On this basis, the [[Chabad Rebbes]] have delivered and written [[maamar|maamarim]] (Chassidic discourses) — known by the acronym ''Da"Ch'' (''Divrei Elokim Chayyim'', "Words of the Living G-d") — exploring and expanding the system, discussing such themes as: the nature of G-d and the meaning of His being "infinite"; the purpose of creation; the relationship between G-d and man; why G-d concerns Himself with human deeds; the nature of Torah; the nature of the commandments; what a soul is and why it descended into the world; the essence of Jewish identity; and more. Chabad literature comprises hundreds of volumes engaging these themes at great depth. | To explain the Chabad approach, the founder of Chabad — the [[Alter Rebbe]] — composed the [[Tanya]],<ref>Igros Kodesh, Rebbe Rayatz, vol. 4, p. 261.</ref> which is considered the Written Torah of [[Chassidic philosophy]].
