Haraha"g haraha"ch iy"a nu"n oseik b'tzt"z Aleksandr Sender

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter from the end of Menachem Av, as well as the regards I received through Haraha"g etc. Shtentzel.

Regarding your question about what I wrote concerning activities in the environment: It is well known that my father-in-law, the Rebbe, of blessed memory, would say in such matters that it should be done "with all interpretations." Surely, when you reflect on this, you will find additional ways to act beyond those you listed—and I had those in mind as well. There is not enough space to detail everything that can be done, especially in our generation—when "behold, He stands behind our wall," and we clearly see that unprecedented success is being granted. Even though we also see a great concealment and obscuring when there is a lack of action and failure to utilize the success and opportunities given from Above...

As for what you wrote about Anash and the Temimim uniting in a brotherhood association: Although it is unnecessary to elaborate on how important this is—our predecessors have already cried out about it. What more do we need than the words "Arm yourselves," beginning with the Alter Rebbe up to my father-in-law, the Rebbe—and there is no need for my own addition. But it is also obvious that anyone who ties daily activities to the realization of such an association is merely mocking the needy—if not worse—meaning they wish to nullify these activities from their very foundation. For bringing such an association into reality may only happen after ages upon ages.

As you requested, I will mention all those you wrote about at the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, of blessed memory, for whatever they need as you described. May Hashem grant you merit and success to share good news regarding all of the above and be inscribed and sealed for a good and sweet year.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches us to influence our surroundings using every possible approach and not limit ourselves by waiting for ideal circumstances or perfect unity. Instead, we must act creatively and proactively with whatever opportunities are available now.
