Greeting and Blessing:

On occasion of the forthcoming Yom Tov Pesach, I send you my prayerful wishes that the Festival of Our Freedom bring you and yours true freedom, freedom from anxiety material and spiritual, from anything which might distract from serving G‑d wholeheartedly and with joy, and to carry over this freedom and joy into the whole year.

Wishing you and yours a kosher and happy Pesach,

P.S. It was a pleasant surprise for me to see you in Shul on Shabbos after the davening. Although the time was not opportune for a conversation and inquiry after the well-being of your family, the very fact of seeing a good friend, especially in a place of Torah and Tefilla, and having davened together, is in itself a matter of personal gratification.

I trust you shared the same feeling, and as it has been said, "As water reflects a face, so does one heart reflect another."
