Time in the Teachings of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi

A note on the presentation of source materials 
Published English translations (with some modifications, as necessary) have been 
used wherever possible. All other translations from the Hebrew sources are my own. 
Biblical quotations follow the 
The Authorized King James Version 
(Oxford: Oxford 
University Press, 1998).

Quotations from the liturgy follow S. Singer, ed., 
The Authorised Daily Prayer Book 
of the Hebrew Congregations of the British Empire
(London: Eyre and 
Spottiswoode, 1900) 
Tanya 
translations follow the bilingual Kehot-Soncino edition (London: Soncino, 
1973) 
All the above translations have been modified by me, where necessary. 
The transliteration of Hebrew aims to reflect contemporary Modern Hebrew 
pronunciation while generally following the Library of Congress’ romanization 
system, with the following exceptions: there is no distinction between 
alef 
and 
‘ayin 
(both represented by the same apostrophe and disregarded when 
alef
appearing as an 
initial letter)
, tet 
and
 tav, samekh 
and
 sin, het 
and
 he.
The consonants 
vav 
and 
kuf 
are 
represented by 
v 
and 
k 
respectively
. 
Consonants marked with a 
dagesh 
are not 
doubled in transliteration.
Hebrew words in transliteration are generally italicized, with the exception of those 
in common English use (i.e. Kabbalah), where the common English spelling has 
been preserved.
Tanya 
is abbreviated throughout as T followed by number of section (1 – Sefer shel 
beinonim, 2 – Sha’ar ha-yihud veha-emunah, 3 – Igeret ha-teshuvah, 4 – Igeret ha-
kodesh, 5 – Kuntres ha-aharon), number of chapter and folio;
Torah or
as TO, 
Likutei Torah 
as LT, 
Ma’amrei Admor ha-Zaken
as MAHZ,
 Hilekhot Talmud Torah 
as HTT, 
Zohar 
as Z. 
Original Hebrew versions of all quotations appear in the Appendices.
