Havavac"h iy"a nu"n Rav Pealim u'Ba'al Middos Mohe Shlomo Perin

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I acknowledge receipt of your letter from 7 Iyar with the good news: a) The increase in the number of students at Beis Lubavitch and also the organization of a minyan. May it be His will that the principle 'the reward for a mitzvah is another mitzvah' be fulfilled in this matter—that there should be more and more, meaning an increase in quantity (more male and female students), as well as in quality—the standard of learning and the impact that the student should bring to practical deeds, as our Sages say: 'Great is study for it leads to action.'

b) Regarding the improvement in your wife's health condition—may it be His will that, according to the saying of our Rebbeim and Nesi'im, it should go from good to even better. It is well known the ruling: 'Maintaining a healthy and whole body is part of the ways of Hashem' (Rambam Hilchos Deos, beginning of chapter 4).

c) And last but not least—your daughter is now in different circumstances; may Hashem fill her days of pregnancy properly and easily, and may she give birth to a healthy child at its proper time easily.

And since we find ourselves on this luminous day of Lag BaOmer—whose message is to bring down what is hidden and inner into revelation (the deepest concealed into public openness)—so too may all goodness that Hashem gives each person among all Israel be brought down openly below ten handbreadths.

And may the merit of your involvement in spreading the wellsprings in your country—especially at Beis Lubavitch—stand by you for additional blessing and success in all the above-mentioned matters.

Awaiting good news, M. Schneersohn

Summary

The Rebbe encourages continued growth—in students, spiritual quality, health, and family—and connects these blessings to Lag BaOmer’s theme of revealing inner G‑dliness openly. He emphasizes that efforts in spreading Chassidus bring further Divine blessing.
