Letter 365

[This letter opens mid-sentence in the source text.]

…He glories in him and takes pride in him — and has loved him with great fondness. And has given him the crown of wisdom — the crown of kingship — upon his head. And has made him king over Israel. In order that he have mercy upon them — and strive with great many stratagems and immense labors with all his strength — to bring about a match and to join Israel with the truly wise leader — the Nachal Noavaya — the new light. Who is able to take them out from the very deep and most awesome descent — and to elevate them to the ultimate of the most supernal ascent. And to illuminate in their hearts the light of G-dliness — in a great and most exalted revelation — the like of which has never existed since the day the world was created. The like of which has never existed.

Know, my brother — that it was not for nothing that Hashem chose you — to bring you close first — to our awesome Rabbainu — the Nachal Noavaya. And to inform you of the secret of the awesomeness of his greatness — sealed and closed off from all the worlds — hidden from all eyes. Rather — it is because of the immensity of the loftiness of your most exalted soul. And therefore — be strong and courageous in your heart. And rejoice — always rejoice — with a joy without end. That you have merited to be in his portion.
