Editing Tanya (section)

== Mivtza Printing of the Tanya ==
In 1978, the Rebbe instructed to print Sefer HaTanya in every place where Yidden live. This was to bring the maaynos of Chassidus themselves - Sefer HaTanya - to every location and thereby accomplish "yafutzu mayanosecha chutzah." Since then, Chabad Chassidim print the Tanya everywhere, and today (as of 5783, in the era of portable printing machines) the Tanya has been printed in over eight thousand editions, making it the sefer printed in the most editions ever.

The Tanya has been printed on all seven continents and in most countries of the world. During Communist rule in the Soviet Union, Chabad Chassidim printed the Tanya behind the Iron Curtain. It was also printed in Islamic and Arab countries and even in enemy states like Iran and Syria. During wartime, Chassidim printed the sefer with mesiras nefesh in combat zones, such as in Egypt across the Suez Canal, and in Lebanon during the First Lebanon War in cities like Beirut, Tyre, Sidon, and more.
