In honor of Yud Tes Kislev, a special five-day Tanya Sale is running from December 7–11, offering readers a unique opportunity to explore one of the most important works of Chassidic thought. The centerpiece of the sale is the Practical Tanya, a modern and accessible presentation of all 53 chapters of the Tanya in a single volume.

The Tanya, authored by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745–1812), founder of Chabad Chassidus, remains one of the most influential works in Jewish spiritual literature. It provides a structured system of personal spiritual development, helping readers gain inner clarity, emotional mastery, and a deeper understanding of the human soul.

This edition—adapted and translated by bestselling author Rabbi Chaim Miller—is widely recognized for presenting complex mystical ideas with exceptional clarity. The commentary is simple, elegant, and fully relevant to the modern reader, guiding each learner toward spiritual consciousness, emotional balance, and personal refinement.

The ‘Practical Tanya’ Wins Praise

Since its release, the Practical Tanya has been celebrated across diverse communities and age groups. Shortly after publication, it received two Benjamin Franklin Awards for best inside design and best cover design—an acknowledgment of its craftsmanship and thoughtful presentation.

The strongest praise, however, has come from readers themselves—particularly teenagers and young adults who finally feel that Tanya is accessible.

One 17-year-old wrote: “I bought your book, The Practical Tanya, last year… Since then, it has become my FAVORITE book of all time. I’m only 17 years old, and had a hard time comprehending and appreciating the Tanya before I became familiar with your book… This was definitely more than just a reading or even a learning. This was an experience for me, one that has impacted my life.”

Another young woman shared: “It was given to me as a gift almost half a year ago and it has deeply changed my life in the most profound way. I take it with me everywhere I go for Shabbos and have learned it with people who have never learned any chassidus before.”

The book has also gained strong traction in Litvish communities. One reader wrote: “Speaks in the language of contemporary spirituality without dumbing things down… Totally at ease with the corpus and various schools of intra-Chabad commentary… And most importantly, it is practical. About real life. Real spirituality.”

At the Benjamin Franklin Awards, one judge summed up the work this way: “This is a tome to be engaged over a lifetime… It is a spiritual philosophy with shoe leather.”
