Shalom u'Vrachah!

I acknowledge receipt of your letter from the 2nd of Tammuz (and those following it) with the attached material. Thank you for your attention in informing me of all the details regarding the negotiations between the religious parties in Eretz HaKodesh, may it be rebuilt and established.

At this time, I am once again addressing the matter of forming a technical religious front—meaning only for the purpose of elections, but not a front after that. Any post-election alliance should depend on renewed discussions and the situation as it stands after the elections. This is different from now, where taking too much at once is not advisable. Furthermore—and this is essential—there is great doubt whether such an alliance is even desirable at all (if we are speaking about a front from Eretz HaKodesh).

Enclosed is a copy of my detailed letter on this subject, and I hope that you also agree with my position and will do everything within your ability regarding this matter...

May it be G‑d's will that ultimately we merit that our Torah—the Torah of truth, which is one Torah—will bring together the hearts of one nation in the land to Hashem our G‑d, Hashem is One; and may all be united in one opinion (without votes given according to majority opinion) to do His will wholeheartedly.

With honor and blessings for all good.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that unity among religious groups should be based on true Torah values and careful consideration of circumstances. Forming alliances just for elections can be appropriate, but lasting unity must come from sincere agreement and shared purpose in serving Hashem wholeheartedly.
