Blessing and Greeting:

I was pleased to receive your individual letters and, as requested, I will remember each and every one of you in prayer for the fulfillment of your hearts’ desires for good and, above all, for Hatzlocho in your studies and daily conduct.

Inasmuch as you wrote your letters only a few days before Shovuos, the Festival of Mattan Torah, I trust that you surely know what our Sages of blessed memory relate about the Giving of the Torah at Sinai, namely: That G‑d gave the Torah to all our people Israel only after they made the children the guarantors for its study and observance in the daily life. It is therefore very clear and self-evident how important it is for Jewish children, boys as well as girls, to study the Torah with devotion and diligence and to conduct themselves in the daily life in accordance with its Mitzvos and teachings. And when there is such a determination, we have also the assurance that G‑d helps one from Above.

I send each and every one my prayerful wishes that you should go from strength to strength in the above direction, and that you should with true pride justify the title of every Jewish daughter—a daughter of Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel and Leah, the Mothers of our Jewish people.

With blessing,
