About this episode
The Tanya , a hugely influential 18thcentury work of Hasidic philosophy and spirituality, is at the foundation of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, indeed, written by the movement’s founder, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (1745-1812). Join us as we discuss volume 3 of The Steinsaltz Tanya , featuring the late Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz’s translation and commentary of two self-contained sections of the Tanya: Sha’ar HaYihud VeHa’emuna or ‘The Gate of Unity and Faith,’ and Iggeret HaTeshuva or or ‘Letter on Repentance.’ Rabbi Meni Even-Israel serves as the Executive Director of the Steinsaltz Center , which oversees the teachings and publications of Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz, and has recently put out the app, Steinsaltz Daily Study . Michael Morales is Professor of Biblical Studies at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, and the author of The Tabernacle Pre-Figured: Cosmic Mountain Ideology in Genesis and Exodus (Peeters, 2012), Who Shall Ascend the Mountain of the Lord?: A Biblical Theology of Leviticus (IVP Academic, 2015), and Exodus Old and New: A Biblical Theology of Redemption (IVP Academic, 2020).
