A Thought for the Week - Book Design

When A Thought for the Week first appeared in 1967, Chabad-Lubavitch was still a newcomer on the American Jewish scene. At a time when few of the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s teachings were accessible in English, this groundbreaking series—distilled and adapted by Rabbi Yitschak Meir Kagan—offered Jews across the country a clear and inspiring window into Chassidic thought. What began as short essays in Jewish newspapers and broadcasts on radio and TV soon reached tens of thousands of households nationwide. Each week, readers found a message that was concise yet profound, mystical yet practical—an invitation to bring Torah values into everyday life. Now, for the first time, the complete collection of A Thought for the Week (1968–1982) is presented in this volume. At once nostalgic and fresh, these essays remain a source of clarity and inspiration, capturing the Rebbe’s call to spread the wellsprings of Chassidus outward—until they reach every Jewish home and heart.
