Tanya helps us be ‘laborers,’ people that proactively work on their relationship with Hashem and their own spiritual development. The goal of the Tanya Tools recordings is to facilitate this by focusing on a conceptual point and elaborating on its practical application for our personal growth. Each recording is one minute or less, to give people today, always on the run, a tidbit of a thought, which they can put a lifetime of work into.
