Description

Tanya, "It Was Taught," is one of the most powerful and potentially transformative books of Jewish wisdom.

Written in 1797 by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad Hasidism, Tanya sets forth the fundamentals of Jewish spirituality and mysticism.

While a focus of daily study by tens of thousands of Hasidic Jews, Tanya is little known outside the world of Jewish mysticism.

Until now, its kabbalistic terms and esoteric language have made this essential text of Jewish spirituality inaccessible to most readers. In this accessible volume, Rami Shapiro offers a contemporary English translation of key selections of the Hebrew text coupled with commentary designed to clarify and amplify the wisdom it contains.

He brings the genius of Tanya to readers seeking to deepen their understanding of the soul and how it relates to and manifests the Divine Source from which all life comes, in which all life lives, and to which all life returns. The SkyLight Illuminations series offers today's spiritual seeker an enjoyable entry into the great classic texts of the world's spiritual traditions.

Each classic is presented in an accessible translation, with facing pages of guided commentary from experts, offering readers the keys they need to understand the history, context and meaning of the text.

The series enables readers of all backgrounds to experience and understand classic spiritual texts directly, and to make them a part of their lives.
