==== The Rebbe's Letters in English ==== Unlike most Chabad texts in English, which are published as translations of the Rebbe's words, there is a wide range of letters the Rebbe wrote to various individuals originally in English. The uniqueness of these letters lies in the special expressions woven throughout them, as the use of the English language "forced" the Rebbe to use the first person in many places and refer to himself more directly, which is rare in Igros Kodesh in Yiddish and Hebrew. These letters are published in two parallel series, one printed chronologically by year (published by the Sichos in English committee; in 5774 (2014) a parallel series in Hebrew began translating these letters by the editorial staff of Beis Moshiach weekly), and the second categorized by subject, published by the family of Rabbi Nissan Mindel who was entrusted by the Rebbe to type and edit the letters according to what the Rebbe dictated to him (this series is published in Hebrew translation under the title "Guide for the Perplexed Generation").
