We begin Chapter 37 of Tanya in which we begin to describe the precise mechanics whereby our mitzvos transform the physical world into a dwelling place for Hashem.

In Ch. 36 of Tanya we continue to impress upon the beinoni why physical action is so important by explaining that the whole purpose of creation lies within the physical.

Beginning of Chapter 36. The ultimate purpose for the creation of all worlds takes place on earth, not in heaven.

Beginning Ch. 35, we know focus on a new theme. What is the purpose of life? What is the point of the beinoni's struggle?

Chapter 34 of Tanya concludes the theme of joy that we began in Chapter 26. We take joy in providing a home for Hashem in this world through our Torah study and giving tzedakah.

Finishing Ch. 33. More about why Hashem gets such delight from us "letting Him in." Rabbi Taub shares an epiphany he had about the old Groucho joke "I would never want to be part of any club that would have someone like me as a member."

Chapter 33 continues the theme of JOY begun in Ch. 26. The specific form of joy that we focus on in this chapter is the unique happiness we feel when we feel close to Hashem.

Concluding Ch. 32 -the HEART of TANYA- we discuss how to love even those people who behave in ways that are objectively hateful.

Find out why Chapter 32 is the "heart of Tanya." How does the identity shift outlined in Chapter 31 lead to a radical change in our relationships with others.
