Letter 290

The essential path to teshuvah — is to know and to believe that Hashem Yisburach is in every place and at every level. Even in all the impurities and the filths. In the aspect of "If I make my bed in the netherworld — behold You are there" [Psalms 139:8]. Even in the very ultimate of the descent and the distancing — below which there is no lower — even upon them has His mercy reached in this generation — to arouse them and to awaken them — to support them and to uphold them — to heal them and to cure them — to give them life and to gladden them.

Hope to Hashem — and He will save you in all your matters. Do not forget — that praise be to G-d — you have already been at Rosh Hashana within such a holy gathering. And praise be to G-d — you have already merited to taste somewhat from the sweet nectar of his pleasant words — that give life to the soul forever. Rejoice greatly in your good portion — that praise be to G-d — you have already merited to taste, etc. Blessed is Hashem — blessed is Hashem — for His mercies do not cease.
