It is modeled after Igrot Kodesh Maharayatz which are the letters of the sixth Rebbe of Lubavitch, Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn. The topics considered in these letters include many realms of discussion, and numerous disciplines of human pursuit. Its purview encompassing philosophy (be it Talmudic, Halachic, Hasidic, mystical or other), scientific matters, global events, counsel in private issues, schooling, and social/communal proceedings. In the year 1987 the Rebbe gave instructions to publish these letters[2]
There is within some members of Chabad-Lubavitch to use the Igrot Kodesh to ask advice from the Rebbe in a similar way which other Jews use the Hebrew Bible to ask advice from Hashem.[4][5][6][7]
