More About This Book

Overview

Praise for Rabbi Steinsaltz

"Steinsaltz is a genius of the highest order—the sort of mind that comes around only every couple of thousand years." —Newsweek

"[Steinsaltz has] a searing wit and is also a man for all seasons—as well versed in fundamental Jewish texts as he is in modern literature and scientific studies." —Los Angeles Times

"The scope of Steinsaltz's work can only be compared to Rashi's [the great medieval commentator]. He has revolutionized the way the Talmud is studied. His commentaries will live for centuries." —Washington Post

"Rabbi Steinsaltz is a distinguished educator and his commentary is extremely clear." —Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter

"Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz is one of the world's most respected Jewish scholars. His books are exceptionally clear commentaries on rabbinic, mystical, and Hasidic teachings." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Steinsaltz, a scholar of international renown, plumbs the depths of the Tanya (an eighteenth-century Jewish classic) in a line-by-line commentary on the text. He explores the intricacies of the human soul and body and the correlation between the two." —Cleveland Jewish News

"Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz presents a comprehensive picture of the Tanya, the first and most fundamental book of Hasidism." —San Diego Jewish Press Heritage
