The Last Words Count (Tanya is a ברייתא)

Welcome back to another episode of Tanya is a ברייתא! In this shiur, we take a look at a line of prose that the Alter Rebbe uses. We analyze the different ways that the line can be puncuated, and they take us on a surprising and fascinating journey across Nach, Gemara, Halacha, and ultimately the intention of the Alter Rebbe.

(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!)
