The Rebbe’s advice - Rabbi Chaim Wolosow

The Rebbe praises the valuable outreach work but stresses careful planning, especially when visiting non-religious settlements. He advises consulting knowledgeable colleagues, avoiding slander, and ensuring that at least one married or older person joins such trips, as Torah workers are watched closely. He extends this guidance to all involved.

The Rebbe encourages him not to feel distant from Chassidus, reminding that “it is very near to you” and that his mission of bringing Jews closer to Hashem brings immense blessing. He advises strengthening connection through studying Chassidic works, promises to mention the names at the Previous Rebbe’s holy resting place, and awaits good news.

The Rebbe expresses great satisfaction with the devoted shlichus of the visiting young rabbis and the positive response they received. He urges using every influence to spread Torah and mitzvos widely, which brings Hashem’s blessings of life, health, and livelihood, strengthens Jews everywhere, and fulfills our mutual responsibility for one another.

He urges proper planning, especially for upcoming Tishrei activities, with clear responsibility assigned. He acknowledges receipt of their proposal about twenty percent and blesses them with success.

The Rebbe hopes he engages not only in material fundraising but also in igniting neshamas with greater light and vitality, which in turn increases success in fundraising. He encourages extending his stay in Eretz Yisrael to strengthen Chabad matters there and to report back, as well as to clarify about the planned shipment of Chassidus booklets.
