1: amazon's excerpt does not reflect this excellent book
amazon.com: please change the excerpt from the book. as a big fan of the tanya, i must say this is an excellent book. rabbi steinsaltz' commentary is very helpful and even inspiring. helping to give more light to the great teachings of the alter-rebbe.
the excerpt here is too "legal sounding". for example, look at the comments on chpt. 26...or almost any other chapter. the book is written well and commmunicates well the spirit of the tanya for newcomers or those familiar with the text.
please get a new excerpt!! amazon, are you listening???

5: Excellent exposition of Tanya
At times an inspired explanation and exploration of the first Chabad Rebbe's book of Tanya. Rabbi Steinsaltz uses more words to say what the Rebbe says in just a few, but for most of us this is necessary to understand in depth and apply to ourselves what the Tanya is really saying. Many paragraphs in this book sound like they were written from an inspired state.
