83 —שליחת שליח, חיזוק השפעה יהודית, במחנה ישראל

B"H, Monday, 9th of the month of Tammuz, 5703.

To our esteemed and elevated friend, vavac"h iy"a etc. Rabbi Avraham Tarshish.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

The Rebbe shlita has given us your request that "Machane Yisrael" should send a shaliach (emissary) to your camp in order to strengthen the influence on your students to travel to yeshiva.

Accordingly, we ask you to inform us: a) If you find it more appropriate for the shaliach to come now, or if it is better at the end of the summer, close to the start of the winter session in yeshivas. b) If it will suffice for the shaliach to come only for Shabbat.

We are also interested in knowing about your activities in the field of "Machane Yisrael." Even though during the summer you are extremely busy, nevertheless you can surely use moments when you meet many people whom you do not see during winter days, to inspire them regarding matters that strengthen Judaism. Even a few words that come from the heart and enter — therefore — into the heart have a great effect with G‑d's help, and sooner or later one can see good fruits...

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that even brief heartfelt efforts to inspire others toward strengthening Judaism can have lasting impact. He encourages making use of every opportunity—especially during times when one meets many people—to positively influence and uplift them.
