Correspondence with the Rebbe

The Lubavitcher Rebbe wrote to Rabbi Moshe Binyamin Tomashov in connection with a gathering organized for the benefit of the "Beis Rivkah" educational institutions. The Rebbe expresses his appreciation for the efforts of Rabbi Tomashov and the committee, emphasizing that their dedication requires no external encouragement or thanks, referencing the teaching that "we only encourage those who are already eager." The Rebbe highlights the special significance these institutions held for his father-in-law, the previous Rebbe, and notes the ongoing spiritual advocacy on behalf of those involved in pure Torah education.

The tone of the letter is warm and supportive, conveying the Rebbe's confidence in Rabbi Tomashov's commitment to not only initiate but also see through the success of communal projects. The Rebbe encourages continued oversight and effort beyond the initial gathering, particularly in ensuring the financial stability and growth of the institutions, and offers heartfelt blessings for success in both communal and personal endeavors.
