Todays Hayom Yom - My grandfather said that the Mitteler Rebbe wrote specific maamarim and a special book for every different kind of maskil and oveid1 in the Chassidic community. Shaar Hayichud and Shaarei Ora, however, are general, written for all chassidim. Shaar Hayichud is the key to the teachings of Chassidus; Shaarei Ora is the alef-beit of Chassidus. FOOTNOTES 1. Maskil is the term used to denote one who devotes himself primarily to the intellectual aspects of Chassidus, while the oveid devotes himself primarily to the emotional and worship aspects. The oveid is a maskil and the maskil is an oveid, for the intellectual and emotional are both essential, and symbiotic. The distinction is merely in their primary emphasis.
