B"H, 1 Menachem Av, 5712. Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I received his pidyon nefesh on behalf of himself and his family members may they live, in which he requests some protection for his wife and son may they live. I am writing this in Yiddish so that you can read it as is to your wife tichyeh.

Your husband writes to me that you are not feeling well in health, are anxious, and also that you had a dream—that you should ask me for protection: The protection is this: you should have the mezuzos of your house checked to ensure they are all kosher. Every Friday afternoon before Shabbos and before Yom Tov, before lighting candles, give eighteen cents to tzedakah for the funds of Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes. Also your husband should say every day in the morning after davening one day’s portion of Tehillim—as Tehillim is divided by the days of the month—and your husband and your son should wear a tallis katan. It is certainly unnecessary to emphasize that the home should be strictly kosher and conducted in every way as a Jewish home should be conducted. Most importantly: be strong in bitachon (trust) in Hashem Yisborach (the Blessed One), Who—blessed is He—is the Creator of the world and runs it; so too He—blessed is He—runs the life of every individual person. He—blessed is He—will protect you, your husband and son may they live; you have nothing to worry about regarding this. The more you strengthen your bitachon in this matter, the more clearly you will see that Hashem Yisborach helps you—especially regarding your health which will improve—and also the health of your son Avraham Ozer may he live. I hope that you and your husband may they live will be able to inform me of good news regarding this.

Your donation has been transferred to the fund which assists the chederim (elementary schools), yeshivos and Talmud Torahs "Oholei Yosef Yitzchak" in the name of my father-in-law the holy Rebbe zatzal nishmaso Eden zechuso yagen aleinu amen—and this should serve as a channel and vessel to draw down additional blessing and success for all of you in whatever you need.

Awaiting good news.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that combining practical mitzvos with strong trust in Hashem brings both physical and spiritual well-being. By following these steps with faith, one can expect improvement in health and positive outcomes for oneself and family.
