What Is the Tanya About?

by Cotlar, Yisroel

“It is Tanya that…gives us the insight to understand and overcome the struggles we deal with on a day-to-day basis.

 

Yes, we have a Code of Jewish Law that clearly tells us how to live every aspect of our life. But, even assuming we can keep the laws perfectly, there’s more. We would still be missing a key ingredient in our service of our Creator.

Tanya teaches how to bridge that gap—to create a unity between my Judaism and my inner psyche. It makes my Torah and mitzvot a true representation of my personality. It allows me to truly feel—not merely act—like a Jew.”
