1363 —ברכות לחתונת בן והדרכה לתלמידים

B"H, 23rd of Teves, 5712. Brooklyn.

Haraha"g vaharaha"ch vavac"h iy"a nu"m etc. Shlomo Grunwald

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I pleasantly received your letter from the 15th of Teves, in which you write about the request of students to be mentioned for good, especially in Torah study with awe of Heaven. Enclosed is a letter in response to them, and surely you will add explanation and clarification as you see fit; I rely on your understanding.

You write in your letter that on the 18th of Teves was (or will be) the wedding of your son, the groom Mr. Mordechai Tzvi, with his bride—may she live—and hereby I express my blessing: Mazal tov, mazal tov! May it be at a good and auspicious time, and may they build a home in Israel upon the foundations of Torah and mitzvah as explained in Chassidus. May you see much nachas—Jewish nachas, Chassidic nachas—from them.

With blessings of mazal tov, mazal tov.

P.S.: Enclosed is a copy of the general letter regarding the festival of festivals—Yud Tes Kislev—and a script as a token. Surely he is a branch from the lineage of rabbis Greenwald from Hungary; I am interested to know more details. You also write that his wife is the daughter of Rabbi Aharon Slotzky; I am interested to know about his involvement with Kabbalah and whether he has any works in print or manuscript and if it is possible to obtain copies.

What you wrote regarding "Ra'uni Ne'arim..." is only about a question and not as an answer. Also see Be'er HaGolah on Gittin 39d, Sifrei Bamidbar 112, Ketubot 25a. By the way: What you wrote in Shas "everyone knows" needs consideration from Menachot 93b; perhaps it was at different times. This requires further study.

Summary

The Rebbe offers heartfelt blessings for building a home rooted in Torah values and encourages guiding students with clarity. He shows personal interest in family heritage and scholarly pursuits, emphasizing attention to spiritual growth alongside communal connection.
