Tanya Perek 10, (Class 5). This class has a 20 minute introduction about 10 Kislev. The second idea about Bnei Aliyah, is the idea of איזהו חסיד המתחסד עם קונו the idea of Chassidus- to serve their Maker (Hashem). Two levels 1) מתחסד עם קונו and 2) עם קן דילי’ה the idea of Dira Bitachtonim.

Tanya Perek 10, (Class 4). Tzadikim Gamurim are (always) Bnei Aliya, total transformation from bad to good, allowing them to ascend to the higher Gan Eden.

Tanya Perek 10, (Class 3). Imperfect Tzadik. צדיק ורע לו his hate for evil is incomplete, צדיק שאינו גמור, his love for good is incomplete. Levels of imperfect Tzadik, Bottul in 60, 1,000, and 10,000. But he doesn’t mention ביטול ברוב (in majority) because it is מין בשאינו מינו. Stories about Chassidim who were Tzadikim.

Tanya Perek 10 (Class Two) This class begins with a review A) לא נפלאת לא רחוקה חלא בשמים ולא מעבר לים are levels in צדיק ורע לו B) Difference between צדיק שאינו גמור and צדיק גמור has to do with טוב לו and רע לו C) Two equal and opposite thing: אוהבי השם שנאו רע,…

Beginning of Chapter 10. An absolute definition of Tzadik V’Ra Lo 1) Has destroyed the Animal Soul 2) Has not (yet) transformed it to good. Proof is that there is something left but it is כפוף ובטל לטוב צדיק ורע לו and צדיק שאינו גמור The sequence of Pesukim כי המצוה… לא נפלאת… ולא רוחוקה……

Chapter 10. Teshuva has two levels but one must go in order- Lower Teshuva leads to higher teshuva.

NOTE: This class which is meant to summarize chapters 8-12. is being put put up with hesitation. Rabbi Paltiel based this class on several Sichos (found in “The lessons in Tanya”), but he’s a bit unsure of the accuracy of this information. Please be advised.

Chapter 10. TZADIK. Imperfect and perfect Tzadik. Imperfect Tzadik has personal (inner) struggle, Perfect Tzadik does not. Note: The next six lessons discuss Tzadik, Rasha and the (mind over heart) Beinoni.
