6525 —הדרכה על המשך לימוד בכולל והפצת חסידות

B"H, 19 Tishrei, 5719. Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter from the 11th of Tishrei,

in which you ask whether to continue your studies in the kollel, since there is no other settled position.

In such a matter, one must be careful not to let it become a habit of inaction with regard to settling himself, for the body tends toward the approach of "sit and do nothing." He should give thought to a stable, settled position and consult with those who know him and are familiar with the local conditions regarding this concern, and act accordingly.

It is surprising that you do not mention anything about increasing your own study of Chassidus as well as for others. After all, spreading the wellsprings outward is a demand and necessity of the time.

With blessing for good news.

Because of the sanctity of the festival, the Rebbe did not sign personally; I am signing in his name, the Secretary.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches not to remain passive out of habit but to seek stability through wise counsel. He also stresses that every individual should increase their own learning and actively spread Chassidus to others as an urgent need of our times.
