The Chabad.org Tanya Project
Receive a new installment each week
We’ve embarked on an ambitious new project: to reimagine the translation of Tanya, the foundational text of Chabad. We plan to release it weekly, in digestible segments.
Join us on this journey. Sign up and receive these installments each week.
It’s in the English you speak
Few classic Jewish books have enjoyed the popularity of Tanya or had its impact on Jewish thought and practice. Yet there’s a steep climb approaching its study.
So we’ve built a bridge between you and Tanya.
A guide to hold your hand
Every step along the way, we focus on what you, as a contemporary reader, might ask. We stick to the central points of the chapter, to provide you clarity on the essentials without fretting over the peripherals.
And we bring its lessons into real life with colorful anecdotes and practical applications.
Visual learning
This Tanya is visually appealing, providing a whole new access point into Tanya.
Charts and graphics can say much more than words. So we've included them wherever possible.
Uncluttered, under your control
We kick off each chapter with key words and an introduction to key concepts. The text of Tanya is set apart so that you can read it without the guide. Or choose your flavor of guidance by icon.
Subheadings act as signposts, alongside easily-distinguished summaries to tell you what just happened and where you are going.
