Greeting and Blessing:
I received your letter written on Erev Pessach, and, as requested, I will remember you in prayer, when visiting the holy resting place of my father-in-law of saintly memory. May G-d, whose benevolent Providence extends to everyone individually, lead you in the way that is truly good for you in every respect.
As we are now in the midst of the days of Sfira, you surely know that the inner aspect of counting the days of the Omer is to express our longing and desire for Mattan Torah, which comes immediately at the end of Sfira. It is necessary that this feeling should not remain confined to the heart, but should be expressed in a growing devotion and diligence in the study of the Torah and the fulfillment of the Mitzvoth.
I hope that this will be your daily experience, and that you will also use your good influence on your friends in this direction, in fulfillment of the teaching of our Sages that Ahavas Yisroel is the great principle of the Torah.
With blessing
By Nissan Mindel
