B"H, erev Shavuos, 5709

Greetings and blessings,

I am writing about a matter of present concern, the kuntreis for Shavuos which was just now brought from the binder. You will no doubt share it with people at large in the most appropriate manner. As is well known, our Sages state (Devarim Rabbah 7:8) that were the Jews to have been lacking even one individual — even one on the lowest level (see the Midrash quoted in the previous maamar) — the Divine presence would not have been revealed at the Giving of the Torah.

[The need for reaching out to every individual deserves] special [emphasis], for which one of us has been granted mystic knowledge by G-d and can thus know what transpires within a colleague’s heart and what is the extent of his greatness and the level of his soul and spirit in their root and source within the living G-d?[396]

May He who grants us the Torah of life grant us the merit to receive the Torah with happiness and inner feeling.

With greetings and wishes for everlasting good in all matters,
