Letter from the Lubavitcher Rebbe - Educational Guidance, Blessings for Satisfaction, and Wishes for Daughter's Wedding - 1958
Letter of blessings for satisfaction, and wishes for the daughter's wedding, signed by Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Addressed to R. Chaim Shalom Segal of Jerusalem. Brooklyn NY, Tammuz 1958.
Typewritten on the Rebbe's official stationery, with his handwritten signature. Additions and corrections in the Rebbe's handwriting.
The beginning of the letter pertains to educational matters, regarding a boy who behaved improperly. The Rebbe reassures that the occurrence would not impact this boy's future, since he would still mature, and become wiser over the years. The Rebbe blesses R. Chaim Shalom: "And may he grow in wisdom… may his wisdom endure through his fear of G-d which precedes it, to the great satisfaction of his parents…".
Further in the letter, the Rebbe congratulates R. Segal for his daughter's betrothal: "May it take place at an auspicious time, and may they build a faithful home in Israel, based on foundations of Torah and mitzvot". The Rebbe further blesses R. Segal that he have the merit to edify many more G-d fearing disciples, who study G-d's Torah (both the revealed and hidden realms), and fulfill the Torah commandments meticulously.
