"...The true bond is created by studying Torah. When you study my maamarim, read the sichot2 and associate with those dear to me - the chassidic community and the tmimim3 - in their studies and farbrengens, and you fulfill my request regarding saying Tehillim* and observing Torah-study times - in this is the bond."

השואל במה היא ההתקשרות שלו אלי מאחר שאין אני מכירו פנים...

...ההתקשרות האמיתית היא ע"י [על ידי] לימוד התורה, כשהוא לומד המאמרי חסידות שלי, קורא את השיחות ומתחבר עם ידידי אנ"ש [אנשי שלומינו] ותלמידי התמימים יחיו בלימודם ובהתוועדותם, ומקיים בקשתי באמירת תהלים ובשמירת זמני הלימודים, הנה בזה היא ההתקשרות.
