Greeting and Blessing:
Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness in sending me your book "Windows to My Soul." As often happens, a person's writings sometimes reveal new facets of the author’s personality. I had not known that you possessed a poetical "streak" in your soul, which had not been revealed during our conversation.
I have only been able to glance at one or two pages of the book, and I was pleased to note that it is related to your principal task as a Rov and spiritual leader in your congregation, to strengthen and spread Yiddishkeit among your members.
I trust that all the book was written with this in mind, and in compliance with the principle "Know Him in all thy ways". The emphasis here is on both all as well as thy ways, namely the obligation of every individual to use all his capacities and opportunities to spread the knowledge of G-d and the attachment to Him and His precepts.
May G-d grant that you should continue to spread traditional Yiddishkeit, in its full authenticity and without compromises, in an ever growing measure, and may this work always be a source of achievement and personal gratification to you.
With blessing
M. Schneerson
