B"H, 10 Sivan, 5718. Brooklyn.

To Mr. Yitzchak, sheyichyeh

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your message that a son was born to your daughter, may she live, mazal tov! He was named in Israel Nechemiah, sheyichyeh. May it be the will of Hashem that his parents raise him and bring him into Torah, to marriage, and to good deeds; may they raise him with abundance and derive much true nachas from him. The merit of the many—bringing their hearts closer to our Father in Heaven and certainly also to Torah and mitzvos—assists you.

With blessings of mazal tov and for good news also from your son and his family—he is included in this as well, obviously.

I was pleased with your decision—your choice to continue your connections with all those you mention in your letter, but at the same time to instruct them explicitly and without any concealment etc. I said similarly at a farbrengen: the expression "Torah Temimah" (complete Torah) should be taken literally. If one diminishes from its completeness—there is no Torah at all (at most only wisdom or deep intellect). For the essence of Torah is instruction and an obligatory command—not just information that if you do not want matter X you must reject matter Y which causes it.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that true Torah education requires completeness and clarity. One must not dilute its wholeness or hide its teachings; only then does it remain authentic Torah guiding us in life.
