The Rebbe’s Thanks for Coming to 770
We should publicize a Yasher Ko’ach, appreciative thanks to all of the Tishrei guests; their Chassidic sensitivity (Hergesh) shone openly within them and came to actual fruition, causing them to travel and spend Sukkos – the time of Hakhel (when, in Temple times, all Jewry gathered in the Beis Hamikdash) – in the immediate proximity of the Rebbe.
An Hour, Month or More
Yasher Ko’ach to those who spent an hour or a day here; certainly to those who were here during the entire duration of Sukkos; and particularly to the guests who stayed until the 7th of Marcheshvan.
Visit the Ohel – A Source of Blessing
Undoubtedly, they also paid a visit to the resting place of the Rebbe, my father-in-law, the Leader of our generation – who continues to serve in that capacity; such a visit serves to arouse abundant mercy that elicits all forms of blessing.
Remember Who You Encountered Here
Although you are now journeying apart, each of you should nevertheless recall and reflect on all the people you met during the time that you spent here; particularly since you spent time together during the month of Tishrei, both the Days of Awe and the Days of Joy, and Farbrenged together in the Sukkah. Further, you shared the joy of Simchas Torah, Shabbos Bereishis (which came in proximity to Simchas Torah) and were together until Erev Rosh Chodesh Marcheshvan.
Thinking Good of Them Brings Blessing
Your positive contemplation of fellow Jews and your wishing them ‘all the blessings in the world’ itself causes Hashem to yet further add in all good matters on behalf of those Jews.
Dwell on Their Virtues
Each of us is able to do positively recall other Jews and wish them blessings each and every day – we should at least do so every now and again (particularly on auspicious occasions) and recall the people with whom you spent Tishrei. Think of their virtues; doing so will cause those very virtues to be yet further stimulated.
