summary

Includes prayer to be recited on behalf of military serviceman. This unique booklet represents an amalgam of American patriotic sentiment and European Chassidic words of comfort and hope. In his pastoral letter, Rabbi Jacob Halberstam, Chakover Rebbe of New York's Lower East Side, summarizes Chassidic teaching in "three great fundamentals, according to Aleph, Beth, Gimel: Amunah (faith), Bitachon (reliance) and Gilah (joy)."
