B"H, Eve of Pesach, 5709.

Haraha"ch vavaha"ch iy"a nu"n etc. Mehor"y

Shalom u'Vrachah!

You surely received the letter with the kuntres. I am now sending you the kuntres for Pesach that was just published, and without doubt you will merit to benefit the public with it in an appropriate way.

I will conclude with a blessing for a kosher and joyous Pesach. Just as this year's calendar arrangement is like that of the year of Yetziat Mitzrayim (Shabbat 87b), so too may the promise be fulfilled: 'KeYemei Tzeitcha Me'eretz Mitzrayim Arenu Niflaot' (As in the days when you left Egypt, I will show you wonders), and may our eyes behold it.

With regards and wishes for all good, awaiting good news from your activities for the benefit of Melamed L'Hosif Chayil and Machaneh Yisrael, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson.

Regarding your comment on what is known—that the spheres are beings with knowledge—based on what is written in Iggeret HaKodesh (108a) that in this world it is not so: this question also applies to people in this world (excluding souls before their descent). The idea, as it appears to me, is that all entities in this world—which as a whole stems from Sefirat HaMalchut—are action; and only Malchut dwells within it. It is impossible for them to comprehend more than this (see Tanya ch. 38-39 and elsewhere). That is, they can only know spiritual existence but not its essence. All the more so regarding knowledge of the spheres—it is only in this manner. See also in the enclosed kuntres chapters 13 and 20; Kuntres Yud-Tes Kislev 5708 p. 9; and elsewhere. There is no time now to elaborate.

Summary

The Rebbe encourages sharing Torah teachings widely and clarifies that both humans and celestial beings in this world can only grasp spiritual existence but not its essence—a concept rooted in Tanya and chassidic thought.
