The Tanya's big message (IMHO)

one of the biggest Paradigm shifts of the is that it asks you not just what you can do to improve your relationships it asks you what you can discover within yourself that tells you that this relationship is already going to be good of Jewish law tells you what to do what to do as a Jew and that's very important but the T tells you who you are deep down inside in the internal struggle and the question becomes not just what can I do to improve my relationship with God my relationship with Judaism my relationship with people but who am I that tells me this relationship is going to flourish
