Typed Letter Signed, in Yiddish, on personal letterhead, written to R. Yekuthiel (Sam) Kramer concerning activities to strengthen religion among Jewish youth.

Written during the course of the Rebbe’s visit to North America. Requests work should be coordinated with other organizations such as Young Israel, Tifereth Bachurim, Bnei Poland, Bnei Galicia, Bnei Ungarn, Adath Bnei Israel, etc. In addition to a religious awakening, youth should be encouraged to assist their co-religionists in the Soviet Union. In poetic language the Rebbe explains how such activity will bring joy to souls on High, who will see their grandchildren seeking to reach to other Jews. The Rebbe goes into much organizational detail, relating to fund-raising and recruiting personnel of the required talent. Written to attorney Sam Kramer, a key figure in establishing the organizational presence of Chabad-Lubavitch in the United States.
