Shalom u'Vrachah!

After your long silence, your letter was received—without indication of when it was written—and I was pleased to read about establishing a regular session for the study of Chassidus, and that some yeshiva students have joined as well. Although it is clear that their number is not as it should be, I still hope that you and the Anash in your area will strive further in this. After all, an Avrech or yeshiva student is not yet involved in matters of the world of falsehood, so it is even more important to instill in him a spirit of awe of Heaven and love for the Blessed One. The way to achieve this is through studying the teachings of Chassidus and following its guidance and customs, as is well known.

At an auspicious time, I will mention all those you write about at the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe zatzal.

With blessing.

P.S. Certainly you are preparing an appropriate program to properly utilize the upcoming luminous days of Yud and Yud-Tes Kislev and Chanukah, may they come upon us for good.

Summary

The Rebbe encourages strengthening Chassidus study among yeshiva students and emphasizes its role in cultivating awe and love of G‑d. He also urges preparation for significant upcoming dates on the Chabad calendar.
