Editing Days of Vacation (section)

== American Product Speaks About Yichuda Ila'ah ==
There are bochurim here going on shlichus (during summer vacation) to bring Jews closer, as has been customary in recent years.

Since 12 Tammuz is a segulah day to "draw down" all illuminations and influences regarding Torah and mitzvos - they must draw strength from this day for their shlichus to succeed, both what they accomplish consciously and what is accomplished through them unconsciously.

One of the tmimim who went on shlichus spoke fluent English and explained concepts in Yiddishkeit and Chassidus. He spoke about yichuda tata'ah and yichuda ila'ah, while walking his tzitzis was visible from his garment's corner. Also "peeking" from behind his ear was a "peyah" from his sidelock. One of the city's Jews (where this young man spoke) was interested in the bochur's origins - whether he was from Poland or Galicia. When told he wasn't European at all but rather an "American product", born in Boston - this greatly impressed him: a Jewish bochur, Boston-born, speaking fluent English, discussing yichuda tata'ah and yichuda ila'ah?! Though he couldn't fully grasp these concepts, he understood they were very lofty matters requiring several college degrees to comprehend...

That tamim-shliach knew nothing about this Jew. The "peyah" that "peeked out" was due to the heat that day in that place, which caused him to remove his hat, and since the wind was blowing - his sidelock flew slightly, and his visible tzitzis was merely due to carelessness...

The bochur who went on shlichus and spoke what he spoke didn't think at all about the Jew who was interested in him, but it deeply affected that person. The first benefit from this encounter was that to the first tzedakah collector ("meshulach") who came to this Jew's home - he donated a larger sum than ever before. Later they began speaking with him and influencing him regarding kashrus, Shabbos observance etc. Gradually he drew closer to Yiddishkeit, while that bochur who caused this - knows nothing about it to this very day.

Since these trips are the Rebbe's shlichus, it's as if the Rebbe travels with them. Therefore in matters requiring internal influence, they need to know about it, since they must speak with others. However, regarding the Rebbe's makif influence, the shliach doesn't necessarily need to know what resulted from this shlichus.

Since 12 Tammuz is a segulah day, they should "draw" strength for this from 12 Tammuz (the Rebbe hinted the shluchim should say l'chaim).
