He notes that his disciples are having difficulties getting the required documents and are in danger of being deported from Poland if they do no get them, ‘since we will be unable to get the documents for them due to the strict requirements and the excessive hate to our people … life under such conditions are difficult G-d have mercy". Rabbi Yoel Shurin adds blessings for the marriage of his disciple and condolences for his parents’ passing. "Blessed is the man who needs no comfort since he experienced nothing bad, however, never yet has such a man been born on this earth … do not be discouraged do not postpone anything good and any material and spiritual effort…"
