“You will also find material sustenance there; with blessings of Mazal Tov … M. Schneerson”
Letter of blessings for a shidduch and sustenance, with the golden counsel from the Rebbe in the name of the Rayya”tz as to how one can influence children to grow in Torah and Chassidut (without even speaking to them about it)! The letter is integrated along its entire length with corrections in the Rebbe’s hand, well beyond the familiar standard. The Rebbe’s signature appears in the margins of the letter. Brooklyn, New York, 18 Menachem Av, 1956. Extremely important content.
In this important letter, the Rebbe deals with the painful subject of a child who has veered from his fathers’ ways. This distress has accompanied the Jewish people from time immemorial and is especially exacerbated during times of abundance. Some were in favor of taking a harsh approach with the child and thus bringing him back, and some argued the opposite – that he should actually be brought closer and one should reconnect with him. The Rebbe, with the deep advice of his elder, disqualifies both ways and offers a third way, much easier and with guaranteed results – that the father should strengthen himself in the same area in which the son needs strengthening – and this will miraculously affect the son even without any disciplinary word! The Rebbe emphasizes that this segulah is always beneficial even when the deterioration is already significant, as he received this tradition from the Rebbe – from his father-in-law, who said, “It is never too late.”
