He performed with you — wonders of wonders like these — that you bound yourself in bonds upon bonds of powerful and immense love without end and without limit — to the true Tzadik and his truly worthy and genuine people of this generation. Which is the essential source of our vitality and our hope in this generation. Charity is a very, very great mitzvah — and it is equal in weight to the entire Torah and all the commandments. And through it all illumination and all perfection and all joy is found (kol nihiru v'kol shlimu v'kol chidu ishtakach — all kinds of light and all kinds of perfection and all kinds of joy are found). And all the judgments are sweetened and nullified — and great kindnesses are drawn down, the aspect of charity and kindness.

Every physical and coarse thing — when it stands before a spiritual thing — makes a shadow! The people of truth of the Tzadik — they truly love one another. And the world is worthy to be astounded at the love between us — which many great waters cannot extinguish!
