Lessons In Tanya, 5-volume compact gift set (Buy from the publisher)
"A well-lit and accesible gateway to Tanya, and the most authoritative guide to
its riches. A linear exposition and commentary on Tanya based on a popular
weekly radio series in Yiddish. Rabbi Wineberg's commentary draws upon the
teachings he received from Chasidic scholars at the renowned academies of
Lubavitch in Europe and the writings of seven generations of Chabad Rebbes.
Each of the lectures was examined and amended by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi
Menachem M. Schneerson, so that much of the material includes the Rebbe's
insights and explanatory comments. Lessons in Tanya leads the reader through
every paragraph and page, illuminating the mystical, often allusive, Talmudic,
Kabbalistic, and Scriptural verses and concepts. It fills many gaps in what the
terse Tanya text assumes to be the reader's background knowledge" [this
description from the Kehot Publication Society, the publisher].

The Pirkei Avos Treasury: Ethics of the Fathers (Buy from
Amazon.com)
"Pirkei Avos ("Chapters of the Fathers") is usually called 'Ethics of the Fathers'.... The Talmudic Sages called it simply Fathers—or, better said, parents—because it is the guide to behavior, attitudes, civility, honor, integrity, faith, aspiration, and much more.... In Pirkei Avos we sit at the feet of the spiritual giants who guided [Israel] through five turbulent centuries. If the Jewish people has taught the world about faith, kindness, sensitivity, and all the values that society lumps under the rubric of 'civilization,' it is because it learned those lessons from the 'fathers' whose teachings are recorded in this magnificent volume.... Pirkei Avos is illuminated with a commentary anthologized from two thousand years of Rabbinic literature".... [this description from Mesorah Publications, the publisher].
