Continuing the recent discussion regarding the matter of,

and 'the living one will take to heart'¹,

And as in everything, and especially in a primary matter — in connection with action which is the main thing — surely one should elevate the birthday,

S.

"his mazal prevails"⁵,

so that through this there will be an increase in matters of Judaism,

Hora and twisted ones.

And in the introduction — that in addition to the fact that every matter of a particular individual in Israel pertains to all of Israel,

and even pertains to the entire world•¹,

as our Sages, of blessed memory, said•.

Every single person is obligated to say, 'For me the world was created',

this matter is most emphasized in connection and relation to the day

(the birth)

25 Adar:

According to Rabbi Yehoshua⁵ —.

In Nisan the world was created"•,

That is,

that the creation of Adam HaRishon

was on the first of Nissan,

And therefore,

the first day of Creation —.

All the products of heaven and earth were created on the first day, and each one was fixed on the day decreed for it — that is, the 25th of Adar.

Thus,

that the 25th of Adar is.

the birthday of all of creation,

heaven and earth and all their hosts,

all together.

"Heaven" and "earth" spiritual,

the entire order of the chain of descent.

And in particular according to the known•

(based on what is explained in Tosafos⁵)

through the intermediation of the twenty opinions

(,

"these¹ and these are the words of the living G-d")

that in Nissan it arose in thought to create but was not created until Tishrei,

And according to this,

There is an elevation in the manner of creation in Nissan

(25 Adar)

regarding the manner of creation in Tishrei

(25 Elul)

— the elevation of thought over action.

And one should add,

that in the creation of Nissan

(25 Adar)

There is an additional elevation — since in Nisan the Mishkan was established, through which the existence of the world was brought about,

as our Sages, of blessed memory, said:

before it was established

The Mishkan was the world trembling; when the Mishkan was erected, the world was established".

And with extra emphasis in the determination of this year — that the 25th of Adar falls in Parshat Vayikra⁴-,

,

And He called to Moshe and Hashem spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying"",

i.e.,

as the Mishkan works its effect".

B.

And regarding the practical — the result comes to add a good custom

(and possibly for one who desires it — for the merit and elevation of her soul)

Regarding the manner of conduct on the birthday:

His Holy Honor, my father-in-law, the Rebbe, publicized to everyone about the order of conduct for a birthday

(which in previous generations was known only to select individuals)

—,

to raise his memories and contemplate them, and what needs correction and repentance, he will return and correct them."".

And similarly, the custom is to increase in giving charity before the morning and afternoon prayers.

(And when the birthday falls on Shabbos or Yom Tov — they give on the day before it.)

,

and an additional measure in Torah study,

Nigleh and Chassidus•-.

And accordingly,

it is most advisable and proper to publicize

(even more)

This custom among all Jews,

that,

on the birthday they add in Torah, prayer and charity,

the three pillars on which

the world stands",

beginning from,

"this small world is man",

And they will accept good resolutions that during the coming year, with the help of God, they will increase in matters of Torah and mitzvot.

And in addition —

(A)

that it is most advisable and proper that each and every one should hold a joyous farbrengen on his birthday•²,

together with his household,

or also his friends and acquaintances etc.,

so that the acceptance of the good resolutions

(without a vow)

on his birthday

(when his mazal is dominant)

will be in a manner of joy,

so that through this there will be increase also in fulfilling the good resolutions with joy and vitality²²,

(2)

that this matter concerns and applies to each and every one,

both men and women,

and also children,

even the youngest of the young — through their parents,

and certainly after they reach an appropriate level of understanding,

when they can and should be explained to them

(in a style that they understand and relates to them)

that on a birthday there must be innovation and increase in all matters of goodness and holiness,

And in a manner that they too will celebrate the birthday through a joyous farbrengen,

together with their friends

(and girls — with their friends)

²².

Sunday,

25 Adar

And with extra emphasis regarding the children — that by nature they receive everything with excitement and enthusiasm,

something that will also influence their brothers and sisters to yearn for a birthday celebration in a suitable manner.

[And to add and to note,

which,

in such a case there is no room for the question 'how is it possible to add new customs?' — because,

in addition to the fact that this is not a new custom

(as if new)

,

behold,

when it is discussed and emphasized about addition in matters of Torah and its commandments,

And from joy of a mitzvah and joy of Torah,

through a farbrengen of friends•² and blessings of crowns one to another²⁵

(And particularly in this year — the year of Hakhel,

.

Hakhel*² the people, the men and the women and the children"²,

and the year 5748 — will revive and gladden)

,

It is understood and also simple,

that all who increase in,

additions and,

such "innovations" are praiseworthy)

.

3.

And in order to begin immediately with a good deed and

(in connection with the birthday of the Rebbe* Adar)

— one must begin with something that is immediately possible and equal for every soul etc. — with the mitzvah of charity•²,

to give to each one

(men, women, and children)

a mitzvah-mission to give charity²

(how good — on that very day)

,

and with an addition from his own.

And may it be His will that the acceptance of good resolutions in connection with matters of birthday — hasten and speed even more the birth of the Jewish people in complete perfection, as the true and complete redemption

(as is known⁵⁰ that exile is compared to pregnancy and redemption to birth)

.

And in particular through adding in the mitzvah of charity —,

Great is charity, which brings the redemption closer"⁵¹,

very soon,

,

Today, if you listen to His voice"⁵²,

,

Today" in its plain sense,

And until that,

The Omnipresent did not delay them even for the blink of an eye"⁵⁵,

and,

night

(the night of exile — Tammuz-Y)

will shine like the day"⁵.

This conduct,

and we will cast • and the main point — the good decisions,

their birthday

(of the parents)

.

to also note from the conclusion and seal of Shulchan Aruch HaRav.

•Torah Chaim"

(Nirma,

Ashi,

•Here I am, Israel, doves wandering height",

which alludes to conduct according to the rulings of the Halacha)

Enlightened life we go day —.

Do for us a perpetual feast•

and it is said from the received tradition

(Lo LaD Yam,

And it is further emphasized in the days of preparation for the festival of Pesach,

There is emphasized more the matter of the education of the children!

(See also above, Sichas Shmos Vayikra <ס״ע 329 and so on)

)

.

28)

To note from the special connection of tzedakah to the creation of the world.

(25th of Adar)

— since "the mitzvah of tzedakah is truly a commandment of G-d, which the Holy One, blessed be He, Himself performs to enliven the worlds, etc."

(Iggeret HaKodesh, sec. 17)
