Greetings and blessings,

..If1 you will heed my advice, you should try to find a Rabbinical position. With regard to what you write: that, until now, you were not able to remain a congregational Rabbi for a prolonged period because [having] a G‑d-fearing Rabbi runs contrary to the spirit of the congregants: On the contrary, that is a reason for you to remain in a congregation and influence them to strengthen themselves in the spirit of Judaism in the study of the Torah and in the observance of mitzvos in actual practice.2

As a general instruction, we have heard that a good medium for success in material and spiritual matters is Torah study. Certainly, you have fixed times for Torah study. I would be interested in knowing what you study. It would also be proper for you to establish fixed times for the study of the teachings of Chassidus. It represents the inner dimensions of the Torah and contributes light and strength to “the light of the Torah and the lamp of mitzvah.”3

With wishes that you and the members of your household establish themselves properly with regard to both material and spiritual matters.
