Greetings and blessings,

I received your participation in the maos chittim campaign through my friend, your Rosh Yeshivah, the chassidic mentor, R. Sholom Posner.

I am happy to see that you have not forgotten your brethren both in this country and overseas, and have stepped up to help them according to your potential.

You are certainly aware that at the beginning of the Seder, the children take the position of prominence, asking Mah Nishtanah. Also, the Haggadah speaks of four types of children: “One who is wise….” In general, children who study are not included in the category of those who do not know how to ask or who are simple. So that one belongs to the category of “One who is wise,” however, it is necessary to study the Torah with frumkeit and conduct oneself in a frum manner. Nevertheless, since there is no upper limit to wisdom, I wish you ongoing progress in your studies so that much satisfaction will be derived from you.

Please convey to your parents my wish for a kosher and happy Pesach, and the same [wish is extended] to all of you.

With blessings for success in the study of the Torah with the fear of Heaven,

M. Schneerson
