יוֹם הוּלֶּדֶת אֶת כְּבוֹד קְדוּשַׁת אַדְמוּ"ר שְׁלִיטָ"א בִּשְׁנַת תּר"ם
[This date marks] the birthday of the Rebbe Rayatz in 5640 (1880).
יוֹם בּוֹ נִתְבַּשֵּׂר — בִּשְׁנַת תּרפ"ז — שֶׁהוּא חָפְשִׁי מִגָּלוּתוֹ אֲשֶׁר הָגְלָה
On this date, in 5687 (1927), he was informed of his impending release from the exile
אַחֲרֵי שֶׁהָיָה תָּפוּס בְּמַאֲסָר — עַל עֲבוֹדָתוֹ בְּחִזוּק הַתּוֹרָה וְהַיַּהֲדוּת
that followed his imprisonment, which came in the wake of his efforts to buttress the study and observance of the Torah.
מִמִּכְתַּב כְּבוֹד קְדוּשַּׁת אַדְמוּ"ר שְׁלִיטָ"א
From a letter of the Rebbe [Rayatz]:
בִּשְׁנֵי יְמֵי הַגְּאוּלָה י"ב וי"ג תַּמּוּז הַבָּאִים עָלֵינוּ לְטוֹבָה
On the two days of redemption — the twelfth and the thirteenth of Tammuz (May they arrive favorably!) —
יִתְוַעֲדוּ אַנְשֵׁי שְׁלוֹמֵינוּ, לְטוֹבָה וְלִבְרָכָה בְּגַשְׁמִיּוּת וּבְרוּחָנִיּוּת
the members of the chassidic brotherhood should participate in a farbrengen, for their material and spiritual benefit,
כַּאֲשֶׁר הוּקְבַּע מֵאֵת אָבִינוּ הָרִאשׁוֹן הוֹד כְּבוֹד קְדוּשַּׁת אַאַזְמוּ"ר רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן
in the manner instituted by our first forefather, the Alter Rebbe.
זֵכֶר צַדִּיק וְקָדוֹשׁ לִבְרָכָה לְחַיֵּי הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא, נִשְׁמָתוֹ בְּגִנְזֵי מְרוֹמִים, זְכוּתוֹ יָגֵן עָלֵינוּ
The memory of the righteous and holy is a blessing for the life of the world to come, his soul is in the treasuries of the heavens, his merit will protect us.
בְּהִתְוַעֲדוּת זוּ יְדַבְּרוּ אַנְשֵׁי שְׁלוֹמֵינוּ שֶׁיִחְיוּ אִישׁ אֶת רֵעֵהוּ בְּשֶׁבֶת אַחִים
At this farbrengen they should encourage each other, fraternally,
בְּחִזוּק קְבִיעוּת שִׁעוּרֵי הַלִּמוּד
to fix times for [Torah] study sessions.
וְהִנְנִי שׁוֹלֵחַ לָהֶם אֶת בִּרְכָתִי כִּי יִשָּׂא הַשֵּׁם פָּנָיו אֲלֵיהֶם בְּגַשְׁמִיוּת וְרוּחָנִיוּת
And I send you my blessing that G‑d “turn His countenance to you” in both material and spiritual matters.
