I recommended to my grandfather to start learning Tanya, apparently he started, but his age and health make learning from inside a safer more difficult, and so he asked me today if I had any way of getting R' Yoel Kahn's tapes on the Tanya.
Tbh I didn't look around too much b4 making this post, but figured it would be quicker this way..sorry for that.
Anyone have a link or info on where I can access shiurim if R' Yoel kahn on the Tanya?

Otzarhachassidus.com

I doubt whether @Philosophypsych 's grandfather would be able to navigate that site, and I dare say that it's not that easy for non-Israelis and non-techies, the filtering and/or drill down isn't that intuitive.

If you want to reach R' Yoel's shiurim on Tanya, you would want to navigate by ספרים->ספרי אדמו"ר הזקן->תניא and then UNCHECK תניא, expand the section you want to learn (e.g. ליקוטי אמרים, שער היחוד והאמונה, etc.) and check ONLY what you want to see. You can then scroll down in the sidebar, expand the מגיד שיעור section (probably need to scroll up to see R' Yoel's name) and check only the name you want. The filters seem to work in a way of יש בכלל מאתיים מנה, so if you have תניא checked, it will show all shiurim for all sections, to drill down you need to uncheck תניא and check only what you want to see.

If English is the language, then Rabbi Paltiel's InsideChassidus.org is my favorite.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Oh wow thanks for those detailed instructions! Will forsure save me a ton of time ..
And I'll show him both options, but I'm guessing he's gonna opt for R' Yoels considering he's 85 and learned in Shir by R berel soleveitchik, and heard shiurim from R' Shloime Wolbe, whenever he hears something in Yiddish a smile appears on his face :)
And I would be able to download or would have to stream?

I was unfamiliar with the website, so I followed the link myself, and discovered the navigation issues.

I hope you can download, IDK, I didn't try. And yes, based on what you describe he would probably enjoy R Yoel over Rabbi Paltiel.

Change default order to make it more logical.

Well I did find myself at least twice :)

Okay I'll start.

"Wisdom, Understanding, [and] Knowledge" makes Wuk, not Chabad. You are making no sense at all.

This is what they're referring to in the marvelous middos machine when they say the WUKie jukie plant makes one see things clearly

No, it just makes you less transparent.

That branch moved to Morristown in the 1970s IINM (I know someone who was there during the last year there and moved along to Morristown).

There are quite a few people who were זוכה to a proper Torah chinuch due to the fact that Lubavitch accepted everyone regardless of ability to pay. Some became Chassidim while others didn't.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Hopefully your question doesn’t have to do with the past line :P

They certainly didn’t mince their words back then and called a spade a spade.

I found this thread and the replies (see the quote tweets as well) quite moving. Putting those pictures to the tales we grew up on....wow.
