Tikun HaBris & Kivrei Tzadikim: The Power of Spiritual Rectification In this powerful and heartfelt talk, we explore the deep spiritual concept of Tikun HaBris—the rectification of the holy covenant—and its essential role in Jewish life and personal transformation. Drawing on the profound teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov and Reb Noson, we uncover how failures in the area of sexual purity are not just private struggles, but spiritual blemishes that impact one's honor, clarity, and connection to God. The speaker addresses the shame and embarrassment that often accompany this topic and shows how it can either destroy a person or be transformed into a source of tremendous growth and holiness. Learn why visiting the gravesites of tzaddikim (righteous individuals)—true spiritual giants—is a powerful tool for healing and reconnecting to your spiritual root. ✨ Discover: Why this area is the greatest test—and opportunity—for honor How Yosef HaTzaddik passed his test and became a symbol of true greatness The mystical link between the Land of Israel, sexual purity, and divine honor How prayer, enthusiasm, and spiritual vitality are directly connected to holiness in this area
Learning from Rebbe Nachman ben Faiga Simcha of Breslov we get a deep inner understanding of the importance of the Seder System Pinimi Elevating Souls from doing our Avodah aka Service Correctly. So reincarnated Souls are being elevated through us blessings
Unlock the secrets of personal growth and spiritual fulfillment as we journey through the teachings of Reb Nachman of Breslov. Discover how the inherent light within each of us can serve as a beacon of hope and strength during challenging times. Engage with the profound significance of the four special Torah portions read in the month of Adar—Shekalim, Zachor, Parah, and HaChodesh. Each portion is a compelling reminder of pivotal Jewish values and historical events, encouraging charity, remembrance, and purity as we prepare for Passover and recognize Nisan as the first month. This episode offers a rich tapestry of teachings, connecting ancient wisdom to the modern quest for personal and spiritual growth.Explore the transformative power of small acts of humility and selflessness as we highlight the symbolism of the new moon and its reflection on our spiritual journeys. Through Moshe's preparation and foresight, as he gathered Joseph's bones and cedar wood for the tabernacle, we learn the importance of intention and preparation for future growth. Embrace the idea that true fulfillment of religious duties often lies in the spirit of generosity and self-sacrifice, and not in the pursuit of honor. This episode invites you to align your desires with a higher purpose and find joy in bringing happiness to others, deepening your spiritual connection along the way.Dedicated to my dear friend Rabbi Yaakov Wohlgelernter who opened my eyes and shared this Torah with me. May the inspiration that results from this episode be a merit to a Refuah Sheleimah for Elka Devorah bas Miriam Rivka Chana._____________Recorded from a live audience presentation in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studios (B) in Houston, Texas on March 25, 2025.Released as Podcast on March 27, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Send us a textThis lecture explores the profound parable of The Thief by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, who teaches that every soul contends with an inner thief—an inclination that robs us of our divine light. Drawing parallels between this concept and the Ten Plagues, Rabbi Bernath delves into how each plague symbolizes a distortion of the ten faculties of the soul, as described in Kabbalah. These ancient episodes of spiritual dysfunction mirror the psychological struggles we face today. Through understanding the anatomy of our soul and the symbolic meaning of the plagues, we uncover a roadmap to self-recovery and spiritual transformation.Takeaways:The Inner Thief: Recognizing the negative impulses within us is the first step to reclaiming our inner peace.Plagues as Life Lessons: The Ten Plagues symbolize spiritual dysfunctions in the soul, offering timeless lessons for introspection and growth.Refinement of the Soul: Each plague corresponds to a faculty of the soul—confidence, compassion, love, and others—highlighting the necessity to channel these energies positively.Path to Redemption: Liberation from our "Mitzrayim" begins with honest self-awareness, confronting our inner distortions, and returning to our divine purpose.The Power of Recovery: Even when the thief within seems to have consumed all, recovery and renewal are always possible.#Kabbalah #TenPlagues #Judaism #Jewish #Egypt #Mitzrayim #InnerThief #Sprirital #JewishHistory #Bible #Exodus #Vaera #TorahPortion #Torah #TorahLessons Create Harmony This is a podcast about setting an intentional rhythm, savoring life's blessings and...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Eye-Opening Moments PodcastEye-Opening Moments are stories of adversity, encounters, and perspectives.

