Lessons in Tanya Vol. 1 - Paperback 6 X 9 (Lessons in Tanya - Paperback 6 X 9)

A linear exposition and commentary on the Tanya of R. Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of Chabad philosophy. First a weekly Yiddish radio program in 1960 by Rabbi Yosef Wineberg, which drew upon teachings received from Chasidic scholars at the renowned academies of Lubavitch in Europe and the writings of seven generations of Chabad Rebbes. it was examined, lecture by lecture, and amended by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, so that much of the material includes the Rebbe's insights and explanations. Guiding the reader through every phrase of the Tanya, it's authoritative and a well-lit, accessible gateway to the Tanya, illuminating the mystical, often elusive Talmudic, Kabbalistic, and Scriptural verses and concepts. It fills many gaps in what the terse Tanya text assumes to be the reader's background knowledge. In the 1980s, the lectures were translated and published in English. Now it's redesignnd for a new generation of seekers.
