5169 —הכרה ותמיכה בתרומות מעמד

B"H, 28 Shevat 5717. Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I hereby acknowledge receipt of the lists from the maamad members along with the attached check. Since you do not write anything about your situation, I assume this is a sign that all is well.

You have surely heard the story of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, of blessed memory, which was mentioned several times during the farbrengen: that one who is involved in tzt"z (good deeds) should also ensure that communal needs are met by having the fund bear the expenses related to this work. Since you have been faithfully engaged in the maamad matter for some time now, based on the above story it is proper and good—as mentioned—that the fund should allocate compensation, etc., at about a quarter share starting from this list you sent; that is, from Teves of this year (5716), and an attached check is enclosed.

May it be G‑d's will that you should utilize this in good health and joy for healthy and joyful matters.

With abundant success and may you soon achieve good organization.

P.S. Surely you made use of Yud Shevat, the recent yahrzeit, both regarding yourself and those influenced by you. May its impact be felt throughout the coming year for good.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that those who serve communal needs with dedication deserve financial support from communal funds. He encourages continued faithful work with blessings for health, joy, and ongoing positive influence throughout the year.
