7480 —הוספת שעות לימוד בימי שישי והכנה לשבת

B"H, 20th of Marcheshvan, 5721, Brooklyn.

Graduates of the fourth class, students of the carpentry school in Kfar Chabad, founded and directed by the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, of blessed memory.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter from the 16th of Cheshvan, in which you write about increasing study hours on Friday and how this relates to preparing for Shabbat, which is holy to Hashem: Present your arguments to the administration of the aforementioned school. It is understood that you may say you are doing this at my suggestion. Since the request for additional hours comes from the appropriate offices, they will surely also prepare suggestions on how to fulfill this requirement while ensuring that none of the necessary preparations for Shabbat are lacking.

I hope that your studies and conduct in general are fitting in every detail for a Jew—each one called a son of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov—and especially as you study in a school in Kfar Chabad as mentioned above, founded and directed by the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, leader of Israel.

With blessings for success and good news in all the above.

Summary

The Rebbe encourages balancing increased study time with proper Shabbat preparation and reminds students that their conduct should reflect their heritage as Jews learning in Kfar Chabad under the guidance of the Previous Rebbe.
