9204 —התחזקות בקדושה, בדיקת מזוזות, וצדקה לפני הדלקת נרות

B"H, 6 Elul 5726, Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter from August 15 with its enclosure.

At an auspicious time, you will be mentioned at the holy resting place of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe zatzal, for all the matters about which you wrote.

It is well known from our Sages that strengthening and increasing in holiness, Judaism, and mitzvos brings additional blessing from Hashem. And regarding matters of goodness and holiness—no matter how good the situation is—there is always room to add more since they are connected to the Holy One Blessed Be He, Who is infinite.

It is proper that you check the mezuzos in your home to ensure they are all kosher according to halachah. Surely you also keep the fine custom of Jewish women to give charity before lighting candles every Friday afternoon and before Yom Tov.

With blessings for a good inscription and sealing in the Book of Life,
In the name of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe shlita,
Mazkir

P.S. In my secretariat we do not write French; therefore this letter comes in Lashon HaKodesh. However, you may write in French as I can read that language.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that increasing in holiness and mitzvos brings greater blessing. He advises checking mezuzos for kashrus and encourages giving charity before candle lighting as a meritorious custom for Jewish women.
