Take a job

Rebbe Responsa | June 25, 2025

May you not know of any sorrow; make your permanent home in London; it is good to be employed

B.H. 16th of Menachem Av 5726. Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mrs. . . .

Blessing and Greeting:

I am in receipt of your letter. No doubt you have in due time received my letter of consolation, and may you not know of any sorrow in the future.

In reply to your questions, it would be advisable unless there are some compelling reasons otherwise — that you should make your permanent home in London.

With regard to employment you are of course right in thinking that you should take a job. Apart from the financial gain, it is good for you to be employed. As for particulars in this area, I note that you have already taken on temporary employment, and for further guidance you should consult with your friends there.

In accordance with your request, this letter is sent to you on a priority basis ahead of turn, and by airmail special delivery.

With blessing,
M. Schneerson
