Toras Chaim (Chabad)

Toras Chaim (Hebrew: תורת חיים, "Torah of Life") is a two-volume work of Hasidic discourses on the books of Genesis and Exodus by the second Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Dovber Schneuri.

Rabbi Schneerson explained that Torah Or expanded on the ideas in Tanya, however, through studying Toras Chaim these concepts would be fully elucidated.

The various editions slowly expanded the multi-volume work until it had included Hasidic treatises covering the first two books of the Bible, Genesis and Exodus.

Additionally, a series of unpublished Hasidic treatises by Rabbi Dovber covering the book of Exodus were included in a separate second volume.

[7][8] The central Chabad publishing house in Brooklyn, Kehot Publication Society, republished Toras Chaim in 1974,[9] 1993[8] and 2004.
