Shalom uBrachah:
Some time ago, I received word from Rabbi Raichik that you were experiencing some difficulties in business. I trust everything is in satisfactory order, and I would be gratified to hear that this is so.
Mrs. Weksler no doubt conveyed to you my regards on her return from her visit here. Apparently, your intention to be here has not yet materialized itself. I shall look forward to the good opportunity to make your personal acquaintance.
In these days, before and after Tisha b’Av, reminding us strongly of the destruction of the Beth Hamikdosh, we are also filled with the greater hope and faith in the Geulo Shlemo and the rebuilding of the Beth Hamikdosh. The preparation for that time is that every one should make his maximum effort in discharging his responsibilities toward the support of Mikdoshim-Me’at during our days of exile, and they are the institutions of kosher education and the truly orthodox synagogues. When everyone does his utmost in this direction, we are speeding the Geulo Shlemo for Klal Yisroel.
With prayerful wishes that you have good news to inform of your well-being and in all matters.
Cordially yours,
