Letter 6191 – The Merit of Kfar Chabad’s Matzah Campaign

The holy letters of the Rebbe, volume 17, letter number 6,191. Baruch Hashem, dated the 23rd day of Nissan, 5718, Brooklyn.

The Rebbe addresses this letter to the settlers and residents of Kfar Chabad, Hashem aleihem yichyu.

Shalom u’vrachah.

The Rebbe writes that it was with pleasure that the good news reached him regarding the participation of the residents of the village in the campaign of distributing Shmurah Matzah. They took part not only by supporting the effort, but also through their own physical labor and involvement in the baking and preparation of the Matzah.

The Rebbe notes that, as was reported to him, there was special emphasis in the participation of the N’shei u’Bnos Chabad, the women and daughters of Chabad, and that their role in this campaign was especially significant.

The Rebbe blesses them that their participation in this mission of providing to fellow Jews the Matzah known in the holy Zohar as michla d’asvusa and michla d’hemanusa — the food of healing and the food of faith — should also add blessing and benefit to the residents of the village in their own personal matters.

The Rebbe explains that the central theme of this blessing is the idea of leaving Egypt — meaning liberation from all forms of boundaries, limitations, concealments, and obstacles. They should merit to go out into a true state of expansiveness and freedom, both physically and spiritually.

This blessing applies especially, the Rebbe says, to the women and daughters of Chabad in Kfar Chabad.

Just as the verse states, “As in the days of your leaving Egypt, I will show you wonders,” and as our sages teach that in the merit of the righteous women our ancestors were redeemed from Egypt, so too may the women of Kfar Chabad merit, together with all the sons and daughters of Israel, to very soon witness the fulfillment of that promise.

May they soon see the wonders of the future redemption through Mashiach, in the true and complete Geulah.

The Rebbe concludes with blessings for constant good news all the days, and for true expansiveness and blessing, both materially and spiritually, in every matter.
