B"H, 28th of Marcheshvan, 5715. Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter from the 28th of Cheshvan. Here too I did not find an answer as to why all this time neither you nor your wife have refreshed yourselves.

And since we do not cry over the past, my intention here is only to correct matters so that you remove the causes—or more accurately, the concealments and obscurations—that led to the above.

And from now on, remember that you have merited to be a student in the yeshiva of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe zatzal, and therefore within you are also invested powers of tzaddikim that endure forever. You must utilize these powers according to the intent of our holy Nasi zatzal: namely, spreading 'Ner Mitzvah v'Torah Or' (the candle of mitzvah and light of Torah) and especially 'the luminary within Torah,' which is Toras HaChassidus—its conduct and guidance—firstly in your own home and also in a broader sense: throughout your environment, especially in the synagogue where you pray.

It is also understood that your wife should act in these matters as is fitting for a chassidic daughter and wife of a tamim (a yeshiva student).

May Hashem grant you success in fulfilling this mission.

With blessings for good news in all the above.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that one must use their chassidic education and inner strengths not only for personal growth but also to positively influence their family and community. Both husband and wife are encouraged to embody chassidic values in all aspects of life.
