Letter & Spirit: Infinite Good Vs. Finite Evil
In this week’s edition of Letter and Spirit, we present a unique letter written by the Rebbe in 1945, while he was still known as the Ramash and was chairman of Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch. In it, the Rebbe thanks a well-known supporter for his generous contributions, and explains the difference between the infinite and unlimited effects of a good deed and the limited qualities of an evil deed, which do not have a lasting existence and are ultimately annulled. The letter was written in English through the Rebbe’s trusted secretary Rabbi Nissan Mindel, and was made available by the latter’s son-in-law, Rabbi Sholom Ber Shapiro.
