ברוקלין.

שלום וברכה!

... בנוגע להמאורע דהס"ת - הרי הייתה בנרתקה. ובכ"ז יתענו הרואים עוד ד' חצאי ימים והת' עוד חצי יום. ויזהרו כל שנה זו בשמו"ת[1] ופרנק א' לצדקת ת"ת בכ"י מימות החול. ויאריכו יוש"ט.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

... Regarding the event of the Sefer Torah—it was in its case. Nevertheless, those who saw it should fast another four half-days, and the student an additional half-day. Throughout this year, everyone should be careful with Shnayim Mikra V'Echad Targum (reading each Torah portion twice in Hebrew and once in translation) and give a franc for Tzedakah for Talmud Torah from weekday money. May you all have extended Yom Tov.


Summary

The Rebbe gives guidance following an incident with a Sefer Torah: those involved should observe specific fasts, increase care in weekly Torah reading with translation, and give charity regularly throughout the year.
