Tanya, the magnum opus of the founder of Chabad-Lubavitch Chasidism, is indispensable to understanding the philosophy of the Chasidic movement and the essence of the Jewish soul. It unifies Kabbalah and Talmud to explain the "mechanics" of Creation, the infinitude of G-d, and the structure of the human personality. For a period of more than twenty years, the author, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (1745-1812), refined its style and form so punctiliously that meaning can be found in every word and letter.
This appealing bi-lingual edition also features an in-depth line by line commentary, serving as an indispensable tool for the average reader.
