Overview

Sichos In English is the key English-language publisher of Chabad Chasidic works, operating as the English-language publishing arm of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. Based in Brooklyn, New York, it produces translations, adaptations, and original English-language editions of foundational Chasidic texts, discourses (maamarim), talks (sichos), and teachings associated with the Chabad-Lubavitch tradition. Its catalogue serves English-speaking Jewish communities worldwide, making core Chasidic literature accessible to readers who do not read Hebrew or Yiddish. The publisher is closely tied to the Chabad-Lubavitch movement and its global network of shluchim (emissaries), synagogues, and educational institutions. Its output spans prayer books, Chasidic philosophy, holiday guides, and works by Chabad rebbes, including the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Through its website and distribution channels, Sichos In English supplies individuals, synagogues, and Jewish libraries with English-language Chabad texts. As a niche religious publisher, Sichos In English occupies a specific position within Jewish religious publishing: it is not a general trade house but a mission-driven imprint dedicated to disseminating Chabad Chasidism in English. Its brand identity is defined by fidelity to Chabad sources and by the translation and elucidation of classic Chasidic works for a modern English-reading audience.

History

Sichos In English is the key English-language publisher of Chabad Chasidic works. It emerged within the Chabad-Lubavitch movement to address a practical need: making the movement's foundational Chasidic literature available to English-speaking audiences. Chabad's classic texts and the teachings of its rebbes were historically written and transmitted in Hebrew, Yiddish, and Aramaic; Sichos In English was established to translate, adapt, and publish these works in English. Operating from Brooklyn, New York — the historic center of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement — the publisher built a catalogue centered on Chasidic discourses, talks, letters, and instructional works. Its name reflects its core activity: publishing sichos, the informal talks and discourses of Chabad rebbes, in English. Over time the catalogue expanded to include prayer books, holiday guides, and works of Chasidic philosophy and ethics. The publisher's distribution is closely linked to the global Chabad-Lubavitch network. Chabad emissaries, synagogues, schools, and Jewish libraries use its titles for study, prayer, and outreach. Its website, sie.org, serves as a direct sales and information channel for individuals and institutions. As of the available evidence, Sichos In English continues to operate as an active English-language publishing imprint of Chabad Chasidism. Detailed corporate records — such as a precise founding year, founders, or formal ownership structure — are not provided in the supplied evidence and are therefore not asserted here.
