Garments of the Soul: Vayishlach Yehoshua

by Shneur Zalman, Yosef B. Marcus (Translator)

To the layperson's and scholar's delight, this popular volume of the Chasidic Heritage Series has now been reprinted. First delivered by the Rebbe in 1976, the Vayishlach Yehoshua discourse discusses the differences between the spies sent by Moses and those sent by Joshua by exploring the spiritual significance of both events and their application today. As with all volumes in the Series, this hardcover edition features the entire discourse text with vowel marks for the Hebrew. Prefaced by a comprehensive introduction, the discourse is translated into clear, readable English and accompanied by a helpful elucidation of the Rebbe's footnotes and explanations to clarify the text throughout.


A chasidic discourse and talk by Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson the Lubavitcher Rebbe


Translation and Commentary Rabbi Yosef B. Marcus
Often what is perceived in this world as secondary is in reality most sublime. What appears to be mundane and inconsequential is often most sacred and crucial. Thus, at their source, the garments of the human, both physical and spiritual, transcend the individual.
