Shavuos Blessing
We should encourage all Jews—men, women, and likewise the children—to bless each other before Shavuos. They should use this precise phrase:
Kabolas HaTorah B’Simchah u’BePnimiyus—“May you receive the Torah with joy and inwardness!” This was the wording used by the Previous Rebbe—and he instructed others to use it as well.
Through blessing a fellow Jew, you are blessed as well, as Hashem promises us, “I will bless those that bless you…” And I [the Rebbe] will personally begin [implementing this directive] by blessing all the Jewish people—using the precise wording of the [Previous] Rebbe’s blessing…
We will now conclude with the exact phrase that was heard from my father-in-law, the Rebbe, Leader of our Generation: Kabolas HaTorah B’Simchah u’BePnimiyus—To accept the Torah with joy and inwardness.
