The Rebbe’s advice - Rabbi Chaim Wolosow

The Rebbe advises consulting local educators, as discipline depends on the character of each place. A key method is appointing monitors from among the less obedient students themselves, giving them responsibility. He concludes with a blessing for a good and sweet new year in both material and spiritual matters.

The Rebbe is pleased with the new Chassidus class in Beis HaKnesses Chafetz Chaim and urges not to settle with current efforts but to expand further, especially in Elul and the Yamim Noraim. At the same time, they must maintain diligence in Torah and mitzvos, ever increasing in holiness, with hope for continued good news.

The Rebbe addresses the tragedy of a daughter leaving Judaism, noting it can stem from lack of family purity at conception. He urges strict observance of Taharas HaMishpacha, influencing others likewise, checking tefillin and mezuzos, removing idolatrous items, and addressing material causes—promising Hashem’s blessings and hope for good news.

The Rebbe reassures him that Hashem, the essence of good, guides the world with hashgacha pratis, so worry is needless. He encourages public Torah study, especially the halachos of Tishrei, and to serve with joy and gratitude, remembering the light of Chassidus and living with confidence and simcha.

The Rebbe praises his teaching in Zarnuga as correct and inspiring for others in Torah and mitzvos, with success “lifum tzaara agra.” He notes the lack of timely preparation for the kinus and urges a clear plan to utilize Tishrei fully. He concludes with blessings for a good and sweet year materially and spiritually.

The Rebbe explains that advising “marry one like yourself” in yibbum is not changing Hashem’s will—this too is His command when ages are unsuitable, just as pikuach nefesh overrides Shabbos. He urges him to continue faithfully with daily Chitas and Torah study without distraction.

The Rebbe acknowledges his “inventory” of self-accounting around Chai Elul, noting that even cheshbon hanefesh must be with joy, as it too is avodas Hashem. Anything that hinders action is not from the side of good. The Rebbe blesses him with a good and sweet new year, materially and spiritually.

The Rebbe explains there is no need to leave Eretz Yisrael to study Nigleh and Chassidus, since Torah study is possible everywhere. The real obstacle is the yetzer hara, not lack of ability. Each lost day of learning is irretrievable; with resolve he can begin diligent study immediately.

The Rebbe responds that it is clear from Rambam that the true Geulah begins only with a king from Beis David who fulfills Torah, compels observance, and gathers the exiles. Since we remain in deep galus, one should focus on Torah and mitzvos, for each deed adds light, dispels darkness, and hastens redemption.

The Rebbe stresses not to abandon the long-standing minhag of preparing before davening, including learning and mikvah, even if it delays tefillah. Saying Krias Shema on time individually suffices, while the depth of preparation elevates prayer to a true korban, wholly devoted to Hashem.
