THE MAAGID'S INSPIRATIONAL WISDOM : THE TORAH'S LIGHT

Well known it is that The Great and Holy Soul - Rabbi Dovber, the Maagid of Mezritsh became the Rebbe, leader of the Chassidic movement.

Truth be told, I had scant knowledge.

Apart from the occasional story and "vort" - "wise saying/teaching" - though steeped in the wellsprings of Chassidus... I really was oblivious.

Of-course, the Great and Holy Maagid founded - for all intents and purposes - the Chassidic movement, in that it was from his 60 Holy Disciples, Reb Nachum Chernobler, Zusha Of Anipoli... to the Alter Rebbe, that the Chassidic movement became what it is.

I was delighted to have discovered extraordinarily beautiful & profoundly deep Teachings - remember His disciples were the "Chevriah Kadisha - Holy Group" - Wisdom, That Can Transform Our Lives!

Note: The numbering follows the order of the book. Kehos 5,765

As this is a paraphrased translation - we have eliminated both teachings considered too complex (or requiring great technical - Kabbalistic - knowledge;) as well as it is condensed, in an easy, understandable format.

It is with great humility that this book together with the second part "Oir Torah - The Torah's Light" is completed on the Yor-Tzeit of the light of our family, whose dedication to the Rebbe, and especially his campaign of offering Shabbos Candles to Jewish women and girls, was the light of her life, and lit up so many others - my dear grandmother, Esther Wineberg (Esther Bas Alexander Zev) - May Her Memory Be A Blessing.

It is also with very painful emotions that this book is dedicated to the many victims of the Surfside-tragedy among them my friend's (Mendy Ainsworth) Parents, and my dear Brother-In-Law and Sister's Uncle / Aunt - May The Jewish People - Indeed All! - Know Only The Immediate Redemption and Resurrection!

When you study these holy teachings, please request of G-d to bring the Moshiach and cause the speedy resurrection! "When there will be no tears forevermore," but joy, gladness, and infinite growth, learning, and Chassidus!
