Correspondence with the Rebbe

In a letter dated 28 Adar, 5712 (1952), the Rebbe conveys his blessing to Rabbi Sossleschik for a kosher and joyous Pesach. The Rebbe emphasizes the vital mission of instilling within students a spirit of fear of Heaven and knowledge of G-d, highlighting this as the ultimate purpose of the Messianic era: "for they will all know Me, from their smallest to their greatest." The Rebbe encourages Rabbi Sossleschik to dedicate both spiritual and physical effort to this task, assuring him that "whoever wishes to purify (which also means to purify others) is assisted from Above." The tone of the letter is warm and supportive, reflecting the Rebbe's appreciation for Rabbi Sossleschik's dedication to Jewish education and his role in shaping the next generation.
