== The Tanya – The Foundation of Chabad Chassidus ==
One of the Alter Rebbe’s most significant contributions to Chabad Chassidus was the publication of the Tanya, also known as ''Likkutei Amarim''. This foundational text, first printed in 5557 (1796), serves as a guide for every Jew in their service of Hashem. The Tanya addresses the struggles of the soul, offering practical advice for overcoming challenges and achieving spiritual growth.

The Tanya is structured in a way that speaks to the intellect and the heart, combining deep philosophical concepts with practical guidance. It explains the nature of the soul, the purpose of creation, and the path to achieving closeness to Hashem through Torah, mitzvos, and prayer.

The publication of the Tanya marked a turning point in the development of Chabad Chassidus, solidifying its unique identity and providing a framework for its teachings.
