Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your notification about the certificate concerning future retirement benefits, may it be G‑d's will that the saying from our Torah, the Torah of Life—'Gam Zu LeTovah' (this too is for good)—be fulfilled in this matter.

As explained during the farbrengen, this is even greater than the concept of 'Kol Ma D'avid Rachmana Letav Avid' (everything that the Merciful One does is for good), whose meaning is that the outcomes will be good; whereas 'Gam Zu LeTovah' means that the matter itself will also be good, not only its results. This is evident from the events brought by our Sages regarding this topic.

Accordingly, it is also understood why the first saying is in Lashon HaKodesh (the holy tongue—inner dimension), while the second saying is in translation (outer dimension—not openly revealed). This should be understood well.

With blessings for good news amid proper health and expanded mind.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that true faith means recognizing G‑d's goodness not only in positive outcomes but within every event itself. The phrase 'Gam Zu LeTovah' reflects a deeper trust that even what seems negative is inherently good because it comes from G‑d.
