The veteran Chassid, a G‑d-fearing man, honored and distinguished, etc., Rabbi Yaakov sheyichyeh, shochet u'bodek

Shalom u'Vrachah!

Through the Chassidic Rabbi, a G‑d-fearing man, honored and distinguished, engaged in the needs of the community, a man of fine character, etc., Rabbi Yosef Chaim sheyichyeh HaKohen Rozenfeld, a pan (pidyon nefesh) was received on his behalf.

At an auspicious time he will be mentioned at the holy Tziyon of my father-in-law the Rebbe, for whatever he needs.

And the merit of his involvement and efforts in the strengthening and development of the Talmud Torah under the above-mentioned leadership will certainly stand by him in all that he and his household need in general—and in this, as is obvious and simple, an improvement in health, in accordance with the content of the pan and with the teaching of the Alter Rebbe (Simchas Torah 5540)

(which we heard from my father-in-law the Rebbe, in his maamar of Shabbos Teshuvah 5699)

founded on the statement of the Zohar (vol. 3, 52b): "It is a tree of life to those who take hold of it" (Mishlei 3:18)—these are the men of comprehension who study Torah; "and those who support it are fortunate"—these are the men of avodah who occupy themselves with Torah. "Fortunate"—gliklech; as it is stated in the Zohar (ibid.), do not read "me'ushar" (fortunate) but "meirosho" (from His head), for through their avodah they draw down from His head, that is, from the innermost level of the blessed Ein Sof—like the superiority of the foot, which is specifically what upholds the head.

With blessing for good tidings.

P.S.

He surely knows of the three well-known daily study portions—Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya—which we have often heard from my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe zatzal, are equal for every soul and a segulah for many matters.

Rabbi Yaakov (מו"ה יעקב): Krasik, Priska.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that supporting Torah education brings blessings in all areas of life. Daily study of Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya benefits everyone equally and serves as a powerful segulah for personal needs.
