6024 —חינוך טהור והבל תינוקות של בית רבן

B"H, Rosh Chodesh Shevat, 5718. Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I acknowledge receipt of your letter number 22-23. May it be G‑d's will that your efforts succeed in removing all obstacles and hindrances regarding what was discussed above, to eliminate concealments and obscurations, and for everyone to cooperate together to fulfill His will in spreading Torah and education in purity, increasing both in quantity and quality. The merit of the many—the students who deeply yearn with inner desire for the word of G‑d, which is Torah—assists you. Especially the schoolchildren (Tashbar), as explained regarding the greatness of their breath even when questioned by our Sages: 'What about mine and yours?' The answer (Shabbat 119b) is wondrously explained in Kuntres Acharon by our Rebbe (Tanya, ch. 39), regarding this breath that rises above even if not entirely for its own sake but out of fear of punishment; yet this breath is elevated up to Atzilus. The wonder of this is understood from what is written in Tanya elsewhere, including chapter 39, which sheds light on our law that we do not interrupt children's Torah study even for building the Beis HaMikdash. Their merit brings blessing... Thus, the lesson is clear, and the merit of the many assists you as above.

With blessings for success and good news.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that pure Torah education—especially through schoolchildren—has immense spiritual power to sustain the world. Everyone should work together to expand holy education both in scope and depth, drawing strength from the collective merit of young students.
