B"H, 9 Tammuz 5708.

Haraha"g vaharaha"ch vavac"h iy"a nu"m etc. Avraham Aharon Axelrod

Shalom u'Vrachah!

Your letter, together with your aunt's donation, was received properly. As you suggested, a letter of thanks and blessing has already been sent to her, etc. And "the wine belongs to the owner, but the thanks go to the server" (as explained in Sefer Taamei HaMitzvos by tzt"z, mitzvah of Milah ch. 3), especially since it was like "Batri Ivri Nahara" (one who crossed the river last), making it clear that the merit of the many depends on your honor. This should certainly strengthen your heart that you can accomplish even more; it is only that your power lacks action.

I heard that also regarding our friend Haraha"ch etc., Reb Moshe HaKohen, things concluded well; here too, the merit of the mitzvah is yours, and one mitzvah brings another.

Enclosed is a booklet for the Festival of Redemption; without doubt you will use it to benefit the many.

Signing with wishes for all good things,
Rabbi Menachem Schneerson

Summary
