In this book, Rabbi Steinsaltz retells, and then offers his own theological interpretation of, the tales of Rabbi Nachman. In retelling his allegorical tales anew, and bringing to them the force of a troubled twentieth-century quest for the experience of God, Adin Steinsaltz creates a new body of religious teachings, rooted in and loyal to the old, yet at the same time directed to the needs, intellectual as well as spiritual, of his contemporaries.

Rabbi Eisenberg writes, 'This book is the outcome of a dual encounter. Obviously, much has been written about the meaning of the Jewish holidays but, in my opinion, no one has probed them with as much depth and originality as Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Lyady (1745-1813), one of the prime figures of Hasidism and the founder of the HaBaD movement. This remarkable rabbi, who was a scholar, kabbalist, and spiritual leader, has countless readers and followers today. My encounter with the works of the Alter Rebbe was a dazzling experience, and the hours spent studying his commentaries remain among the most rewarding ones of my life.'

Biographies

The first section of the Tanya, Likkutei Amarim, comprises fifty-three chapters. In The Steinsaltz Tanya, this section has been divided in two. Volume 1 contains chapters 1-32, and volume 2 comprises chapters 33-53. This first section of the Tanya, which its author refers to as the 'Book of Beinonim,' presents a novel human and ethical archetype: the beinoni, or intermediate-level person. The beinoni is neither righteous nor wicked, but he is not an average person either. The beinoni is a category of its own, which expresses the ideal level that each and every individual, in accordance with his specific capabilities, can and should aspire to achieve. The Tanya is presented in a format that invites a person to put the ideas presented here into practice, one concept building on another, one leading to the next, so that the reader is guided toward attaining the level of beinoni that is the focus of this book. Its ideas are condensed, its words packed with meaning, and the one who studies the Tanya cannot help but appreciate its subtle and beautifully crafted writing style. The Steinsaltz Tanya includes a vocalized Hebrew Tanya text and a groundbreaking translation of the Tanya along with Rabbi Steinsaltz's novel commentary. One does not have to come from the world of Hasidism to study the Tanya. Rabbi Steinsaltz's clear, readable elucidation makes this dense, concise work accessible to all.

The author’s crystal clear commentary makes the Seder night – the most ancient rite of the Jewish people – not only more lucid and thus better understood, but causes it to come alive as never before. The commentary sagaciously illuminates the text of the Haggadah while the additional notes further explore, and expand on, each subject. This and the powerful illustrations of renowned artist Assaf Berg and the beautifully crafted script especially designed by Ada Yardeni make this Haggadah a true treasure and a joy to behold.
