Since the Rebbe's arrival in the United States in 5701 (1941), he began, at the instruction of his father-in-law the Rebbe Rayatz, to hold farbrengens with chassidim at 770 every Shabbos Mevorchim. Starting from the passing of the Rebbe Rayatz in 5710 (1950), the talks given at these farbrengens and on other occasions were transcribed by several students of the yeshiva at 770, and some were even edited by him and distributed worldwide, though not in a regular or organized manner. This practice continued even after his acceptance of the nesius (leadership). | Since the Rebbe's arrival in [[United States|the United States]] in 5701 (1941), he began, at the instruction of his father-in-law [[the Rebbe Rayatz]], to hold farbrengens with chassidim at 770 every Shabbos Mevorchim.

Towards Shavuos 5718 (1958), Tzeirei Agudas Chabad approached the Rebbe and requested that he edit one of his sichos from previous years on the weekly parsha each week, to provide material for chassidim to share Chassidus in synagogues in New York. The Rebbe agreed, and from then on, booklets began to appear weekly that were then called "Table of Contents for Sharing Dach in Synagogues." These sichos were published for a year, until Shavuos 5719 (1959). Later, in celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Rebbe and Rebbetzin's wedding, these sichos were printed together in two volumes as a gift to the Rebbe. | Towards Shavuos 5718 (1958), Tzeirei Agudas Chabad approached the Rebbe and requested that he edit one of his sichos from previous years on the weekly parsha each week, to provide material for chassidim to share Chassidus in synagogues in New York.
