Haraha"g vavac"h iy"a ish rav pe'alim Yehoshua Shpetman

After the break, your letter was received along with the enclosed pan to be read at an auspicious time at the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe zatzukal l'h nbg"m zya"a.

I was pleased to read that also the situation in England and Europe in general demonstrates the greatest benefit in spreading Divrei Elokim Chaim (Chassidus) even in Yiddish. Enclosed separately is Tanya Part I which was published in Yiddish for your honor. Also enclosed is a transcript of one of the talks given to young Jewish children (aged five and six), containing fundamental ideas from the teachings of Chassidus and the inner dimension of Torah. However, our holy Rebbeim clothed these foundations in words understandable even to small children, while still encompassing the entire concept. For tzaddikim are similar to their Creator, as is known from the parable in Midrash about large and small mirrors explaining the contraction of Ein Sof Baruch Hu; this very example shows that everything seen in large mirrors is also seen in small ones—nothing is missing. The same applies here and in similar matters.

May it be G‑d's will that knowledge increase among Israel and that we merit speedily in our days to the fulfillment of the prophecy: 'For they shall all know Me, from their smallest to their greatest.'

With honor and blessing for good news.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that Chassidus should be shared with everyone—regardless of language or age—and that even profound ideas can be made accessible without losing depth. This approach increases knowledge among all Jews and brings us closer to universal awareness of G‑d.
