About this title

About the Author:

Born in White Russia, 1745, the author was a disciple of the Maggid of Mezritch, who was a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov, who saw him once, attending his three-year-old hair-cutting ceremony. He was a descendant of the Maharal of Prague. He studied under a scholar in Lubavitch until age 12, then alone, and studied Kabbalah, mathematics, and geometry. At 13 he gave a talk in Talmud and was identified as a Torah genius, becoming part of the Chevra Kadisha and registered on a list only for meritorious mature scholars. Once married, with his wife's consent, he spent the dowry settling Jewish city dwellers who were poor onto agricultural land. His science and math skills earned him a good name with the local nobility. He went to study with the Maggid of Mezritch although his father-in-law did not want him to, and became preacher in Liozna. He wrote a Shulchan Aruch edited from Joseph Karo's, and later wrote the Tanya, and Torah Or, and Likkutei Torah. He had 100,000 disciples, was imprisoned twice through words spread by enemies, and passed away fleeing Napoleon, in the winter, passing on in the Kursk district at 68. He was vehemently opposed to Napoleon due to the dangers the latter's libertarian teachings would have posed to the Jewish way of life.
