'''The Long Letter''' (Yiddish: '''דער לאַנגער בריוו''', ''Der Langer Briv'') is the informal name given to a letter written by the [[Frierdiker Rebbe]] (the Previous Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn) to his daughter [[Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson]] in 1935. The letter recounts the story of Rabbi [[Mordechai the Righteous]], a disciple of the [[Baal Shem Tov]], and his mission to bring two old friends — Rabbi [[Yissachar Ber of Lubavitch]], who would later become one of the teachers of the [[Alter Rebbe]], and Rabbi [[Chaim the Recluse]], who would later draw Rabbi [[Avraham of Kalisk]] into Chassidus — back to their master and to the path of Chassidic teaching.
