Mechutan haVavac"h iy"a nu"n beneshek Mohr Shmuel Aba Shapira

Shalom u'Vrachah!

After your long silence, I was pleased to receive your letter, especially since I was concerned about your health. Thank you for your good news that things have already improved; may it be G‑d's will that from now on you will only share good tidings, with G‑d's help.

I read with interest the article about the Torah scroll of inheritance that you enclosed with your letter. Surely you know how much my father-in-law, the Rebbe—may the memory of the righteous and holy be a blessing—was interested in recording memories of days gone by. Often these recollections awaken and enliven—even "beleben"—our daily lives. Surely you have more notes of memories, especially regarding this golden lineage from the righteous Reb Pinchas of Karitz to the brothers of Slavuta. How good it would be if these too were published! Who is like our confused generation that needs a fitting example of self-sacrifice for everything holy to Yisrael Saba—the foundation and mainstay of our existence.

Enclosed is what was published in connection with today—the yahrzeit—with additions—which will surely interest you.

With blessings for health and good news, and with respect,

Summary

The Rebbe highlights the power of sharing personal and communal memories to inspire daily life and strengthen dedication to holiness. He encourages documenting and publishing such recollections as a source of guidance and inspiration for future generations.
