Shalom u'Vrachah!

I was pleased to read in your letter about the possibility of your students participating in the farbrengen of the bright day of Yud-Tes Kislev. There is sufficient time from now until then for proper preparation, as you wrote in your letter. The merit of the many will help bring additional heavenly assistance to succeed in this, and perhaps there is room to include also those you have influenced in the past. According to the well-known saying regarding the effect of a chassidic gathering, it is worthwhile to invest effort and diligence in this, since it is a time of favor and an opportune moment for making an impression whose effect will be felt for several weeks and months afterward, as you have seen clearly in the past.

May it be G‑d's will that the merit of the one whose joyous day is Yud-Tes Kislev stand by everyone among us to succeed both in general matters and personal matters—which are all interconnected—and especially for those who have been granted talent for education and influence.

Blessings for good news in all the above.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that preparing students—and even former students—for Yud-Tes Kislev with Chassidus brings lasting spiritual impact. Proper preparation at this auspicious time leads to success both communally and personally, especially for those involved in education and influence.
