Large View

Rabbi Nachman’s Tales are considered the peak of his creative life for their form, content, and profound, underlying ideas. Transcribed by Rabbi Natan (Sternharz) of Bratslav, Rabbi Nachman’s chief disciple, they are a mixture of intellectual and poetic imagination, fairy tales rooted in Kabbalistic symbolism and Biblical and Talmudic sources. The Tales of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav features select pieces from the original work together with Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz’s elucidating commentary to help the reader discover layer upon layer of meaning in this classic work.

Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz
Scholar, philosopher, spiritual mentor Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz has been on a life-long mission to popularize the study of the Talmud, Judaism’s central text of law, ethics, customs, and history, the repository of thousands of years of Jewish wisdom. Rabbi Steinsaltz views Talmud study as an essential component of Jewish survival: “The entire edifice of Jewish culture is bound up in the Talmud…any place where the Talmud is lacking is not only lacking knowledge, but a central and vital component.”
