1602 —התמדה בעבודת הישיבה בין קשיים ובטחון בכ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר

B"H, 1st of Sivan, 5712.

Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I received your letter from the 25th of Iyar, and I was saddened to read that your hands have weakened regarding involvement with the yeshiva upon seeing that the number of students has decreased, and there are additional difficulties and concealments. You must look at all of this as a test from Hashem, etc. If you withstand the test, you will see good fruit from your efforts and success in a manner beyond nature within nature. Even though it is necessary to do everything required according to nature, you must know that ultimately this is an endeavor whose essence is above the natural order. Just as you saw in your educational activities when you were previously in your country, and later as you traveled—through Packing, Paris, and Brno—and therefore now too in your current country it will be so. Especially—not to give up hope and to be certain that the Frierdiker Rebbe will bring about success here as well... When you approach your activities with this mindset, the matter of the yeshiva will be elevated from time to time; things will work out very differently indeed. I await good news about this...

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that perseverance despite setbacks in holy work leads to supernatural success when combined with practical effort and unwavering trust in Hashem and the Frierdiker Rebbe's guidance.
