Blessings and Greetings!

In response to your letter, in which you write that you have reached the age of twelve, which is the time of bas-mitzvah -

May it be G-d's will that you wholeheartedly accept upon yourself the yoke of the Kingdom of Heaven and the yoke of the mitzvos. May G-d grant you success in your studies and in your conduct, and may you grow up to be worthy of being called a daughter of Chabad, in keeping with the desire of our holy Rebbeim of blessed memory.

May you influence your friends, too, in this direction, by speaking to them, and, even more so, by being a living example of a daughter of Israel who is educated in the ways of Chassidus.

And this will bring you happiness, both spiritual and material.

With blessings,
