    The Way to the Tree of Life Jewish practice entails fulfilling many laws. Our diet is limited, our days to work are defined, and every aspect of life has governing directives. Is observance of all the laws easy? Is a perfectly righteous life close to our heart and near to our limbs? A righteous life seems to be an impossible goal! However, in the Torah, our great teacher Moshe, Moses, declared that perfect fulfillment of all religious law is very near and easy for each of us. Every word of the Torah rings true in every generation. Lesson one explores how the Tanya resolved these questions. It will shine a light on the infinite strength that is latent in each Jewish soul. When that unending holy desire emerges, observance becomes easy. Lesson One: The Infinite Strength of the Jewish Soul The title page of the Tanya states: A Collection of Teachings ספר PART ONE לקוטי אמרים חלק ראשון Titled הנקרא בשם The Book of the Beinonim ספר של בינונים Compiled from sacred books and Heavenly מלוקט מפי ספרים ומפי סופרים קדושי עליון נ״ע teachers, whose souls are in paradise; based מיוסד על פסוק כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאד בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו upon the verse, “For this matter is very near to לבאר היטב איך הוא קרוב מאד בדרך ארוכה וקצרה ”;you, it is in your mouth and heart to fulfill it בעזה״י and explaining clearly how, in both a long and short way, it is exceedingly near, with the aid of the Holy One, blessed be He. "1 of "393 The Way to the Tree of Life From the outset of his work therefore Rav Shneur Zalman made plain that the Tanya is a guide for those he called “beinonim.” Beinonim, derived from the Hebrew bein, which means “between,” are individuals who are in the middle, neither paragons of virtue, tzadikim, nor sinners, rishoim.

    Praise for Turning Judaism Outward “Wonderfully written as well as intensely thought provoking, Turning Judaism Outward is the most in-depth treatment of the life of the Rebbe ever written. !e author has managed to successfully reconstruct the history of one of the most important Jewish religious leaders of the 20th century, whose life has up to now been shrouded in mystery. A compassionate, engaging biography, this magni"cent work will open up many new avenues of research.” —Dana Evan Kaplan, author, Contemporary American Judaism: Transformation and Renewal; editor, !e Cambridge Companion to American Judaism “In contrast to other recent biographies of the Rebbe, Chaim Miller has availed himself of all the relevant textual sources and archival docu- ments to recount the details of one of the more fascinating religious leaders of the twentieth century. !rough the voice of the author, even the most seemingly trivial aspect of the Rebbe’s life is teeming with interest.... I am con"dent that readers of Miller’s book will derive great pleasure and receive much knowledge from this splendid and compel- ling portrait of the Rebbe.” —Elliot R. Wolfson, Abraham Lieberman Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, New York University “Only truly great biographers have been able to accomplish what Chaim Miller has with this book... I am awed by his work, and am now even more awed than ever before by the Rebbe’s personality and prodi- gious accomplishments.” —Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President Emeritus, Orthodox Union; Editor-in-Chief, Koren-Steinsaltz Talmud “A fascinating account of the life and legacy of a spiritual master.

  • The Tragedy of Chabad-Lubavitch Responding to the Unthinkable
    The Tragedy of Chabad-Lubavitch Responding to the Unthinkable While there’s been a great deal written concerning the acceptability of some beliefs held by some members of the Chabad community, I think it’s worthwhile examining the rhetorical strength of their actual claims. It seems to me that there are four main classes of belief that distinguish Chabad Jews from mainstream orthodox Judaism. While not all Chabad members will agree to all four, there are many who feel that these classes represent the core claims of modern Chabad (Click here for selected background sources). w that Rabbi Schneerson was the greatest Torah scholar and righteous man of his generation (nasi hador) and perhaps of all generations, a prophet (navi) and infallible. w that Rabbi Schneerson was (or is) the Jewish messiah. w that a Chassidic rebbe can nullify himself before God to the point where he becomes “indistinguishable from Him.” Many Chabad Chassidim believe that Rabbi Schneerson was such a man (and therefore is alive, divine, all-knowing, all-powerful and worthy of our prayers). w that Chabad Chassidism is the only completely authentic branch of Judaism and that all Jews are obligated to study and live by the tenets of the Chabad movement. Put in their own language: any Jew who doesn’t learn Toras Chabad (i.e., who doesn’t live and study the principles and curriculum of Chabad Chassidism as manifested by the teachings of their grand rabbis and especially Rabbi M. Schneerson) is holding back the redemption – God’s ultimate goal for all creation. Now, let us approach these claims as honest and open-minded skeptics.

In 1952, the Rebbe gave Chanukah gelt to people who were studying Chasidic teachings. The Rebbe called my father into his office and asked him if he was learning Chassidic teachings with me. My father wasn’t, and he justified himself by saying, “But he is still a young boy.” The Rebbe didn’t accept that. He said, “You must teach him,” and he suggested that we start with a discourse from Likkutei Torah entitled was born in 1941 in New York to a Lubavitch family.
