Gird up your loins like a warrior, my dear brother, to strengthen yourself with all power, with all your might to make your soul very happy. And rely on the strength of the Elder of Holiness, the Elder of Elders. For he goes before us always, at all times, and transforms everything to the good, sins to merits, and shines on us the light of the Blessed G-d also in the strength of this overpowering and bitter darkness that is occuring now.

Please remember, my beloved brother, the amazing and awesome kindness, without end or limitation, that Hashem Yisborach did with you to draw you near to the light of lights, so holy and awesome, to linger in the shadow of his holiness and to be involved with his holy words. Delve into them, delve into them: into every lesson and every sermon. For sure you will be able to vitalize yourself always, and to vitalize others, with the precious and sweet treasures of your very precious and high soul, with your exhorting explanations, with your fiery words, and with the spirit of your warm heart, like a flame, transforming the light of truth amongst men of science and amongst the multitudes of the young generation. I am sure that through your heart being so strong with the truth, Hashem will give you a long life, a good life, and you will succeed and merit this in the merit and strength of the Tzaddik, who is the True King of all Israel for all generations.

Know and believe with complete faith that no word and no light action is ever lost, and even a general awakening and a good thought is not ever lost. For as soon as a person is aroused with a general arousal to holiness, and all the more so when he performs an act of holiness, then immediately the True Tzaddik, who works to repair the souls of Israel, grabs it and takes it into the place that he takes it for the sake of the wondrous and awesome building that he toils to build: to bring into there all the outcasts in the world. And not a single one of them will be left outside.

Seeking your peace with feelings of love and yearning.

Yisroel Dov Odesser
