Written in 1827 during his imprisonment in Imperial Russia, Bad Kodesh is Rabbi Dovber’s articulate and heartfelt letter to the Governor of Vitebsk—a defense against baseless accusations and a masterful presentation of Jewish mystical thought. Based on Kabbalah as taught in Chabad Chasidism, the work distills core ideas of Judaism for a rational, non-Jewish audience, making it uniquely accessible.

This edition includes:

An insightful foreword excerpted from the diary of the sixth Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak, narrating the events surrounding the arrest.

This edition also includes detailed notes by the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

It is presented in a clean, updated layout with modern typography.

Ideal for students of Jewish thought, history, mysticism, or anyone interested in Chabad’s intellectual heritage.
