In the Footsteps of the Chassidic Masters

The Baal Shem Tov and his inspired successors, the Chassidic Masters through the generations, comprise a study of greatness unprecedented in this millennium. In this tape series, Rabbi Twerski, scion of many of the movement's greatest masters, offers us a glimpse into the lives and contributions of these luminaries of the spirit. In exquisitely crafted biographies and excerpts from their works, we are introduced to the unique forces which shaped our past, and provide singular counsel for the present and future.
