The Tzetel Katan

Inspiration for a Holy Life from the Chasidic Master Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk

The Tzetel Katan of Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk is one of the greatest legacies left to us by a Chasidic Master. It is a handbook for serving G-d that seeks to purify and elevate its readers spiritually and emotionally, and is filled with holy and practical advice on how to deepen one's love and fear of G-d. Simply reading its words daily is a spiritual practice that can purify a person and enable him to reach high spiritual levels.

The present volume offers a clear and lucid translation of the Tzetel Katan and Hanhagos Ha'Adam, both by R. Elimelech. These texts are framed by prayers, teachings and anecdotes drawn from numerous classic sources, which shed further light on R. Elimelech's words, and provide the reader with practical and emotional guidance on the spiritual path. Additional teachings, stories and prayers are offered in the other sections, throughout the book.
