Dear Kehot Friend,
Today is 9 Adar II, a watershed day in Jewish history. On this day, in 1940, the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, arrived in the Unites States, after a miraculous rescue from Nazi occupied Poland. He immediately declared that “America is no different than Europe” and sets out to make America a place of Torah and mitzvah observance.
In 1941, his son-in-law, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, joined him in the United States.
A year later, the sixth Rebbe passed the leadership of his newly established publishing house, Kehot Publication Society, to his son-in-law, the eventual seventh Rebbe.
And the rest is history.
In establishing the Kehot Publication Society, the Rebbe created the vehicle through which nine generations of Chasidic wisdom and inspiration are disseminated, igniting a fire that warms and inspires the hearts and minds of millions, till this very day.
As a devotee of Kehot—whether you were surrounded with Kehot publications all your life, or if you are newcomer to the spiritual richness of the vast Kehot catalog of life-boosting books—you undoubtedly appreciate Kehot’s profound impact on your life.
During the last several years, we have, thank G-d, been growing and expanding our publishing, resulting in the vital need to expand our infrastructure.
I am excited to announce the upcoming purchase of a warehouse and distribution center—a vital step in ensuring a home base for the smooth dissemination of our books worldwide.
With your generous donation, we will establish a centralized hub that will streamline operations, reduce costs, and most importantly, reach more souls with the wisdom of the Rebbes of Chabad-Lubavitch.
Kehot Publication Society has been a source of inspiration for generations. Now, we need your support to take our mission to new heights.
Your contribution will not only be an investment in the future of Jewish scholarship but a tangible demonstration of your commitment to spreading light and wisdom to all corners of the globe.
Assuring you of our deepest appreciation for your continuous support,
Sincerely,
Rabbi Yosef B. Friedman

“One who contributes from his wealth for the purpose of writing or publishing a book of a tzaddik —
At any given time, and in any corner of the world, that a person studies from this book, the tzaddik on high evokes merit on behalf of the donor through whom the book was disseminated.”
–The Rebbe (Igrot Kodesh, vol 2)
So excited about this!
amen to Rabbi Krinsky
Where is the new building located? I love Kehot!
