Havavach iy"a nu"n etc. Yehuda Glik

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter and pidyon nefesh from the tenth of Sivan. At an auspicious time I will mention you and your family at the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, of blessed memory, for all that you need, in accordance with the content of your letter.

I was pleased to read at the end of your letter that you study Chassidus from time to time, and my strong hope is that from now on your study will be regular—and may it be not only regular in time but also ingrained in your soul. The goal is that this learning should be felt throughout the entire day by adding light and vitality to Torah and mitzvos, and generally to all matters of a person—about all of which it is said: "In all your ways know Him," as explained at length in Hilchos Deos by the Rambam and in Tur Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim siman 231—see there.

Since you mention in your letter that you were present at a farbrengen of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, which took place at the Papenheim house in Vienna—it seems you refer to that farbrengen where my father-in-law told about his grandfather, the Rebbe Maharash's trip to Paris specifically to save and bring back one Jewish soul in teshuvah. This story is well known among chassidim. My father-in-law concluded then that from this young man who was returned through this journey came a family head whose descendants are among the most observant Jews in France.

Since everything is by Divine Providence—including your mentioning in your letter that you were present at this farbrengen—it is certainly a directive for you to energetically engage in spreading the wellsprings outward. Surely Divine Providence will provide many opportunities if only you truly desire it, and you will succeed in this outreach. It is obvious that through this there will also be an increase in Hashem's blessings for what you need for yourself and all your family members regarding those matters about which you wrote in your pidyon nefesh. I await good news.

Blessings.

P.S. Surely you know and observe the three daily study portions instituted by my father-in-law—the Rebbe—in Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya; at least from now on make sure to keep them.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that consistent study of Chassidus should permeate one's entire life with added light and vitality. He encourages active outreach efforts, assuring that sincere involvement brings both spiritual growth and tangible blessings for oneself and one's family.
