In Chassidic philosophy in general, and in Chabad Chassidus in particular, special emphasis is placed on the study of the revealed dimension of Torah — the wisdom of the Holy One, blessed be He. Studying the reasoning behind the laws as they appear in the revealed Torah is a form of unique closeness to G-d, achieved by the fact that the person's thoughts are united with G-d's wisdom, which is — together with G-d Himself — one. At the same time, the writings of Chassidic teachers stress the obligation to study "for its own sake" — for the sake of the Creator, to cleave to G-d, in holiness and with proper reverence, and out of [[humility]] and [[self-nullification]]. | In Chassidic philosophy in general, and in Chabad Chassidus in particular, special emphasis is placed on the study of the revealed dimension of Torah — the wisdom of the Holy One, blessed be He.
