Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz: The Tales of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav (Hardcover)

One of the most prolific, brilliant, and multifaceted rabbis in recent centuries, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz has been enthralling audiences, congregants, and readers for decade upon decade, and is as strong and penetrating today as ever. While working on his monumental Hebrew translation and commentary on the entire Babylonian Talmud from 1965-2010 he still found time to write over sixty books and countless hundreds of articles on virtually every religious and secular subject imaginable.

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (Bratslav) was a major early Chassidic master.  Since he died and was buried in the Ukranian city of Uman in 1810, his burial site has become a major site for Jewish pilgrimmage, especially during Rosh Hashanah, when thousands of Jews from all over the world flock to Uman.

In this unique and special volume, Rabbi Nachman's Sippurei Ma'asiyot (tales) are retold with commentary by Rabbi Steinsaltz. Rabbi Nachman's tales were deep and complex allegories in the form of simple stories that he used to express fundamental truths. Rabbi Steinsaltz's insights are as relevant, learned, and readable as ever.
