Trust the Divine hand. *** The Maaser Sheni was holy but came from plain produce. *** The Jewish people are compared to the moon for they receive their life from G‑d. *** All the prayer letters were received. *** A call to establish Chabad Houses worldwide. In Eretz Yisrael — inauguration of “770” in Kfar Chabad. Women loved the land, now too, they should request the redemption.