Through the works of Kabbalah and Hasidic philosophy, the discussion delves into the profound levels of gratitude, highlighting the difference between will and pleasure, and the importance of recognizing and savoring joyful moments in life, as taught by the Baal Shem Tov and his successors. The script also ties in the relevance of Shabbos, the essence of Torah, and the mystical oil of Chanukah, ending with a thought-provoking connection to childbirth and the messianic future, emphasizing living with the recognition of every moment as an expression of God's unity and love.00:00 Introduction and Dedication00:11 Rav Nachman's Teachings on Chanukah and Gratitude01:28 Preface to Rav Nachman's Teachings: Kabbalah and Hasidic Philosophy03:48 The Concept of Sha'aShuei HaMelech06:36 Pleasure vs. Will: A Deeper Understanding08:57 Mindfulness and Gratitude: Lessons from Kurt Vonnegut11:44 Living with Emunah: The Teachings of the Baal Shem Tov14:36 The Essence of Shabbos and Messianic Living19:46 The Anxiety of the Week and the Tranquility of Shabbos22:44 Bringing Kedusha into the Mundane33:35 The Secret of Chanukah: Illuminating the Darkness37:37 Conclusion: The Birth of Mashiach Consciousness
R' Gedaliah JaffeIn this episode, the speaker kicks off a new Torah study focused on the teachings from the second volume of L'kutei Moharan by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. Centering on the theme of Chanukah, they explore the profound significance of Hodoah (gratitude) and how it connects us to Hashem. Through personal anecdotes and teachings from various rabbis, the speaker emphasizes the importance of consistently expressing gratitude, highlighting it as a unique aspect of serving Hashem and recognizing His miracles in both the mundane and miraculous aspects of life. They delve into the idea that gratitude can transform our physical experiences and bring us closer to divine presence.

Torah is the Koach - Rabbeinu Nachman of Breslov Torah 36 4 in Likutei Moharan is the needed preparation for Chanukah 5785, Unification of our Tribes, 12 words of the Shema, etc Breslov.org explanation fits here
Overcoming Pitfalls in Pursuit of Authentic Hisbodedus PracticeIn this video, the speaker shares personal experiences and challenges faced while practicing Hisbodedus, a form of personal prayer in the Breslov tradition. The video discusses two major pitfalls: the first is the pressure to prove one's identity as a Breslov follower by adhering strictly to practices, which can lead to burnout. The second pitfall is the struggle to be genuine and authentic during prayer, which hampers the ability to connect deeply with Hashem. The speaker emphasizes the importance of inward authenticity and self-worth to foster a meaningful and honest relationship with Hashem.00:00 Introduction and Personal Journey00:17 The Pitfall of Proving Self-Worth02:47 Authenticity and Genuine Connection06:05 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
Exploring the Power of Hisboididus: Self-Discovery and Connecting with GodIn this episode, the speaker delves into the teachings of Rav Nosson and emphasizes three essential practices for Breslov students: daily hisboididus (personal prayer and self-isolation), studying halacha, and the significance of Rosh Hashanah. Hisboididus, as taught by the Rebbe, is portrayed as an ultimate means of self-discovery and a powerful spiritual tool that can surpass other religious practices. The discussion includes the challenges one faces in making time for hisboididus, the importance of being alone to connect with oneself and God, and the notion that sincere self-reflection can lead to significant personal and spiritual growth. The speaker also shares a story illustrating the internal struggle between maintaining comfort in familiar habits and the transformative potential of hisboididus.00:00 Introduction to the Three Essential Practices00:27 Understanding Hisbodedus01:20 The Concept of Being Alone03:33 Discovering Your True Self06:33 The Role of Imagination and Feelings08:18 The Importance of Making Time for Yourself12:26 Challenges and Misconceptions12:58 Therapeutic Techniques and Self-Discovery19:30 Connecting Hisbodedus with Torah and Tehillim20:45 The Cheesecake and Whipped Cream Analogy23:16 Conclusion: Overcoming Fear

R' Judah Klein - Torah 25 TinyanaThe Power of Personal Prayer: Connecting with Hashem in Your Own LanguageThis script delves into the concept of 'Hisbodidus'—a personal meditation and prayer practiced primarily within the Breslov tradition. It emphasizes the importance of speaking to Hashem (God) in one's own language rather than using formal, traditional religious language (Lashon HaKodesh). The speaker discusses how personal and intimate conversations in one's 'mother tongue' can foster a deeper, more genuine connection with Hashem. The discussion includes insights from various religious texts and Tzaddikim (righteous individuals), underscoring the value of authenticity and self-expression in spiritual practice. The key message is to break away from rigid, script-like prayers and embrace a more heartfelt, conversational approach to deepen one's spiritual experience.Chapters00:00 Introduction 00:13 The Concept of Hisbodedus00:48 Challenges in Expressing Emotions02:37 The Importance of Personal Language04:02 Connecting with Hashem Through Personal Experience05:39 Practical Steps 07:16 The Role of Individuality in Spiritual Practice10:37 The Power of Personal Stories12:47 The Unique Language of Each Individual13:22 Practical Examples of Personal Prayer16:51 The Value of Everyday Experiences28:30 Concluding Thoughts and Encouragement

