Shalom u'Vrachah!

I acknowledge receipt of your letter from the 3rd of Adar, in which you briefly describe some activities of Tzeirei Agudas Chabad. May it be G‑d's will that for many more years you will continue to share such good news, always increasing and progressing. We are now in the month of Adar, a month distinguished by the verse 'VeNahafoch Hu' ("And it was turned around") and that 'many from among the peoples of the land became Jews,' and similarly in a subtle sense, matters associated with 'the peoples of the land' (see Likkutei Torah Devarim p. 90d) are transformed so that they too become Jewish (as our Sages say: anyone who rejects idolatry is called a Jew). May it be G‑d's will that all this be accomplished with true expansiveness both materially and spiritually.

With blessings for a joyous Purim and for good news.

Summary

The Rebbe encourages ongoing efforts to transform secular matters into holiness, especially during Adar—a time uniquely suited for such transformation—and blesses the recipient with material and spiritual abundance as well as a joyful Purim.
