Two lengthy letters (6 written pages) handwritten and signed by R. Yitzchak Hutner. [Brooklyn, NY], Sivan-Av 1959.
Profound words of guidance and thought on the "laws of character traits and duties of the heart". The letters are addressed to his disciple, R. Yaakov Lipschitz. From the first letter, it emerges that the recipient of the letter attends R. Hutner's discourses, since the latter writes: "…in the first section, you transcribed what you heard during the discourse…". Typically, R. Hutner concludes this first letter with uplifting words of encouragement: "…I wish to inform you that I very much enjoyed reading your letter, which testifies like a hundred witnesses to your inner thirst to light up your soul with the laws of character traits and duties of the heart, since only through them can a person worship G-d with vibrant faith and wholeheartedness. Be strong and continue acquiring an abundance of Torah treasures, which are more precious than gold and jewels…". The second letter also opens and concludes with words of inspiration: "…your words indicate a good grasp of our teachings of lofty concepts. Such comprehension is only possible for someone who has a thirst and yearning for the light of Torah… May you be successful and cling to the tree of life of the laws of character traits and duties of the heart.
R.Yitzchak Hutner (1906-1980), outstanding Torah scholar, studied in his youth in the Slabodka yeshiva in Lithuania and in Hebron. In 1932, he published the book Torat HaNazir, which amazed the Torah world with the original scholarly depth produced by such a young man. Two weeks after his marriage, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and settled in the Rehavia neighborhood of Jerusalem, where he resided for one year. In 1934, he moved to the United States, where he served as dean of Metivta Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin in NY for many years and as one of the heads of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah in the United States. He was renowned for his thought-provoking halachic lectures and for his intellectual discourses on the laws of character traits and duties of the heart, delivered to a few select individuals, and later published in the Pachad Yitzchak series.

These letters were published (with minor copying errors) in Pachad Yitzchak – Igrot UKetavim, letters 24 and 25.
