On the Essence of Chasidus: A Chasidic Discourse by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of Chabad-Lubavitch

Editorial Review:

In this landmark discourse, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, explores the contribution of chasidus to a far deeper and expanded understanding of Torah. The Rebbe analyzes the relationship chasidus has with Kabbalah, the various dimensions of the soul, the concept of Moshiach and the Divine attributes.

Now part of the Chasidic Heritage Series, this newly revised edition includes a vowelized Hebrew text, a clear English translation, appendix, comprehensive footnotes and annotation.

This is a seminal work in Chabad Chasidus:

This was actually the first book I read from Lubavitch even before I read the whole Tanya. It codifies the levels of the soul (Naranchay - nefesh, ruach, neshama, chaya and yechida) and goes into topics I've forgotten about as I currently don't have a copy of this book. In other words, this book gives the Chabad Lubavitch world view or the construction of the soul and the creation of the universe. I read this book in Jerusalem in the home of some prominent people in the Carlebach movement.
