Likutei Torah, four parts, Chassidic essays on the books of Vayikra-Devarim, the festivals and Shir HaShirim, by Rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liadi - the Baal HaTanya. Zhitomir: R. Chanina Lipa, R. Aryeh Leib and R. Yehoshua Heshel Shapira, grandsons of the rabbi of Slavita, 1848. First edition.
Four parts in four volumes. Title pages of Vayikra and Devarim printed in red and black.
Likutei Torah is considered one of the most important and fundamental books in Chabad Chassidic thought. It contains essays on the books of Vayikra-Devarim, while the essays on the books of Bereshit and Shemot were published in Torah Or (Kopust 1837).
The book contains discourses which the Baal HaTanya delivered to the public on Shabbat and festivals, as well as commentaries which he gave over to his sons and select disciples during the course of the week, to clarify what he had said in the Shabbat sermon. The homilies mostly deal with the Chassidic approach to worship of G-d, while the commentaries explain and simplify kabbalistic concepts, based on Chassidic teachings.
