Havavach iy"a nu"n etc. Ben Tzion Gershoni

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I was pleased to receive regards from you through Mr. Zvi who also told me, even if only in brief, about your work together under one roof.

May it be G‑d's will that you utilize the talents with which you were endowed by Divine Providence and the opportunities given to you—to spread traditional Judaism ever more and more, increasing light with joy and gladness of heart. Through this, the success of your work will increase tangibly and significantly. I look forward to hearing good news regarding all the above.

Certainly for your honor it is unnecessary to add that what was mentioned also includes—and is among the main points—an increase in setting fixed times for Torah study for yourself, both in Nigleh (revealed Torah) and Chassidus. This is especially so according to what is explained about the great necessity of studying the inner dimension of Torah as revealed in Chassidus in our times, in the generation preceding Mashiach and in Eretz HaKodesh (the Holy Land), about which it is said: "The eyes of Hashem your G‑d are upon it from the beginning of the year until year's end."

With honor and blessing to hear good news.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that using one's unique abilities to spread Judaism should be done with increasing joy and dedication. Regular Torah study—especially learning Chassidus—is vital for personal growth and success in this mission.
