About Likutei Torah
Likutei Torah is one of a number of Jewish classics written
by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, also known as the Alter Rebbe,
the founder of Chabad and first Lubavitcher Rebbe. During his leadership,
the Alter Rebbe, would address his congregation each Shabbat and
Holiday with a discourse, illuminating the basic principles of Chabad
Chasidus. The majority of the discourses were recorded by qualified
transcribers. Many were later revised and corrected by the Alter
Rebbe himself. The Tzemach Tzedek, grandson and principal student
of the Alter Rebbe, labored for many years to select and organize
the discourses that he considered fundamental. He added references
to Talmud, Zohar, the writings of the Arizal and his own glosses.
He reviewed more than two thousand discourses in order to compile
Likutei Torah. Likutei Torah first appeared in 5608 (1848). |
