We hereby present Issue 112 of Rebbe Responsa, a compilation of letters originally authored by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in English, culled from the Rebbe Responsa app.
In this week’s issue, titled A Jewish Vacation, we find the Rebbe’s clear and consistent message about how vacation time should be used. Just as the heart never stops beating, a Jew’s connection to Torah must remain constant — even during rest and travel. At the same time, the Rebbe notes that summer brings unique opportunities for growth that should not be missed. The final letter, included in connection with Yud-Beis Tammuz, highlights the role of bitachon — deep trust in G-d — as a steady source of strength in every circumstance.
In the coming weeks, we hope to publish additional booklets focused on topics related to the summer months, including camp, travel, and more.

The Rebbe's English letters represent a little-known facet of the Rebbe's Torah, containing profound wisdom and practical guidance expressed in clear, accessible language. We encourage you to download the Rebbe Responsa app, which offers the only comprehensive collection of the Rebbe's English letters available to date. With over 5,000 organized by both topic and date, the app makes finding the Rebbe’s guidance and opinion simple and accessible.
We take this opportunity to urge anyone in possession of English letters from the Rebbe to please consider sharing them with us. Every letter is unique — and may be exactly what someone else needs to see.
