From the Inside Flap

In the year 5557 (1796), the Book of Tanya was published for the first time -- and its 7,000 editions since have repeatedly invigorated the Jewish world with a message of informed inspiration. In this brief classic, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (1745-1812) articulated the Chabad-Lubavitch school of Chasidic thought, filtering the mystical teachings of the Baal Shem Tov through the intellectual framework of traditional Jewish scholarship. Lessons in Tanya began as a course of weekly lectures delivered over the New York airwaves by noted Chasidic lecturer, Rabbi Yosef Wineberg. The author's successor, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of sainted memory, critically examined the prepared Yiddish text of each lecture before it was broadcast, correcting, adding and amending. Thus, many of his insights and explanatory comments highlight the commentary. The commentary leads the student by the hand through the text, maps out difficult terrain lying ahead, anticipates each conceptual obstacle, and briefs him on the background knowledge which Rabbi Schneur Zalman credited to his reader's presumed erudition. This is no detached armchair study. Throughout, the commentary pulsates with life, as the student is nudged out of the academician's complacency, and is swept up in the quest for G-dliness and self-perfection that comprises Tanya. Lessons in Tanya is thus not only a well-lit and accessible gateway to one of Judaism's most cherished treasure-houses, but also the authoritative guide to its riches.
