5,500 of the Rebbe’s English Letters Now Free Online
Over 5,500 of the Rebbe’s English letters are now free to read, search and share at RebbeResponsa.com, the new website of the Rebbe Responsa project • Full Story
A Chabad high school student struggling with anxiety. A shliach looking for the Rebbe’s guidance on a delicate question. A beginner for whom an original letter of the Rebbe in Hebrew or Yiddish is not yet an option. From academic researchers to mothers, from bochurim in Lubavitcher yeshivos to balebatim in shuls across the world – all can now find the Rebbe’s guidance in his own English letters at RebbeResponsa.com.
The newly launched website brings over 5,500 of the Rebbe’s English letters to the web, free to read. The letters can be searched, browsed by topic, person and date, and shared with a link, straight from any browser, without needing an app.
“For shluchim, the website has special relevance,” said Shimon Gansburg of the Rebbe Responsa team. “Many of the Rebbe’s English letters were written to people with little background in Judaism, the very people shluchim reach every day. In these letters, the Rebbe explains Yiddishkeit in terms such readers can relate to. A shliach can now find what the Rebbe wrote to someone in a similar situation and share it with a member of his community with a single link.”
The collection is the work of Rebbe Responsa, a project that since 2022 has gathered thousands of the Rebbe’s English letters previously scattered across books, private archives and collections, alongside hundreds of newly uncovered, unpublished letters. Beyond gathering the letters, Rebbe Responsa brings them to life with background on the recipients and the circumstances surrounding each letter. Until now, the collection was available only through the Rebbe Responsa app, and the project also publishes weekly booklets of selected letters for communities around the world.
“This new website – and especially the much-anticipated AI search feature – will, b’ezras Hashem, make the Rebbe’s teachings available to every single Yid,” said Chaim Muss of the Rebbe Responsa team.
Visitors can explore the Rebbe’s correspondence across a remarkable range of subjects, including marriage, parenting, health, livelihood, faith, education, and personal growth. Visit RebbeResponsa.com.
