Igrot Kodesh · Letter 3080 — Grief & Loss

B"H

5 Kislev* 5715,
Brooklyn.

Greetings and blessing,

I reply to your letter of 27/11, in which you inform me of the weakness of your study and the loss of your time.

One of the remedies for this situation is the following. One must study with at least one other person. On the one hand, one acquires Torah by attaching oneself to friends. Moreover, the fact of being with someone else has the consequence of being more involved and more resolute.

This is also the case if one does not always study with the same person or with the same few people. Even if it is always someone different, this remains preferable to being alone. And nothing can withstand the will.

You also inform me of the condition of your wife and I therefore reiterate my blessing. May Hashem cause her pregnancy to go well, that she give birth in its time and with ease.

With my blessing,
