Y. Albo

[roza]

Is R. Y. Albo and his Sefer Haikkarim mentioned anywhere in chassidus?
What is the attitude in Chabad ( Rabbeim) to this sefer?

I found a russian translation on chassidus.ru, got curious.

[Chabadnika]

From Hayom Yom for 19 Sivan:

In the month of Marcheshvan 5613, the Tzemach Tzedek set, besides for his other shiurim, a shiur of learning with [...] the Rebbe Maharash, every day for two and a half hours - in the winter starting at 10:00 at night and in the summer at 4:00 in the morning. For two years they learned Kabbalah with Chassidic explanations. After this time - until Elul 5616, when the shiur ended, they learned philosophy sefarim: Rav Sa'adia Gaon, "Moreh Nevuchim", "Ikarim", "Kuzari", and others - according to Toras HaChassidus.

(My translation)

[Torah613]

See Sefer Maamorom 5649 (p 269 - and more, see index)

Klolei HaChinuch Vehadrocho from the FR has a reference to it.

[The Eighth King]

Also referenced throughout Sefer HaChakirah-Derech Emunah of the Tzemach Tzedek, and in the Hoisofos of the new print they included Maamar Sheini of Sefer HaIkkarim (amongst excerpts of other famous Sifrei Chakirah which are cited).

כדי להקל על הלומד העתקנו בהוספות קטעים מהספרים שמבאר אדמו"ר הצ"צ בספר זה, והם "האמונות והדעות" לרס"ג, חובת הלבבות, מלחמות ה' לרלב"ג, וספר העיקרים לר"י אלבו

[Torah613]

I believe the chiddush in my reference is that he explains it al pi chassidus (maybe the TT does also? Don't have it now to look).

[The Eighth King]

A nice chiddush... But I don't think the question was "where is this explained al pi chassidus," but "What is the attitute in Chabad (Rabbeim) to this sefer?" Best place to look is probably the place that discusses his shita in chakirah itself... so there.. my reference is better! :tongue:
