“There’s a treasure waiting for you” – that was the slogan accompanying the distribution of 15,000 copies of the book Otzar Igros Kodesh, a collection of letters from the Rebbe on an array of subjects.

The 424-page volume gives readers a taste of the Rebbe’s prodigious body of work and contribution to Torah scholarship and is anthologized from the Rebbe’s magnum opus, “Igrot Kodesh,” with its 32 volumes.

The campaign to distribute the Sefer was led by the organization Torat Chabad Lebenei Hayeshivot in memory of the chossid R’ Leibel Mochkin OBM. It was distributed with volunteers from Lev Ladaat.

“The distribution of books is a huge dissemination of the Rebbe’s teachings to many houses in Israel,” said the organization’s director, Rabbi Moshe Shilat. “For the masses of Yeshiva students and Torah learners, this is the first time they will be able to connect directly to the great treasure of the Rebbe’s letters.”

Copies were distributed to Chassidim, Litvish and Religious Zionist yeshiva students and kollel members in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak and many other locations around the Holy Land.
