(Several people wrote this letter. Some parts are in Yiddish, some in Polish. I suggest you also post this letter under the Polish language section)

Yiddish:
My dear children. We received your postcard. I am not at all capable of expressing with my pen the joy we feel right now when we receive a letter from you. But we are very worried about Miriam because we haven't gotten anything for several months already. I beg you my dear child write me what is happening with her. Here with us everything is the same as usual. Rivka and Itka have jobs and we are living. I end my writing with the wish that the eternal should give you a good year which is the wish of your father Yakov. Warm regards from Simcha's parents. I was at their home today. They wish you a good year.

Polish writing ----

Yiddish: Be well from your sister Ziskka

Polish writing ----

Yiddish: I greet and kiss my dear children and grandchildren from your mother Sheyna. I wish you all a good year

Along the right side, Polish ----

Along the left side, Yiddish: From me your bobba.

The first Polish entry is signed Rivka. The only part I can read are the first few words, I am healthy.

I suggest the sister's name is Tsipkeh ציפקע not Ziska.
