shalom where can i find a Rebbe to learn tanya

great teaching where can i get authentic Tanya manual?

you are an inspiration...please submit more.... give all of us more

sounds similar like the buddism belief that one battles against himself.

where buddha was confronted by evil and could not move the buddha to give in..

he defeated temptations by evil but acknowledging he was fighting against himself rather than an external force of evil

Rabbi your teaching are so clear...
i am deeply inspired..
thank you so much

Rabbi Shais Taub Thank You!

Mordechai,

We are very proud at how righteous you have become.

Maria, I too feel I have a Jewish soul. But I am Noahide. Did you convert?

Hi Anna... I have learned through the Tanya twice, and it took about 10 yrs -- from a rabbi who goes deep. (Some rabbis go quickly and you get more of a survey.) Tanya is wonderful, and I expect you will understand a great deal from your first time. But if you have a choice of rabbis teaching it, ask them how quickly they move through the chapters, and pick whoever goes the slowest. It really is an oral tradition, and is handed down with stories that you will love. Your Rav may never have studied the tanya because it's a chabad thing!

hello Avigayil, My Rav teaches Kabbalah (Baal Ha Sulam) - and Rabash (Rabbi Ashlag). Rav Michael Laitman says he never studied Tanya (in response to a query made by a student) you can check it in his wbesite. He teaches Zohar lessons and has a nightly lesson on the web. I wonder why he never studied Tanya? So, this is why I am drawn to chabad.org many thanks for your question.
