7532 —חיזוק הבטחון, הדרכה רפואית, ובדיקת מזוזות

Shalom u'Vrachah! [5 Teves 5721] I acknowledge receipt of your letter with its enclosures.

At an auspicious time, you will be mentioned at the holy resting place of my father-in-law, the Rebbe zatzal, according to the content of your letter.

I trust it is unnecessary to explain that every Jew—man or woman, young or old—must be strong in bitachon in Hashem Yisbarach, Who watches over everyone with individual Divine Providence in all details of their life, especially regarding health matters. This should add strength and courage to be confident that ultimately everything will be for the good.

And just as Hashem wants us to do everything within our natural means, one must therefore seek the opinion of a specialist doctor—in your case, a neurologist and mood expert—and follow his instructions. May Hashem grant His blessing for success, especially great success; and the stronger one's bitachon is, the more one sees blessing.

It would also be appropriate to have the mezuzos in your home checked to ensure they are kosher according to halachah, as well as your husband's tefillin. Each weekday morning before putting on tefillin, give a few coins (a small amount) to tzedakah. You should do similarly each time before lighting candles on Erev Shabbos and Erev Yom Tov, as is the good custom of Jewish daughters.

Blessings for good news in all the above-mentioned matters.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that strengthening one's bitachon in Hashem brings blessing and success. He advises following medical guidance from specialists while also ensuring mezuzos and tefillin are kosher and giving tzedakah before mitzvos for added merit.
