Sholom uBrocho:
Your letter of Sept. 6th gave me considerable satisfaction. I was particularly gratified to note in it, and in the enclosures, that you convinced yourself of the truth of "G-d is with us, fear not," which is as valid in 20th century USA as when it was it was first declared, as written in the Torah. For our bond with G-d does not change in time and place. May G-d grant that you will proceed from this strength, and that the spirit expressed in your letters will have its effect on those to whom they were addressed, and through them to those over whom they, in turn, have influence.
As per your suggestion, I have written to Mr. M. Katz, and a copy is enclosed.
On this day, Chai Elul, the birthday of the saintly Baal Shem Tov and the Old Rebbe, Baal haTanya and Shulchan Aruch, which, as my father-in-law of saintly memory observed, infuses vitality into all the matters connected with the month of Elul, the month of spiritual stock-taking and preparation for the new year, may it indeed bring an added measure of vitality and strength to each and everyone of us, in the midst of all our people, in accordance with the addition to our prayers, twice daily, "G-d is my light and my help."
Wishing you and yours a kesivo vachasimo toivo,
With blessing,
