In honor of the President of Israel, daughter of my eye and heart, Mr. S.Z. Shazar, who desires the clear and pure and bright Truth. Who is wise and understands the real Truth, where it is found. And who lifted up his heart and mind to the Tzaddik. And who removed from himself all his cleverness and intellect against the Tzaddik, the true Sage, the new light, before and after whom no one similar ever has arisen. Who, in the great force of his power, burns, destroys, and nullifies all types of errors and confusions and heresies and false beliefs, and introduces the Truth into the world, and transforms the completely evil into completely righteous, and repairs the whole world with utter perfection.
May Hashem lead you on the straight path to the point of Truth, which is the main resting place and inheritance [an expression for the Holy Temple], without limit or boundary.
My dear brother, my bone and my flesh. Happy you are and good for you that you merited such a great eternal salvation, to be in the portion of our very awesome and exalted Teacher. Also this year you merited, through sacrificing your soul and your honor, to be numbered within the group of his holy gathering on Rosh Hashanah, which counts above all. And there is nothing greater than this.
Please my brother, the desire of my heart, remember well all the things and the wondrous and awesome reasons that you saw with your eyes concerning the revelation of the secret of the great awesomeness of the Tzaddik, the new light, stored away and hidden and concealed from all the worlds.
Be very strong and brave, with all your strength, to steal for yourself a little time every day to look at the words of our awesome Teacher, whose every word is like a letter written to his friend and his student. And they contain all sorts of advice and salvations that we need every day and at all times. And try to build with haste and all your might and spread his wellsprings outward, for he is your life. And if not now then when? The day is short and the work is great. And the main thing is that the time goes and hums and our days are like a passing shadow and nothing will remain for you except whatever truth you snatch in your heart. And if however the Truth is thrown to the ground and it is forbidden to reveal such words to one whose heart is removed from this. Thanks to our G-d that He separated us from the erring, who dispute against such Truth. And for this we have what to rejoice our souls all the time, in everything that occurs to us.
With blessings for a good sealing and a happy Festival [of Succoth]. And I pray always for your peace and success in this world and the Next.
