The Path of the Just – Mesillas Yesharim

description of book Path of the Just  was written in Hebrew by the Ramchal – Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, and was first published in 1740 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The book is designed to help a person elevate his moral  behavior, and is based on the Babylonian Talmud’s listing of the measurements and virtues, leading a person to a gradual increase in moral behavior and fear of Hashem “according to  honesty and ethics” – to the point of spiritual transcendence and holiness. This new English translation for the contemporary reader by Rabbi Yosef Leibler, accompanied by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Shlanger’s helpful side captions, includes a study schedule of the text for the entire year. Highly recommended!
