Editing Tanya (section)

== Igeres HaTeshuvah ==
This section deals with the method of avodas hateshuvah according to Chabad Chassidus. The igeres is also known as "Tanya Katan." It includes twelve perakim:

* The first three perakim explain the details of mitzvas hateshuvah according to nigleh
* Perakim 4-8 explain teshuvah according to Chassidus
* The final four perakim combine and integrate both approaches

The Rebbe said about learning this igeres that since Hashem made it that in our generation Yidden cannot fast as part of tikkunei teshuvah, "through learning Torah in these matters - in a way of 'eisek,' and even in a way of 'reading' - it's considered as if the person fasted all the numbers of fasts specified in the tikkunei teshuvah from the Arizal, and through learning Igeres HaTeshuvah, it's as if they engaged in avodas hateshuvah on all the levels explained in Igeres HaTeshuvah."
