(This work is made up of three books written by Rav Moshe ...)
This work is made up of three books written by Rav Moshe Chaim Luzatto, Ramchal, which he considered to contain the key to the Talmud, the "operating system" for the entire Torah She'bal Peh. We all know that the thinking of our Sages is both profound and precise, but the Ramchal was the only one to set down their thought process in an organized, systematic, and complete program that can be taught and reproduced. Contains completely revised editions of two previously printed works, plus one never before translated into English; Hebrew with facing English text, including full-color study charts. The Ways of Reason makes Gemara learning exciting and accessible to every Jew. There are tools for thinking, illustrated by extensive examples from the Gemara; and whether you are a beginner or a veteran in Torah learning, you will see mastery of the Gemara text becoming quicker and easier. The Book of Logic explores key logical concepts of Talmudic analysis that lead us into a world where ideas take on a life of their own. Based on precision and clarity of thinking, you will see that there is no Beis Midrash without new Chiddushim in Torah. The Ramchal stresses that our inherent intellectual powers must be studied, cultivated and nurtured. Conscious awareness of our thinking and our thoughts is the key to the crown of Torah. The Book of Words is a guide to the language of Chazal, using numerous examples from Tanach and Gemara. Drawing on an extraordinary understanding of human nature, Ramchal explains the rules of communication affecting the head and the heart alike. The links in the chain of our Mesora from Rabbi to student are forged from this metal, and Ramchal declares that the writings of the Prophets are virtually inaccessible without this sensitivity to language; the same holds true for the Mussar classics. This work appears here for the first time in an English edition.

(The Mesillat Yesharim an ethical (musar) text composed by...)
The Mesillat Yesharim an ethical (musar) text composed by the influential Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto (1707-1746). It is quite different from Luzzato's other writings, which are more philosophical. Mesillat Yesharim was written and published in Amsterdam. The earliest known manuscript of Mesillat Yesharim, written in 1738, was arranged as a dialogue between a hakham (wise man) and a hasid (pious person). Before publication, it was rearranged to have only one speaker. Mesillat Yesharim is probably Luzzato's most influential work, forming part of the curriculum of virtually every yeshiva since being introduced by the Mussar Movement of Rabbi Yisrael Salanter. Now available on the Kindle!

Our current exile is confusing and dark, but redemption beckons at every corner.

(Luzzatto's outstanding kabbalistic work is Kela? (= 138) ...)
Luzzatto's outstanding kabbalistic work is Kela? (= 138) Pit?ei ?okhmah, a systematic exposition of the Lurianic Kabbalah. There Luzzatto demonstrates the task which he has undertaken in the history of the Kabbalah: to reveal the internal meaning (nimshal) of the paradigms (meshalim) so numerous in the Lurianic writings, to which they tend to give an anthropomorphic coloring. Luzzatto often quotes from the works of Maimonides; in the same spirit he believes that it will be thus possible to get rid of the main cause of error concerning what is divine: materialization (hagshamah). Rejecting an interpretation which would accept the Lurianic descriptions literally (ki-feshuto) and in a materialistic sense, is for Luzzatto also part of the fight he is leading against Shabbateanism. Kela? Pit?ei ?okhmah is the perfect illustration of the close connection between logic and Kabbalah in the works of Luzzatto. The very structure of that treatise is built on the gradation rule. Each peta? door or chapter - opens with a general principle (kelal), the details or particular aspects of which are then exposed. Before turning to commentary and explaining the themes which are unique to the Lurianic Kabbalah (such as ?im?um), Luzzatto innovates by exposing the principle on which his own kabbalistic doctrine is based: divine unity conceived both as the origin and the finality of creation. He uses the distinction rule to delineate with precision the object of Kabbalah, and details what he means by "divine" (Elohut). He thus refines a principle which was already present in the works of his predecessors, such as Menahem Azarya de Fano, while giving a completely novel interpretation of ?im?um, the act of contraction or withdrawal of the divine infinity (Ein-Sof) which preceded the emanation of sefirot.

( To develop one s personality and refine one s character...)
To develop one s personality and refine one s character, in accordance with divinely ordained spiritual guidelines, is one of the essential goals of daily Jewish living. And to steer toward such a worthy destination, calls for a reliable, spiritual driver s manual. One of the most popular ethical guides for nearly 500 years has been the classic text, The Ways of the Tzaddikim (Righteous). This traditional text offers a unique approach to character development: In its breakdown of human nature, the text discusses, one by one, a variety of character traits, and contrasts them with their opposites (i.e. pride and humility, love and hate, compassion and cruelty, enthusiasm and laziness, truth and falsehood, and more). To steer clear of the negative and to accentuate the positive, as the text instructs, is one distinctive way to maintain harmony, refine character, and attain a noble spirit. The current bi-lingual edition, with a clear, accurate English translation appearing on facing pages with the Hebrew text, offers the English speaking public not only access to this treasured classic but also access to a fuller, richer, more meaningful life.

Luzzatto was born in 1707 in Padua, Italy.
He was given a thorough secular and Jewish education by his wealthy parents.
Luzzatto began his literary activity at about 16.
At 17 he wrote a treatise on Hebrew rhetoric.
He also composed 150 psalms in imitation of the Davidic Psalter and wrote numerous mystical and philosophical treatises.
The Venetian rabbinate, taking notice of his pretensions, compelled him to surrender all his mystical writings and to refrain from teaching mysticism.
He then went to Amsterdam, where he wrote his second allegorical drama, Praise to the Righteous, and composed his ethical treatise The Path of the Righteous.
He was influenced by Isaac Luria on the mystical side, and on the poetical side by Italian drama of the school of Guarini.
He attacked Leon of Modena's anti-Kabbalistic treatises, and as a result of his conflict with the Venetian Rabbinate left Italy for Amsterdam, where, like Spinoza, he maintained himself by grinding lenses.
He visited London, but finally settled in Palestine, where he died.
His best-known compositions are; the Tower of Victory (Migdal 'Oz) and Glory to the Upright (Layesharim Tehillah).
Both of these dramas, which were not printed at the time but were widely circulated in manuscript, are of the type which preceded the Shakespearean age-they are allegorical and all the characters are types.