There's a well-known saying found in many of the sifreh Acharonim , אין דבר עומד בפני הרצון , which literally means nothing can stand in the way of a person's will. Rabbi Menashe Reizman cautioned that misinterpreting this statement can lead to giving people false hope and letdowns. On the surface, this statement seems to be saying that if a person wants something badly enough, with perseverance, he'll eventually get it. But as we know, only Hashem decides if a person gets what he tries to get. A person can try from here until tomorrow, but if Hashem doesn't want him to achieve his goal, he won't achieve it. Everybody is given a different mission in life. Some people are meant to become great Rosheh Yeshiva . Some people are meant to become great baaleh tefilah . Some people are meant to become great in chesed and community service. Not everyone is capable of becoming a Rosh Yeshiva, because Hashem didn't give everyone the brain capacity for it. Of course, everyone is encouraged to become the best they could be, but there are no guarantees when it comes to results. So what does אין דבר העומד בפני הרצון mean? Rabbi Nachman of Breslov explained, אין לך דבר שמונע ממך לרצות - there is nothing that can stop a person from having a will to succeed. Even if a person is not capable of achieving something due to the limitations that Hashem gave him, he can still yearn and dream to become a certain type of person. Results are not in our control, but our will is in our control. A person should want to become great in all areas of Torah and mitzvot. He has to wish that he can pray like the greats of all time. He has to wish that he can learn Torah like the greats of all time. He has to wish that he can have the middot of the greats of all time. And the list goes on. We are always obligated to do what is in our control, and a major part of that is getting ourselves to want greatness. If someone is not capable of sitting for many hours straight learning Torah, he can still serve Hashem with his will to want to do that. We must put in our full effort and try to accomplish our goals, but we should not get discouraged if we aren't successful. If we wanted it and we tried hard, we were automatically successful. And if it has been determined that in a certain area something is beyond our capabilities, we can still continue to serve Hashem in that same area with our yearning alone. We once mentioned the Panim Yafot in the name of the Arizal, on the pasuk in Yeshayah perek 54, רוני עקרה לו ילדה . The barren one should rejoice, כי רבים בני שוממה מבני בעולה because she has more children than the ones who are able to have children. How do we understand this? How could a barren woman be better off with children than a woman who has children? The answer is, the barren woman yearns for children, and she has the purest intentions. She begs Hashem for a child, just so she could raise it in the ways of Torah and mitzvot. She dreams of having the perfect child that she's going to invest so much time and energy in, a child that will bring Hashem so much satisfaction. This desire of the barren woman is producing the holiest neshamot that actually come down into this world. The physical bodies may be from other families, but the holy neshamot they are producing and they will be rewarded for all eternity for what their pure intentions have produced. Nothing can ever get in the way of a person's will. As we approach the Yamim Nora'im , it is an opportune time to work on desiring greatness, to want to be the best in all areas of Torah and mitzvot, and b'ezrat Hashem, Hashem will see our pure intentions and efforts and bless them with siyata d'Shamaya .

The cradle of the Chassidic movement was in the areas of the Polish Kingdom which were soon annexed to the Russian Empire during the partitions of Poland in the last quarter of the 18th century. This took place just as the nascent movement was spreading rapidly throughout these areas and beyond. Chabad in White Russia, the various branches of the Chernobyl and Ruzhyn dynasties in Ukraine, Karlin, Slonim, Apta, Savran, Breslov and many other smaller dynasties dotted the countryside across the Pale of Settlement. The Czarist government initially didn't recognize the chassidim as a separate entity within the Jewish community, though the initial stages of legislation actually benefited the development of the movement. The opponents of the Chassidic movement – misnaggdim and maskilim, as well as the chassidim themselves, at times attempted to involve the government in their internal disputes. Later in the 19th century the Russian government specifically singled out Chassidic custom, dress and leadership, and the chassidim of Russia had to contend with the unique circumstances of their communities development within the greater context of the challenges of the overall Jewish community in the Pale of Settlement under the autocratic rule of the Romanovs. Cross River, a leading financial institution committed to supporting its communities, is proud to sponsor Jewish History Soundbites.
