The second edition of the fundamental exposition of Chabad Chassidism - containing the first appearance of the third section of the Tanya, Igereth ha-Teshuvah (Epistle of Repentance). This edition differs so radically from the revised version printed subsequently in Shklov in 1806, that Chassidim refer to our Zolkiew version as the “first draft” or “Igereth ha-Teshuvah Mahadura Kama.”
