  An analysis of the advice Achitophel gave his sons before his passing (Bava Basra 147a)Table of contentsThe need for spiritual outreach  

No. 491

This letter was sent to R. Avraham HaKohen Kalishker.
B"H, erev Shavuos, 5709

Greetings and blessings,

With satisfaction, I am sending you the kuntreis for Shavuos from my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe Shlita, that was just now brought from the binder and also The Complete Story of Shavuos. I hope that you will use them in a manner that brings merit to people at large [in which instance,] “the merit of the many is dependent on him.”[392]

We are approaching [the day of] the receiving of the Torah. “‘Love your fellow as yourself ’[393] is a great general principal in the Torah”[394] and “You shall certainly help him”[395] is one of [the Torah’s] commands. [And so,] until when? Either I should help you in your paint business or it’s time — indeed, it is overdue — that you should work together with me in Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch.

What is the purpose in delaying and procrastinating another week or another month?

Gevald! Reb Avraham, when will I begin thinking about what is genuinely good for me? And when will you do that for yourself?

May you have a happy holiday and may all the Rebbe’s blessings be fulfilled.

Rabbi Menachem Schneerson
