Greetings and Blessings,

I hope that you are growing stronger in your lifestyle which is in accordance with the Torah, called 'the Torah of Life,' as is explained in the Teachings of Chassidus, which is called 'the tree of life.'

Just as in physical life, we see that each circumstance relating to birth, planting and growth is connected to pain, difficulties and overcoming obstacles and challenges.

I thus strongly hope that in your advancing in the path which leads to the House of Hashem, the difficulties that stand in your way should not frighten you, and you will have tremendous success, and from time to time that your commitment to this lifestyle will grow stronger.

In truth, this should be the path of every Jewish person. However, not everyone merits to find it because not everyone merits that the innermost part of his soul and heart will be revealed in all its beauty and glory to influence their daily life.
