Working through the Tanya, step by step
Rabbi Naftali Silberberg is known for teaching the Tanya, the foundational text of Chabad Chassidus, in a methodical, chapter-by-chapter way. His "Tanya Review and Overview" classes move through long stretches of the sefer — chapters 29 to 34, 50 to 53 and beyond — giving a learner a structured path through a book that can be daunting to open alone.
This kind of steady overview is exactly what the Tanya rewards. Its ideas build on one another, so a guide who tracks the argument across many chapters helps a student see the whole picture rather than getting lost in a single dense passage. His teaching is designed for that sustained journey.
Shaar Hayichud VehaEmunah and the ideas of belief
He also teaches Shaar Hayichud VehaEmunah, the section of the Tanya devoted to Hashem's unity and the nature of faith, working through it chapter and section at a time. This is some of the most conceptual material in Chassidus, dealing with how the world relates to its Creator.
Taking it slowly, part by part, is what makes it graspable. Rather than rushing the abstractions, Rabbi Silberberg's approach lets a learner sit with each idea long enough for it to take shape — turning heavy philosophical Chassidus into something a motivated student can genuinely follow.
Chinuch, chessed, teshuva, and the holidays
Beyond the core Chassidus texts, his teaching reaches into chinuch — with classes such as "Chinuch Koton" — as well as chessed, teshuva, and the Yamim Tovim. These bring the ideas of Tanya down to the ground: how a person acts, gives, returns to Hashem, and lives the calendar.
The pairing is deliberate. The deep conceptual material explains the why, and the topics of teshuva, chessed, and the holidays supply the how. For a family drawn to Chabad thought, his catalog offers both the foundations and their practical application.
