== In the Rebbe's Language == * "Distinguished IDF personnel" - and not 'IDF disabled,' which points to the true essence of people who sacrificed their souls for the Jewish people. * "House of healing" - and not 'house of the sick,' named for the true purpose of the institution. * "A Jew who is not (yet) fully observant of Torah and mitzvot" - instead of the term 'secular,' since every Jew is part of a 'holy nation' and cannot change his true essence which is holy and not secular. * "Bringing close those who are distant" - The Rebbe opposed this expression, since no Jew is distant. * "To distinguish regarding Jews" - There is separation only between Israel and the nations, but not between one Jew and another (no matter what state he is in). * "By chance" - nothing is by chance, everything is by Divine providence. * "Another place" - There is no Jew who is in another place, because Hashem is present everywhere. * "Euphemistic language" - Instead of describing a certain situation in a negative way, the Rebbe describes it in reverse language such as "not in an upward trend," so as not to give strength in speech to the non-positive trend. * "Opposite of life" - The Rebbe avoided expressing that a person who died is dead, but used the expression "opposite of life."
