My heart and my flesh will sing to Hashem with thanksgiving and song — with great joy and immense and great delight — for the greatness of the awesomeness of His kindness and His immense wonders — that He performed wondrously and did with me. That He gave me a crown of grace of truth and a true love and great mercy in his warm heart — to stand by me and to fight for me with self-sacrifice — a strong and difficult battle — that I should have a holy sanctuary to serve in it with holy service: Torah and prayer and hisbodidus and conversation between me and my Maker. Certainly he has a great portion in all the good deeds I merit to engage in in this holy house. Who can express it! Who can express and explain the immensity of the greatness of the value of this pleasant and beloved mitzvah — immense beyond all measure and worth! Be strong and courageous with all your strength to hold yourself to the true Tzadik — the Nachal Noavaya — who is your life and the length of your days in this world and the next. How good is your portion and how pleasant is your lot in this world and the World to Come. And I shall also rejoice and exult with all my heart to bring him the good tidings — for the Chief Rabbi of Tiberius, Rabbi Meir, has given a beautiful room — the most beautiful and pleasant of all the rooms of the yeshiva — as a gift for all the days of my life — upon the holy burial site of Rabbi Meir Ba'al HaNess.

…And gave his life for me — to stand by me and to fight the strong and difficult battle that I had. Had you come into the world only for this — it would have been sufficient! Who can estimate what wondrous pleasures are made from this in all the worlds. Fortunate are we that we have merited to such a good gift — hidden and concealed from the entire world. This matter — for it alone… has made a great noise throughout the entire city of Tiberius. And all tell of it and are astounded by this wondrous matter beyond all measure. Who can express and praise… For he alone can repair them and elevate them all from all the descents and the darknesses in the world — and repair them in perfection — so that all will know Hashem, even the nations of the world — and serve Him in truth with all their hearts. I give thanks to his lofty honor from the very depths of my heart — for this and for all the goodnesses and the kindnesses he bestows upon me with all his strength — every time at every moment. May Hashem recompense his good deed — and it was for me a great satisfaction and great joy. So may He continue and continue to magnify His good toward me and toward all the souls of Israel — to have mercy upon them — to make known to them the secret of the greatness of the awesomeness of the Nachal Noavaya — who is the entire essential source of their vitality and their hope and their repair.
