Welcome back to Tanya is a ברייתא! This week, we take a look at the novel approach in chapter 45, how it relates to the chapters before and after it, and how the Alter Rebbe may have put a new twist on an age-old ritual.

(The intention of this series is to attempt to bring out the Alter Rebbe’s intention by doing a deep dive into his (oftentimes niglah’dike) sources. Enjoy the shiur!)
