The distribution of the Rebbe's talks began at the end of 1950, even before he officially accepted leadership, with the goal of spreading his teachings among Chassidim worldwide and helping Anash communities better know the Rebbe and request that he accept leadership. Among the early leaders in distributing the talks was [[Reb Yoel Kahan|Rabbi Yoel kahn]], who continued working on transcribing the Rebbe's words throughout the years.

From the Rebbe's side, the review of talks within the "Likkutei Sichos" framework began around Shavuot 1958. The Rebbe agreed to review a talk so it could be shared in synagogues as part of community gatherings. The initiators were Tzeirei Agudas Chabad in the United States. Initially, Rabbi Uriel Tzimmer (Parts 1-2) and Rabbi Yoel kahn (Parts 3-4) worked on the talks.
