7217 —מברק תנחומים לאחר רעידת האדמה באגאדיר

B"H, 8 Adar, 5720. Brooklyn.

Kavod Haraha"g veHaraha"ch vavac"h iy"a, sitting in judgment, a man of many deeds etc. etc. Moreinu HaRav Reb Shaul shlita Danan, Av Beit Din of the holy community of Rabat may it be established and built. Shalom u'Vrachah!

Copied here is the text of the telegram that our honored Rebbe shlita graciously sent today to your honor in connection with the event, as follows:

Together with all our brethren in Morocco shlita we mourn the conflagration that Hashem, Maker of Maaseh Bereishit (the act of Creation), has brought upon the holy community of Agadir. Our prayer together with the congregation is that Hashem will repair the breaches among His people wherever they are and will soon raise up its ruins; and that out of tranquility and expansiveness communities and institutions of Torah and mitzvah will be rebuilt until fulfillment of the promise: "And I will build you as in days of old" (Amos 9:11) with the coming of our righteous Moshiach.

With greetings from our sighing brethren, with honor and blessing.

Menachem Schneersohn Lubavitch

I have requested that our fellow chassidim in the surrounding areas increase their prayers on Thursday, this coming fast day, in connection with what was said above, together with giving charity. The telegram was surely received in its time.

With honor and blessing,
Secretary
