== Background == In 1772, the Alter Rebbe established the approach of Chabad Chassidus, which demands avodas Hashem with all kochos hanefesh. Chassidim who encountered many difficulties in their avodas Hashem would approach the Alter Rebbe for yechidus to resolve their problems. After yechidus, the Chassidim would write down the Alter Rebbe's horaos and guidance in avodas Hashem. These eitzos were collected as kuntreisim that were learned by Chassidim in all their communities. These kuntreisim were published in 1984 as "Tanya Mahadura Kama." When the inquiries increased, the Alter Rebbe decided to compose the Sefer HaTanya to concentrate all the answers to questions related to avodas Hashem in an organized format. In 1775, the Alter Rebbe began writing the Sefer HaTanya, and over twenty years he wrote it, being meticulous with every letter. The maamarim that the Alter Rebbe said from Rosh Hashana 1790 until 10 Kislev 1793 formed the foundation and basis for writing the perakim (which included collected eitzos from previous years). He completed writing in 1795 and then authorized the sefer's copying.
