The Avrech Shalom, may he live.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to his letter of the 25th of Menachem Av, in which he writes that my opinion was conveyed to them, that after the wedding he and his wife, may she live and be well, will be in Morocco, Casablanca, and there they will be involved in the holy work of educating children in the holy Torah, together with the Chabad brotherhood who are there.

Fortunate is their portion that Divine Providence has placed them in such a beautiful role: educating and drawing the hearts of Jewish children closer to our Father in Heaven. The greatness of the reward cannot be adequately described, in addition to the main and ultimate reward—one mitzvah brings another mitzvah. Furthermore, this is among those things about which it is said that a person eats their fruits in this world while the principal remains for the World to Come, since it includes both Torah study and acts of kindness. Torah study is equal to them all, and acts of kindness are even greater than charity. This is truly the main service of Hashem in these times before Moshiach's arrival, and it is the path to truly cleaving to Hashem and transforming darkness into its own light. As our master, the Alter Rebbe, concludes in Iggeres HaKodesh (end of section 9), they will merit to see "eye to eye when Hashem returns to Zion," etc.

With blessings for success in all the above.

P.S. Regarding the manner of this work and its details—more will be sent in writing.

Summary

Educating Jewish children is a unique merit with immense spiritual rewards both now and eternally. This work combines Torah study and acts of kindness, serving as a vital path for connecting with Hashem and bringing light into the world during challenging times.
