At the core of our identity is the desire to be one with our source, and to know the spiritual realities that give our physical life the transcendental importance of the Torah's imperatives. In this letter to a yearning Chasid, the Rebbe explains the mystical worlds of Atzilut, Beriah, Yetzirah, and Asiyah.
Your atlas to an understanding of the spiritual worlds that populate Chasidic and Kabbalah texts has arrived. In 1937, M.A. Horowitz wrote to Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn requesting a better understanding of these mystical worlds: Do they occupy space? How do they differ from one another? In this printing of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak`s answer, the crisply typeset Hebrew text appears with vowels and English translation. The finely written introduction and copious notes at every challenging point make this edition less of a reprinting and more of a tutor in print. The Four Worlds is a MapQuest for all those who have wondered: "Where exactly is Atzilus?"
