B"H, 18 Marcheshvan, 5718

Brooklyn.

Brachah v'Shalom!

We acknowledge receipt of your letter of 11 Cheshvan. And, understandably, the close of your letter is surprising: that with regard to Nshei Chabad you do not see in practice what you have to add or to do.

Is not הלא כל הארץ לפניך "the whole land before you" (Bereishis 13:9), the whole Holy Land, before Nshei Chabad? For in matters of holiness, however good the situation may be, there is always room to do and to add, since holiness is without limit, etc. But the saying of our Sages, of blessed memory, is known: אין צועקין על העבר "one does not cry out over the past" (cf. Berachos 54a: "one who cries out over what has already happened, this is a prayer in vain"). And since you continue that you will consider what you can do in this with regard to the future, that is the main thing that matters now.

May it be G‑d's will that the above bring about the expansion of the activities of Nshei uBnos Chabad in many, many fields, since it is the necessity of the hour, and אין לך דבר העומד בפני הרצון "nothing stands in the way of the will" (cf. Zohar II 162b).

With blessing,

In the name of the Rebbe, may he live long and good days,

Secretary

Summary

This letter tells a woman who saw nothing more to do for Nshei Chabad that in holiness there is always room to add: the past is not to be cried over, but her resolve to consider what she can do from now on can expand the work in many fields, for nothing stands in the way of the will.
