English translation — ברכת כ"ק אדמו"ר שליט"א להת' השלוחים שיחיו הנוסעים לישיבה גדולה דיהאנסבורג, דרום אפריקה. יום א' פ' בא, כ"ו טבת ה'תשד"מ.

Your journey should be proper and successful,

and all the matters that were discussed in connection with 24 Teves should be fulfilled

(the yahrtzeit of the Alter Rebbe),

since thereafter there are descendants² and further descendants³ of the Alter Rebbe,

until the end of all generations.

And this should come down in actual deed,

regarding study itself and conduct itself,

for you are the true soldiers of the House of David,

and also "lamps to illuminate"⁵ to bring down all the lights of all the Rebbes,

especially from the baal hahillula of 24 Teves,

and the baal hahillula of the Tenth of Shevat –

into actual deed,

below ten handbreadths,

And all these matters hasten all the more the "achishena"⁶ of the coming of David Melech HaMoshiach,

speedily in our days, literally.

It is stated regarding tzedakah that the closer it is to actual deed,

the stronger the effect of the tzedakah,

as the Gemara⁷ says the difference between tzedakah from a man and tzedakah from a woman.

Therefore, you will be given

(instead of dollars from this country, here),

which one would then need to exchange for currency of the country to which you are traveling,

you will be given) currency of the hemisphere of the country to which you are traveling

(currency from Australia) –

this is closer to

(tzedakah b)

actual deed,

than currency from here.

You will also be given the sichah where it discusses the recitation of "Hareini mekabel alai mitzvas aseh shel ve'ahavta lerei'acha kamocha"

(before prayer)

and "Ach tzadikim go'"

(at the conclusion of prayer),

and it is already printed in Likkutei Sichos,

consequently, it precludes speaking about it again.

[The Rebbe, may he live for many good years, gave to each of the shluchim, may they live, a kuntres "Sichos" of 19 Kislev and Shabbos Parshas Vayeishev,

20 Kislev, and a dollar bill from the hemisphere of South Africa (a bill from Australia).

Afterwards, the Rebbe, may he live for many good years, gave to the parents, may they live, the aforementioned kuntres "Sichos" and a dollar bill

(from here)

and said:

For you

(who are located here)

a dollar

(from here)

is closer to tzedakah in actual deed than a dollar from that hemisphere.

Afterwards, he turned to R. Y. Halevi W., may he live

(who is traveling shortly to South Africa),

and gave him as above to the parents, may they live,

and said to him:

You will be given again for tzedakah –

it should be with new vitality].
