In the month of Marcheshvan 5613 (1852) the Tzemach Tzedek started an additional program of study with my grandfather, [1] besides the Tzemach Tzedek's regular studies.
This was for two and a half hours daily, starting at 10:00 p.m. winters, and at 4:00 a.m. summers.
For two years they studied Kabala with chassidic interpretation. Thereafter, until Elul 5616 (1856), when this special program ceased, they studied the following philosophical works:
Those of R. Saadya Gaon, and Moreh Nevuchim, Ikarim, Kuzari, etc. - according to Chassidic teachings.
Notes:
R. Shmuel, the Tzemach Tzedek's son; later, the Rebbe Maharash (4th Rebbe of the Chabad - Lubavitch Movement).
