The mailbag

Questions you might be carrying.

The Rebbe answered hundreds of thousands of letters in his lifetime — from professors and teenagers, believers and skeptics, Jews who knew everything and Jews who’d just found out. Nobody’s question was too basic, and nobody’s question was turned away.

These are the letters you might have written. Open whichever one is yours today.

Questions you might be carrying.

“Am I even Jewish enough for this?”

“I don’t really believe in G-d. Can I still do any of this?”

“I just found out I’m Jewish. Now what?”

“Is this all-or-nothing? Because I can’t do all-of-it.”

“My mind won’t stop racing. Does Judaism have anything for anxiety?”

“I want to trust that it’ll be okay. I don’t know how.”

“How do I find my purpose — my actual mission?”

“Why do bad things happen?”

“I did things I’m not proud of. Am I disqualified?”

“What happens after we die?”

“Why would G-d care what I eat or light or say?”
