Shalom u'Vrachah!

Thank you very much for your letter from Friday, 6 Elul, in which you write—albeit very briefly—about your wedding that took place at a good and auspicious time. May it be G‑d's will that this be a good beginning for building a Chassidic home in accordance with the wishes of our holy Rebbeim and Nesi'im. Your sacred work with the students of the Mechina of Yeshivas Toras Emes will also bring increased blessing and success in this regard. May you have only good news to report about all the above.

With blessings for being inscribed and sealed for good,

M. Schneersohn

P.S. Your letter from 25 Tammuz was received in its time, even though for some reason it was not confirmed until now.

I am surprised by what you wrote about reviewing a "section" from the maamar Lecha Dodi—what does "section" mean? Especially since regarding this matter it is explained about this maamar, and it was also discussed at length during the farbrengen on Shavuos in previous years, where teachings from all our holy Rebbeim and Nesi'im are found. If only part of the maamar is reviewed, then the one reviewing does not know what is included or not, etc. I am sending you my letter quickly and urgently so that at least within the month of your wedding you will review the entire maamar again. Publicize and encourage all those in a similar situation that at least from now on they should do as required...

Summary

The Rebbe encourages building a Chassidic home and stresses that maamarim should be reviewed completely rather than in parts. He urges sharing this approach with others to ensure proper study and spiritual growth.
