What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Shais Taub’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

so we're on chapter five of and I'm going to warn you that this is a very short but very difficult chapter very short and very difficult um I'm going to do my best to teach it if you'll if you ever want to look in the lessons in Tanya which is Tanya which is sometimes people ask me like what what books are good on Tanya and the reality is I don't really know because I don't keep up on the modern commentaries on Tanya um but sh for Tanya is as close to an official commentary an Tanya from theb as you can get as close to it as you can get because Rie Weinberg who wrote lessons ananya as scripts for his radio show his Tanya radio show would submit those his Tanya radio show would submit those scripts to The debba for review and the debba would make comments so that's about as close as we have to something that was officially uh approved by the Deb and it's interesting and I don't say this to uh disparage the work sh um I as I hope I just made clear it's probably about as official as you can get but what's funny to me is that the style of sh is it gives commentary in style of sh is it gives commentary in between the lines of Tanya um in chapter five it does that but then at the end of the whole chapter five it says oh and by the way there's a from the I think it's um where the rebba asks several questions about this chapter and basically here's the so what I'm saying is instead of taking the Reb's explanation of the chapter and weaving it in to the text of Tanya
