An exchange of letters between the Rebbe and a young child from Crown Heights is making its rounds on the web because of a single line.
Mrs. Shulamis Saxon, then an 11-year-old girl, penned a hand-written letter to the Rebbe in 5742. Her letter was written in Hebrew, although she did add in English and in large letters “I Want Moshiach Now,” the slogan often recited at children’s rallies during that time.
She added in the end of her letter, a sincere blessing to the Rebbe. Embarrassed for the Rebbe’s secretariat to read it as well, she wrote it as a coded message, exchanging each letter she wanted to write with the next letter of the alef-beis.
“My blessing to the Rebbe that he will have children although it was not decreed for him,” she wrote.
What was even more surprising was the Rebbe’s response.
Beautiful and so heart warming, thank you for sharing!
#4 and #10–I love you too, all my Talmidos @ YSOP!!
#5–I’m really touched by your words, Morah P. May you always Shep Nachas from all your students!
It truly is a Zechus to share this with everyone. May the Geulah Ha’Amitis V’HaShleimah be revealed now, to bring us to perfect Achdus!
Tears to my eyes.
Thank you for sharing.
Very beautiful – just sincere and pure – and that’s what’s inspiring about it. Let’ show it to all the twelve year olds.
what an amzing story!
May we be zoche that the “code” of golus be broken immediately and that we all be reunited with the Rebbe in Yerushalayim!
Wow, that was very inspiring, brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you for inspiring us all.
Thank you for showing us how much the Rebbe love us all.

Beautiful story!

Shulamis- what a wonderful zchus you have.
I can just imagine Alex coming up with that coding idea, although he was still so young. And for you to pursue your desire to bench the Rebbe, yet maintaining your respect of him by doing it in such a manner, speaks so well of the Shulamis I know.
May you continue to reap much naches from your family for many years to come. kol tuv bigur
