Rav Benzion Twerski, shlit"a, brings clarity of purpose and the joy of Yiddishkeit to all those who attend his shiurim. (For more bio info, click here.)
After his wildly successful weekly shiur in the sefer Maor Einyaim, Rav Benzion has begun a new series: Sefer HaTanya, the classic Chassidic work, authored by Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi.
Generally taught solely from sources within Chabad philosophy, this series is unique in that it incorporates seforim from the entire breadth of sifrei avodah and Chassidus. With thousands of downloads, this shiur's novel approach satisfies the need for a contemporary, relevant and comprehensive look at the timeless words of the Baal Hatanya.
Times and dial-in information: Each Wednesday night, 8:00 pm - 8:40 pm, at his home (for men only): 3349 North 51st Boulevard.
Also available via conference call, for men and women.
Dial-in Number: 1-605-475-6333 (Midwest), Participant Access Code: 684963
EXCLUSIVE: On this page, you will find all the Tanya shiurim available for download.
This is a text-based shiur, so it will be helpful, although far from necessary to have a Sefer HaTanya on hand. In addition, since many other seforim are quoted, here will be posted other sources quoted in the shiur (beginning with #8). Click a page to enlarge. Or, right-click, save and print.
