The Rav and Chassid, a G‑d-fearing man, distinguished and honored, engaged in communal affairs, Reb Nisan [Horowitz], may he live

Greetings and blessing!

Your letter from before Rosh HaShanah was received in its time, but the time was not suited to answering it until now, and surely in the meantime you have received my letter with the blessing for the year.

I enjoyed what you wrote about the farbrengen and the words of inspiration spoken there. Surely you made use of the days of the month of Tishrei, the month which comprises the entire year and which, in the words of our Sages, is מושבע בכל טוב, "sated with every good" (cf. Vayikra Rabbah 29:8), to strengthen this awakening and add to it. The main thing is that it should then be carried over into the whole year. And although every single day עביד עבידתי', "performs its own work" (Zohar III 94b), in this too, as explained in Likkutei Torah at the end of Parshas Korach on the difference between the judgment of Rosh HaShanah and that of every day, it is understood that first and foremost this must be done on Rosh HaShanah and in the head month of the year, the month of Tishrei. And "the merit of the many" (cf. Avos 5:18) assists all those who are engaged in this.

I conclude in the words of the Rav (Rebbe), my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe, of saintly memory, whose soul is in the hidden treasuries on high, may his merit protect us: צו א געזונטען ווינטער, "to a healthy winter," for you and your wife, may she live, and for success in all the above.
