Haraha"ch iy"a nu"n oseik b'tzt"z Mohe Nisan

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I acknowledge receipt of your letter from the 16th of Iyar ^[1], and certainly everyone will continue speaking with the mohalim about the matter you wrote about with the greatest enthusiasm, since it is a communal matter—meaning a mitzvah that affects the entire stature of a person, both spiritually and physically (see also Shulchan Aruch by our Rebbe the Alter Rebbe, second edition at the end; see also Likutei Torah and in the Siddur regarding Birkat HaMazon where there must be mention of brit). My strong hope is that if this matter does not become an issue of stubbornness etc. from the other side, you will succeed in correcting this most important issue.

Certainly, even though you do not mention it explicitly, preparations are being made in advance regarding the upcoming vacation days with G‑d's help. May it be His will that the expansion of activities through renting large houses as you write about etc. will broaden the channels from Above and the vessels below with true expansion that nullifies all concealments and obstacles. May you be successful emissaries to increase Torah (both its revealed and inner dimensions) and to glorify it, with proper health, joy, and gladness of heart.

With blessing in the wording of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe: to receive the Torah with joy and inwardness.

Summary

The Rebbe urges ongoing communal effort for a mitzvah impacting all aspects of life, highlighting unity and preparation. He prays for expanded success in Torah activities with health and happiness.
