Never before has the need for emotional wellness been felt so viscerally. In the roaring cacophony of the 21st Century, how can one find inner tranquility?
Letters for Life explores the private correspondences of the Lubavitcher Rebbe with ordinary individuals in the midst of heartbreak, loss, fear, and confusion.
With startling clarity, boundless empathy, and timeless wisdom, the Rebbe’s voice pierces through the noise—guiding readers towards health, hope, and healing.
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.
The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of saintly memory, is widely known for his central role in reviving Jewish life in the wake of the Holocaust. After living through czarist pogroms and the rise of communism, he escaped the Nazi inferno and established his home in New York City, where he shared the secrets of Jewish mysticism and the riches of traditional Jewish practice. As the seventh Rebbe of the Chabad-Lubavitch dynasty, he taught spiritual values of self-refinement, love, and prayer, and mentored hundreds of thousands who came to his humble synagogue in Brooklyn to imbibe his Chasidic wisdom and piety.
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.
