By the Grace of G‑d
21st of Tammuz, 5715 [July 11, 1955]
Brooklyn, N.Y.
Sholom u’Brocho:
I received your letter, requesting a prayer for ---- who is expecting a child in the near future. In your next letter please mention her Hebrew name and the Hebrew name of mother.
I suggest that the Mezuzoth in her home should be checked for Kashruth. Also that in addition to the custom of putting a small coin into a Tzedoko Pushke before lighting the candles, which she surely observes, she should put a small coin into the box every weekday morning until after delivery in a happy and auspicious hour.
With regard to the battle with the Yezter, you should ask the Rabbi learning Chassiduth with you, to learn with you out of the Tanya from the beginning of chapter 41 until p. 112, second line ("K'oimed Lifnei Hamelech"). This section you should try to learn well until you know it by heart, and should repeat it often either by word or in thought, especially at times when you find it necessary to turn the battle in your favor.
I trust that you surely observe to say Tehillim every morning after the prayer, and give a small coin to Tzedoko every weekday morning before prayer.
The enclosed booklet "The Three Weeks" is of timely importance, and perhaps you will share it with your friends.
With blessing,
Did you take part, as well as your friends, in any 12-13 Tammuz get-together?
