For those who are unfamiliar, Sidduro Shel Shabbat is an awesome sefer that explains the deeper meaning behind all the aspects of Shabbat. In the process of explaining this, the author also gives us a very clear understanding of many of the fundamental concepts of Chassidut.
The author is Rabbi Chaim of Chernovitz (1760-1816) also known as the Be'er Maim Chaim which is his sefer on the weekly Torah portions. He was a student of a student of the Baal Shem Tov. I will try to give some more background in the future, but I definitely recommend the mp3 shiurim of Rav Weinberger to explain a little more about his life.
Rabbi Chaim of Chernovitz is buried in Tzfat in a cave a few meters away from the Arizal.
I have been really enjoying his seforim for a few years. Rabbi Weinberger refers to him as a real baal masbir.....someone who really explains things very clearly. He does not just allude to lofty concepts but tends to really explain them fully using many parables, which makes his teaching particularly special.
