New Weekly Series:
The Rebbe’s Private Counsel
Letters That Change Lives
Every day, large sacks of mail would arrive at 770 Eastern Parkway, the headquarters of Chabad-Lubavitch. Virtually all of it was addressed to one person: the Rebbe.
From around the world, people poured out their hearts in writing, seeking guidance, support, and hope. While many letters focused on communal matters, a significant number came from individuals looking for personal advice on emotional health and inner struggles:
“How do I overcome my loneliness?”
“What should I do if I feel I don’t matter?”
“How can I overcome my anxiety?”
The Rebbe’s Private Counsel offers a life-changing glimpse into the Rebbe’s compassionate and practical advice. Based on the bestselling book Letters for Life, this series reveals the Rebbe’s unique approach to emotional resilience, spiritual well-being, and purposeful living.
Sign up for this all-new program as we explore timeless answers to some of life’s most pressing questions and discover a path to clarity, connection, and healing.
The first email will go out, G-d willing, on the week of June 29.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory (1902-1994), the seventh leader in the Chabad-Lubavitch dynasty, is considered to have been the most phenomenal Jewish personality of modern times.
To hundreds of thousands of followers and millions of sympathizers and admirers around the world, he was — and still is, despite his passing — "the Rebbe," undoubtedly, the one individual more than any other singularly responsible for stirring the conscience and spiritual awakening of world Jewry.

About the Author

About the Book
The quest for peace of mind is universal. It spans every age, class, culture, and background. This book looks for answers in the counsel of a revered Jewish sage and Chasidic master who lived in our times and drew his wisdom from a river stretching all the way back to Mt. Sinai.
Much has been written examining the Rebbe’s innovative teachings and transformative campaigns. This book, however, hones in on a lesser-known area of his vibrant legacy: His insights into emotional health communicated in one-on-one audiences and correspondences.
