B"H, 20th of Marcheshvan, 5719. Brooklyn.

The veteran Chassid, a G‑d-fearing man, honored and distinguished, etc., Rabbi Azriel, sheyichyeh

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter of Erev Shabbos Kodesh.

The report is correct that there is here a set of source references for the holy Tanya, to pesukim and sayings of our Sages, although for certain reasons the actual printing has been delayed for now, and only a part of them appeared in the Tanya in its Yiddish translation.

Regarding your question in Igeres HaTeshuvah chapter 11 about what is written in Ezra—the intent is to the concept, not the specific expression.

You will surely find a Tanya published by Kehot in Brooklyn in the most recent years, which at the end contains an index of topics, names of people, notes, and corrections.

I take this opportunity to remind you about keeping the three well-known daily study portions—Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya—which we have heard many times from my father-in-law the Rebbe zatzal that they are suitable for every soul and are a segulah for many matters.

With blessing for good tidings,

In the name of the Rebbe shlita,

Secretary

Rabbi Azriel (מו"ה עזריאל): Markowitz, Strasbourg.

Summary

The Rebbe clarifies details about Tanya reference materials and urges consistent daily study of Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya as universally beneficial practices with special spiritual merit.
