5745 —חיזוק נשי ובנות חב"ד והרחבת פעולותיהן

B"H, 17 Elul, 5717. Brooklyn.

Neshei U'Bnos Chabad Association, Branch: ^[1] May Hashem grant them life. Shalom u'Vrachah!

I was pleased to receive, finally, a brief overview regarding your work in the past, and I hope that more has been done than what was written. Most importantly, in the future the work should be expanded in every possible way.

I also hope—though you did not mention it—that among the subjects being studied are also the laws and regulations of family purity, with married women or brides preparing for marriage, as well as the laws connected to kashrus of food items. The latter can also be taught to girls. As far as I recall, these laws are included together in the Siddur Korban Minchah; hopefully some of the women have such a siddur, and if not it will be sent to you.

And since we now find ourselves in the month of Elul—which, as explained at length by my revered father-in-law the Rebbe, is the month of soul-accounting for the outgoing year and also a good preparation for the coming year so that it will be a good and sweet year both materially and spiritually—the accounting and preparation must also include participation from every member of Neshei U'Bnos Chabad from each branch. There should also be a firm resolution to do even more in this area in the coming days, weeks, and months.

May Hashem Yisbarach help that in good health and with a positive spirit all good resolutions will be fulfilled to their fullest extent—and even with an increase.

With blessings for good news regarding all of the above and for a kesivah vachasimah tovah to each member along with their families.

Summary

The Rebbe encourages Neshei U'Bnos Chabad to expand their activities, especially in teaching family purity and kashrus laws. He emphasizes communal participation and spiritual preparation during Elul for a blessed new year.
