Encouragement for Health, Shidduch, and Moving Forward

Through the Holy Letters of the Rebbe in Volume 17, letter number 6156. Baruch Hashem, the third day of Nissan, 5718, Brooklyn. Shalom u’Vracha.

After a prolonged interruption, the Rebbe says, “I received your letter in which you share the good news about the improvement of your health condition.” And the Rebbe prays that you should fully return to your health and strength very soon, and that you should be able to celebrate the festival and the special times approaching us in a peaceful way, with good health and a broad and settled mind, meaning all good. The Rebbe blesses him, especially in anticipation of Pesach, which is less than two weeks away, with a complete recovery.

Now he wrote to the Rebbe about this girl, Mrs.—sheyichyeh l’orech yamim tovim v’aruchim, her name is not mentioned. So the Rebbe says that at an opportune time he will mention her at the holy Tzion of his father-in-law, the Rebbe, with all the Rebbe’s titles, for everything that she needs in general, including health and a good shidduch, a true and fitting shidduch for her.

Now he had written that she experienced some sort of health-related incident. It appears that she had some kind of nervous or emotional episode, and she has since fully recuperated. There was concern that perhaps this might affect her prospects for marriage, that something might recur or that there may be lingering issues.

So the Rebbe says that we follow only what is written in our holy Torah, which is a Toras Chayim, a Torah of life that guides us how to live properly. The mitzvah of marriage and having children is a great mitzvah, and in fact it is the very first mitzvah in the Torah, the mitzvah of Pru u’Rvu, to be fruitful and multiply. And we know that the order in the Torah is itself an instruction, meaning that what appears first is of primary importance.

So the Rebbe says that since she is a religious woman, a G-d-fearing woman, modest, and conducts herself accordingly, Hashem will surely grant her the merit to build a home among the Jewish people, a Jewish home, an everlasting edifice, and to have children blessed by Hashem. The Rebbe says not to worry—she is deserving, and this great mitzvah should be fulfilled through her.

And the Rebbe adds that she, and also those around her, should completely remove this matter from their thoughts. They should divert their minds from it entirely. What happened has passed, and nothing remains from it—there is no trace, she is completely healed.

The Rebbe prays that she should soon be able to share good news that she has settled down, married, and established her home. And as we approach Pesach, the Rebbe concludes with a blessing for a Chag HaPesach Kasher v’Sameach to you and to all your family members.

So while she had an occurrence, which appears to have been a nervous or emotional episode, she has fully recovered, and the Rebbe says that this should not prevent her from building a home and having children. The Rebbe emphasizes that this is a most important mitzvah, the very first in the Torah, highlighting its central importance. One should not dwell on the past at all, and the Rebbe blesses them all with a kosher and joyous Pesach.

Summary
The Rebbe teaches to move forward with confidence after full recovery, not allowing past challenges to define the future. With trust in Hashem and focus on Torah priorities, one merits to build a Jewish home and receive abundant blessings.

אגרות קודש של הרבי, כרך י״ז, מכתב מספר 6156. ברוך השם, ג׳ ניסן תשי״ח, ברוקלין. שלום וברכה.

לאחר הפסקה ממושכת, הרבי כותב שקיבל את מכתבך שבו בישרת על שיפור במצב הבריאות. הרבי מברך שתשוב לבריאותך ולכוחך בשלמות בקרוב, ותזכה לחגוג את ימי המועד הקרבים מתוך מנוחה, בריאות והרחבת הדעת.

עוד נכתב על אודות אשה מסוימת, שתחי׳ לאורך ימים טובים וארוכים. הרבי כותב שיזכיר אותה על ציון קדשו של כ״ק אדמו״ר הריי״צ לכל צרכיה, ובכללם בריאות ושידוך טוב ואמיתי המתאים לה.

נזכר שהיא עברה אירוע בריאותי, כנראה נפשי או רגשי, אך החלימה לחלוטין. היה חשש שמא הדבר ישפיע על עניין השידוך. הרבי מדגיש שאין להתחשב בכך כלל.

הרבי מבאר שעלינו ללכת לפי התורה שהיא תורת חיים. מצוות נישואין והולדת ילדים היא מצווה גדולה והיא המצווה הראשונה בתורה—פרו ורבו—והסדר בתורה מורה על חשיבותה.

מכיוון שהיא יראת שמים וצנועה ומתנהגת כראוי, ה׳ יצליח חלקה לבנות בית בישראל, בניין עדי עד, ולהעמיד בנים מבורכים.

הרבי מדגיש שיש להסיר את העניין מהלב והמחשבה לגמרי, ואין כל שארית ממנו, והיא בריאה לחלוטין.

הרבי מברך שתזכה בקרוב לבשר בשורות טובות על הקמת ביתה, ומסיים בברכת חג פסח כשר ושמח לה ולכל בני משפחתה.
