We are pleased to present Issue 135 of Rebbe Responsa, a compilation of letters originally authored by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in English, culled from the Rebbe Responsa app.
The letters in this issue focus on the message of the Chanukah Menorah. They explore the symbolism of transforming physical objects into sacred light, the mandate for continuous growth represented by the nightly increase of candles, and the call to illuminate the world. Together, these letters reveal the Rebbe’s profound teachings on Chanukah and their deep insights into daily Jewish life and our mission in this world.
In honor of Chanukah, we have included an expanded “Newly Released” section featuring four previously unpublished letters from the Rebbe on the holiday.
All Titles, Summaries, and Footnotes were added by the publisher unless otherwise noted.

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 letters organized by both topic and date, the app makes finding the Rebbe’s guidance and worldview simple and accessible.
May the study of these letters hasten the coming of Moshiach speedily in our days.
