Weekly Letter: In Praise of Young Israel
This week, we present a letter from the Rebbe to Rabbi Benjamin Blech of Yeshiva University, a well known lecturer and Jewish leader, in which he encourages Rabbi Blech in his exemplary work for yiddishkeit – specifically for taharas ha’mishpacha – and in general praises Young Israel – analyzing the significance of its name. A second letter from the Rebbe to “Mr. Young Israel,” R’ Yitzchok Meir Bunim, is included as well. The letters, written originally in English, are from the archives of the Rebbe’s personal trusted secretary, Rabbi Nissan Mindel.
