A Chasidic Perspective on the Jewish Calendar. Based on the works of the Lubavitcher Rebbe

To the mystic it is the first creation, to the physicist it is a fourth dimension, to the marathon runner it is a hurdle to surmount. But for most of us, time is simply a faceless tyrant - an indomitable force that drives us from a receding past through a fleeting present to an ever-elusive future.

Jewish tradition offers a more intimate experience of time, empowering us to delve beyond its homogeneous expanse to behold a terrain of great diversity. A terrain marked by a weekly cycle of creative workdays and Shabbat rest; with the annual landmarks of Rosh Hashanah awe, Passover freedom, Chanukah light, and Purim joy; with designated hours for the daily prayers, lighting Shabbat candles, or the havdalah ritual. Through these and a host of other time specific observances, we reach within time to uncover its multifaceted nature and actualize its particular potentials.

Inside Time by acclaimed author, Rabbi Yanki Tauber, is a three-book series exploring the soul of time as defined by the Torah and as illuminated by chassidic teaching, particularly by the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menchem Mendel Schneerson.

• The first volume of the series includes 28 essays on the origins and characteristics of time; on the way in which living in time shapes our psyche and behavior; and on the time-cycles and systems that define the trajectories of our lives: the day, the week, the month, the year, and the unique features of the Jewish calendar.
• Volume 2 covers all the holidays and significant days from Rosh Hashana through Purim.
• Volume 3 covers all the holidays and significant days from Passover through Elul, the closing month of the Hebrew year.
