Welcome back to Tanya is a ברייתא! In this shiur, we endeavor to understand what exactly the Alter Rebbe means when he says that Shaar Hayichud Vihaemuna has no secrets of Torah. Along the way we discuss the the overall structure of the work, what it’s coming to tell us, and why the title contains emuna.

(The intention of this series is to attempt to bring out the Alter Rebbe’s intention by doing a deep dive into his (oftentimes niglah’dike) sources. Enjoy the shiur!)

Welcome back to Tanya is a ברייתא! In this shiur we zoom in on the exact size that the Alter Rebbe ascribes to the sun. With fascinating turns, the number alone seems to guide us to a deeper understanding of the mitzva of yichud.

Welcome back to Tanya is a ברייתא! In this shiur, we take a look at the Alter Rebbe’s take on the mitzva of Yichud, and we compare it to the Rambam’s concept of the mitzva, to see what exactly is required to fulfill the mitzva.

Welcome back to Tanya is a ברייתא! In this shiur we analyze the Alter Rebbe’s usage of the term “heretic,” directed towards those who don’t believe in all-encompassing divine providence. We take a dive into midrashim and classical halachic opinions, and ultimately we emerge with a better understanding of divine providence, heresy, and the nuanced language of Tanya.

Welcome back to Tanya is a ברייתא! In this shiur we examine the fascinating subtext that the Alter Rebbe wove into the introduction to the second part of Tanya, and how that subtext makes a lot of details fall into place.
