Vaad '''Sichos in English''' (abbreviated as SIE) is the official publishing house for Chabad literature in English, functioning as an independent branch of Kehot Publication Society under its name.

= History =
The Vaad's activities began in 5738 (1978) by a group of bochurim who felt personally responsible to address the growing need to make the teachings of our Rebbeim accessible to American mekuravim who couldn't learn Chassidus directly due to the language barrier.

This group started unofficially translating the Rebbe's sichos and distributing them throughout the Crown Heights Chabad community so they could share the translations with their mekuravim and contacts.

As demand for the translations grew, the group became more established, receiving their official name 'Vaad Sichos in English', and setting up in an office at 788 Eastern Parkway near 770, the Chabad World Headquarters.

Rabbi Yonah Avtzon took on leadership of the Vaad, with the main translators being Rabbi Eliyahu Touger, Rabbi Yosef Loebenstein, and Rabbi Sholom Ber Hecht.

In 5746 (1986), under Rabbi Uri Kaploun and Rabbi Sholom Ber Weinberg's supervision, the organization expanded to translate not just the Rebbe's original sichos but additional Chabad texts from other Chabad Rebbeim, as well as Chassidic stories and philosophical works by contemporary Chassidim.
