The (sacred) letter beginning Potchin bivracha[1] was written ten years before the letter which begins Katonti.[2]

Compiled and arranged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, in 5703 (1943) from the talks and letters of the sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory.

"We begin with a blessing..."; this letter is the first in Igeret Hakodesh ("Sacred Epistles"), Part IV of Tanya, and is the Tanya Torah-lesson for the day.

"I have become small..."; second letter in Igeret Hakodesh, written by the Alter Rebbe on his return from his arrest in Petersburg (in 5559).
