B"H, 9th of Marcheshvan, 5721. Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter from the 25th of Tishrei: At an auspicious time, all those you wrote about will be mentioned at the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, of blessed memory, in accordance with your letter's content.

Regarding your question "From where will my help come?"—the answer is already stated in Scripture and as our Sages explain: "Ezri me'im Hashem oseh shamayim va'aretz" (My help comes from Hashem, Maker of heaven and earth). The end result will be: "Vayifrotz ha'ish me'od me'od" (the man became exceedingly prosperous), as our Sages expound regarding "u'faratzta" (and you shall spread out).

It is surprising that you did not mention anything about your activities during our time of joy. These days are inclusive for the entire year and are central within all matters of the month of Tishrei, as explained in many places—surely you will fulfill this in your next opportunity.

With blessing for good news.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that true help comes from Hashem and encourages sharing reports on one's positive actions during Tishrei, as these days set the tone for the whole year.
