Shalom u'Vrachah!

I acknowledge receipt of your letter from the 26th of Sivan, and thank you very much for the good news and report about reviewing Chassidic discourses in synagogues.

Regarding what you wrote about speaking with Haraha"ch R. Moshe Weber to prepare suitable students from Toras Emes for the above matter, it is surprising that you write it has not yet been carried out... Even though the original idea was that all students from the upper classes of Toras Emes would review Chassidus every Shabbos, it is understood that this does not necessarily have to be in the yeshivah building. On the contrary, they should be accustomed to public settings, which is facilitated by reviewing in synagogues and similar places. Certainly you will speak again with those involved and find clear words until this is accomplished.

Regarding ... who finds it very difficult to arrange a shidduch, surely it is not more difficult than Kriyas Yam Suf (the splitting of the sea), and our Sages said this applies to every shidduch. At the same time, they commanded us regarding this matter, and a command of Torah is also an empowerment. As discussed many times in Chassidus: the language of commandments also implies a promise.

Certainly appropriate plans are being prepared for the celebration of Yud-Beis and Yud-Gimmel Tammuz that are approaching, especially as this year marks thirty years since the first redemption day.

With blessings for the Festival of Redemption and for good news.

Summary

The Rebbe encourages persistence both in communal Chassidus activities and personal matters like shidduchim, reminding us that Torah's commands come with G‑dly empowerment. He stresses celebrating moments of redemption with proper preparation and joy.
