Here it's reversed from left to right so as to type in English:

Heichal Shlishi---------------Shaar Sheni
Shulchan Aruch
Orach Chaim
Chelek Sheni

The Kehos symbol: What does "karnei Hod Torah" mean?

(the bolded is parts I don't understand.)

Salshelet haor - means the chain of light - Heichal Shelishi - one and two are the Baal Shem tov and the Maagid

Shaar Sheini - means which number sefer of his (rishon is the Sefer Hatanya [even if his SA was written before the Tanya])

karnei Hod Torah - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kehot_Publication_Society

So there are three "heichal"s in the "shalshelet haor" (ohr=Torah I guess): The Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid of Mezeritch, and the Baal HaTanya?

How is this book a shaar? A gate to what?
(I guess it's in order of importance?)

Interesting.

Thank you!

No it continues on, the Baal Hatanya's son being number 4, tzemach tzedek number 5...."The" L Rebbe number 9.

I guess a gate of\to the "light" light of torah? (FTR the Baal Hatanya has more than just those two seforim, it goes on as well)

I would imagine it does go in order of importance (however that is measured) but I shamefully am not sure as to how exactly it works.

your welcome.

I see, and there it ends?

What is the list?

OK, thanks.

You have problems with the title page, but not the title itself?

This is a gateway drug to darshen from haskamos.

Unless you know something I don't?

copied and pated from The Rebbes of Lubavitch

Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi [Baal Hatanya] (1745–1812),
Rabbi Dovber Schneuri (1773–1827),
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn [Tzemach Tzedek] (1789–1866),
Rabbi Shmuel Schneersohn (1834–1882),
Rabbi Sholom Dovber Schneersohn (1860–1920),
Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn (1880–1950),
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902–1994)

Are you referring to that it doesn't say Shulchan Aruch HaRav anywhere on the title page?


err: I don't get it.

No, just making sure.

I mean, what other seforim did the Baal HaTanya write.

Specifically, HaRav.

hmm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shneur_Zalman_of_Liadi#Works

Did he get fired or something?? Why didn't I hear about this?

Why is that surprising?
That certainly isn't what HE called it. And Chabadniks (who publish the version in question) rarely if ever call it that except when talking to non "anash"....

Thank you.

Not on my thread, please.

Is this better? Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902– ) actually I just copied and pasted. but understood.

Exactly. Does that not strike you as somewhat insidious?


This isn't your thread.
