Opening the Tanya: Discovering the Moral and Mystical Teachings of a Classic Work of Kabbalah

A seminal document in the study of Kabbalah, the  Tanya  explores and solves the dilemmas of the human soul by arriving at the root causes of its struggles. Though it is a classic Jewish spiritual text, the  Tanya  and its present commentary take a broad and comprehensive approach that is not specific to Judaism nor tied to a particular personality type or time or point of view.

Opening the  Tanya  is a groundbreaking book that offers a definitive introduction, explanation, and commentary upon the  Tanya . As relevant today as it was when it was first written more than two hundred years ago, the  Tanya  helps us to see the many thousands of complexities, doubts, and drives within us as expressions of a single basic problem, the struggle between our Godly Soul and our Animal Soul.
