Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter from 11 Tammuz with the enclosed pan to be read at an auspicious time at the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe zatzukal lehe nbgm zya.

Regarding what you wrote about a candidate to learn with a class in the Achai Temimim Yeshiva under your administration—it is understood that this depends on his talent and adaptability to the students, etc. However, as you wrote, there is an additional matter: he is also a teacher in the Reshet school. This requires communication with them because it is obvious that one must not cause any detriment G‑d forbid to these schools.

May you have good news in all the matters mentioned in your letter. It is self-evident and also simple regarding the state of the holy yeshiva; it is surprising that you write about discouragement concerning this matter on the eve of the days of redemption—12th and 13th Tammuz. Surely you know the meaning of the verse: "VeHayamim HaEileh (K'shehem) Nizkarim (Hein Gam) Naasim" (And these days when remembered are also enacted), and that the words of tzaddikim, their actions and their spiritual influences endure forever. Yet even here one must serve with joy and gladness of heart; then comes strengthened confidence. As was recounted at this year's Yud-Beis Tammuz farbrengen here—the words of the Rebbe Rashab, to his son my father-in-law on Yud-Beis Tammuz 5655 explaining Iggeres HaKodesh "Chagra BaOz Matneha," ending: Oz iz mesirus nefesh; mesirus nefesh iz azoi un nit andersh (Strength is self-sacrifice; self-sacrifice is like this and not otherwise). So too regarding the yeshiva—its existence and development are essential: like this and not otherwise. Then one also finds ways for this more easily, as is evident in practice.

Blessings for good news in all mentioned above.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that effective teaching requires both personal suitability and harmonious cooperation with existing institutions. He urges maintaining joy and confidence even during challenges, especially around significant dates of redemption, ensuring steadfastness leads to positive outcomes.
