The Tales of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav

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.
