Shalom u'Vrachah!

... In response to your question regarding the customs of Anash in educating young children, you should inquire with the elder chassidim in your area, as I have not heard anything specific on this (aside from what is mentioned in various printed sources).

Certainly you will inform me of further developments regarding Yeshivas HaErev, the students who traveled to Lod, the Chabad synagogue in the Pagi neighborhood, etc. Thank you in advance.

I have read several of Rabbi Betzalel Landau's essays published in Machanayim and enjoyed them. Likewise—his book about the Baal Shem Tov (though it is unfortunate that it lacks source references!!) is worthy of encouragement and praise.

The wedding of the Rebbe Rashab took place, as is customary among Jews, at the home of the bride's parents in Avrutch. As for whether the bride's grandfather, Harav Hatzaddik Harav Hakadosh etc. Harav Yisrael Yaakov of Cherkass participated—I have not heard anything about this.

Treatment with "radium rays," especially for very young children—requires extra caution. If any doctor has concerns—it should not be done. May He Who heals all flesh send her a complete recovery in a good and revealed way.

At an auspicious time all those you write about will be mentioned at the gravesite of my father-in-law, the Rebbe zatzal.

Summary

The Rebbe guides to seek local tradition for chinuch practices, encourages Torah scholarship and publishing with proper sources, clarifies historical details when possible, and stresses utmost caution with medical treatments for children—always seeking expert advice and G‑d’s blessing for healing.
