Brooklyn, NY.

Havav"ch iy"a nu"n mo"h Yitzchak Shtresberg — Rechov Beit Vagan 15, Jerusalem may it be rebuilt and established.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

Your letter was received after some delay, in which you write about your current position and about the offer for the position of director at the Bikur Cholim hospital.

In general, the offer for the new position is appropriate; however, your letter does not clarify the financial conditions of the new job, including matters such as pension and so on. Most importantly: is it established—meaning, is this new position secure and not just on a trial basis? If these two points are in order, it is worthwhile to pursue this new opportunity.

Since everything happens by Divine Providence, I must take this opportunity to emphasize the necessity of also studying the inner dimension of Torah—which in our generation has been revealed through Chassidus. I hope that from now on you will have regular daily study sessions in this area, with additional study on Shabbat Kodesh.

It is proper to check your tefillin and mezuzot if they have not been checked within twelve months.

With blessings for good news.

Summary

The Rebbe advises careful consideration of job offers by clarifying financial terms and security. He also stresses maintaining regular study of Chassidus and attention to mitzvot like checking tefillin and mezuzot for spiritual well-being.
