The Language of Truth
The Sfas Emes — “the Language of Truth” — is among the most beloved works of Chassidic thought ever written. Composed over thirty-five years of Shabbos and Yom Tov teachings, it weaves Midrash, Zohar, and the teachings of the Kotzker and Chiddushei HaRim into a sustained meditation on finding the inner point of holiness within everything. Each essay here presents the original Hebrew alongside a clear English translation and explanation.
