Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your Rosh Hashanah wishes: Whoever blesses is blessed with much more than the original blessing. With a signature and wishes for a good and sweet year in every way. This is a meaningful sign, especially on Rosh Hashanah (Horayos 12a). And just as the head includes all the limbs and from it flows life to all limbs—as explained at length at the beginning of Atarah in Rosh Hashanah—so too this beginning and head of the year is like when Shabbos enters: all judgments are removed and all Israel are crowned with new souls (Zohar II 135). May it be G‑d's will that all this be drawn into the entire year openly, in visible and revealed good.

With wishes for sealing and final sealing for good, and to your entire household.

M. Schneerson
