Haraha"g Haraha"ch iy"a nu"n oseik b'tzt"z Ephraim Eliezer HaKohen

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter from the 24th of Teves, the yahrzeit of our master the Alter Rebbe. I was pleased to read about the improvement in your health, and I multiply the words of blessing many times (in the manner of 'the light of the entire east shines... in Chevron'), that it should go from good to even better in all those particulars about which you write.

Regarding what you mention about issues of nitzok and kataphras, you surely know that this is discussed in the commentary on Mishnayot by Admor the tzt"z and in Shaar HaMiluyim there.

As for what you bring regarding the version of three steps, it is worth noting from where exactly is mentioned the number three in connection to steps.

Concerning Moshe's level among the five called Naran Chai, see the writings of the Arizal as referenced below. There you will also find an extensive explanation on the matter of 'turning aside to see,' and on the verse 'Asura na ve'ereh' (Let me turn now and see), there is a well-known sichah printed on this by my father-in-law, Admor zatzukal lehavdil ben chayim l'chayim zichrono yagen aleinu.

With honor and blessing for good news in all mentioned above.

Summary

The Rebbe encourages ongoing improvement in health and Torah study, addresses complex halachic topics with scholarly references, and highlights deep insights into Moshe's spiritual stature. He concludes with blessings for continued positive developments.
