Editing The English Language (section)

==== Books ====
When the Rebbe arrived in the United States, he was appointed by the Previous Rebbe as chairman of the Chabad publishing house Kehot, and was asked to oversee the publication of English texts for children, alongside publishing the teachings of the leaders of Chabad Chassidus.

Initially, the Rebbe worked on editing accurate translations of basic prayer passages and blessings, and later on editing a daily calendar for children (published both for the year 5703 and 5704), and monthly content booklets for children, in addition to occasional special prospectuses and various publications in English.

In 5738 (1978), the Sichos in English committee was established, designed to meet the growing demand for Jewish texts in English, intended for the higher level of English-speaking audiences interested in overcoming language limitations and studying the Rebbe's teachings and philosophy.

This institution, under the direction of Rabbi Yonah Avtzon, became the official publishing house for Chabad literature in English, and serves as an independent branch of Kehot Publication Society operating under its name.

In 5746 (1986), the organization's activities expanded, and besides translating the Rebbe's original sichos, it began translating additional Chabad texts from the teachings of other Chabad Rebbes, as well as Chassidic stories and books of thought and philosophy by contemporary Chassidim.
