Welcome back to Tanya is a ברייתא! This week, we take a look at the Alter Rebbe’s view on secular studies, as it’s discussed in his niglah’dike works, and how it ties into his (seemingly) novel approach in Tanya.

(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!)
