Ikar hateshuva — shyishma bizyono yidom v'yishtok. Hear your humiliation. Be still. That is the way back. Shiur 2 in the weekly Torah series on the Lost Princess of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, at the Sephardic Center on Avenue P in Brooklyn. With R' Nachman Fried. This shiur picks up right where Shiur 1 left off — and walks through the spiritual lull between Shavuos and Rosh Hashana, the moment the words slipped from the King's mouth, and the moment the viceroy stood up uninvited and asked, give me a servant, give me a horse, give me money for the journey. The Rebbe is teaching us, in every detail, who the tzaddik is — and who we are. What we cover: The Rebbe is for everyone — vos art es mir az einer bentcht zich b'kavana un nisht visen az es iz fun mir. What does it bother me if someone bentches with kavana and doesn't know it's from me? The Rebbe never cared if you became his chassid. He cared if you connected to Hashem. The post-Shavuos void — why the Torah deliberately leaves us with no Yom Tov between Shavuos and Rosh Hashana. The trigger we're trying to distract from is underneath the boredom — and Hashem put it there on purpose. The three beliefs — Hashem, the tzaddik, and (the one the yetzer hara works hardest to break) YOU. The ladybug-in-the-pool story. You are relevant. You can't make peace with terrorists — my father olav hashalom, the yetzer hara's real address (not Ibiza — your head), and why the doubt about your own relevance is the yesod of Amalek. Ego = Edging G-d Out — how every time we let our strength protect our weakness, we lay down another iron layer between us and the chelek Eloka mima'al inside. The avoda — yishma bizyono, yidom v'yishtok. Hear your humiliation. Stay quiet. Stay present. That is the kli the light is waiting to fill. The story moves — the broiges, the words that slipped from the King's mouth (vnishtguter zol dir nemen), the lost princess vanishing, and the moment the viceroy stood up without being asked. That uninvited amad is the tzaddik. That uninvited amad is the tzaddik in you. Compassion needs Da'as — feeling someone's pain is rachmanus. Acting on it is l'rachem. The bridge between them is da'as — and da'as is what lets you see the godliness inside the table, the chair, the meshulach at your door. Why he asked for a servant, a horse, and money — chavruta + nefesh habahamis (to ride, not to be ridden) + parnassa for the road. We were the viceroy. We agreed to come down here. We said yes. The action plan — bli neder, one moment of humiliation this week. With your wife if you're married. With a partner. In business. One time. Hear it. Stay. Don't run. That's how the chomah stays standing and the Lost Princess can be heard again. —
We speak of different types of cases of Ikar and Tafel.
This is a recording of Rabbi David Kasher's weekly parsha study class from 5.27.2026, co-sponsored by Hadar and IKAR.
Mishna Berurah notes that even according to the Rama, if one is eating the Tafel first and it is Chaviv, it will demand its own Bracha. The Mishna Berurah discusses one last case of Ikar and Tafel, where the Tafel is used only as a delivery device for the Ikar.
The Magen Avraham disagrees with the Rama's understanding that the Bracha is downgraded to SheHaKol when the Tafel is consumed before the Ikar.
We discuss the Rama's comments regarding eating the Tafel before the Ikar.
The Rama discusses eating the Tafel prior to the Ikar and what that means for a Bracha.

Ikar ha-da'as hu achdus shel chasadim u'gvuros — true knowledge is the unity of kindness and restraint. Likutey Moharan, Torah Daled (Torah 4) — Shiur 2, with Rabbi Rietti. We finish the recap of paragraphs alef–gimel and walk paragraph daled be'kius, on the way toward zayin. Recorded the week of Matan Torah — the ultimate achdus. What we cover: Recap — the glimpse of Olam Haba — me'ein Olam Haba is from ayin, an eye: not a taste but a glimpse. The complete da'as that everything — the good and the "bad" — flows from one source, Hashem, who is only good, rooted in ahavah, chesed, and achdus. Vidui devarim before a talmid chacham — why this is not a Breslever chiddush: sources in Shas, Nach, and the Rambam (Hilchos Teshuvah, perek alef). And why vidui (from hoda'ah — to admit / to thank) is not the Catholic "confession." Seif daled — "u'kshe'yeida kol zos" — when a person knows all this, it is called yediya shleima. And ikar ha-da'as is the perfect unity of chasadim u'gvuros — chesed and gevura combined. (Why da'as is the joining of the two, not a sefira of its own.) What gevura actually means — not "power" but restraint. Mai gevuraso shel HaKadosh Baruch Hu? — Eizehu gibor? Ha'kovesh es yitzro. Hashem's gevura is erech apayim — His patience, holding back even with the reshaim. The highest demonstration of His gevura is that He withholds full puranus. Puranus and onesh — re-translated — puranus means payment, not "punishment" (Loshon Hakodesh has no word for punishment). Onesh = ayin (an eye that sees) + nash (to fall) — being shown how I have fallen. Mida k'neged mida is built to let a person see his own mistake. Examples in halacha — the eved ivri who stole and is treated with such chesed that he learns to care; the arei miklat (48 cities of the Levi'im); and the mitzvah of road signs at every junction in Eretz Yisroel. How Rebbe Nachman learns a pasuk — quoting pesukim and Gemaros "out of order" as drush; bittulah shel Torah zu hi kiyuma vs. yesoda — and why the kiyum (a building standing) depends entirely on the yesod (the foundation), per the Maharal.
The Mishna Berurah discusses whether Chaviv could override the standard rules of Ikar and Tafel.

We discuss situations where the Bracha is made on an Ikar and the Tafel isn't present. We also discuss situations where a bona fide Tafel gets its own Bracha and how it is treated specially.
We discuss determining Ikar and Tafel when consuming the foods at different times.
We continue to define what is considered Ikar when dealing with two foods or a mixture. We also discuss the special treatment of foods made of the five grains.
We begin the rules of Ikar and Tafel in the context of Brachot. We start to define what is considered Ikar, primary.

התוכן בנוגע למצות ספירת העומר [שבפ' אמור] נשאלת השאלה: מהי ענינה של הספירה אם לא נעשה עי"ז לכאו' שום שינוי בהיום?! והביאור: ענינה של ספירה היא למנות דבר בעל-חשיבות. ובעניננו, חשיבות ימים אלו היא שבהם יצאו בנ"י ממצרים ונעשו בני חורין וכו'. וע"י שסופרים את היום מוסיפים בו עוד חשיבות. ועפ"ז מובן למה מברכים ברכת ספירת העומר בכל יום (ודלא כברכת "שהחיינו" שמברכים רק ביום הראשון של החג, או בפעם הראשונה שנהנים מפרי חדש או בגד חדש), כי יהודי מבין שכל יום נוסף אינו רק המשך ליום שלפנ"ז, אלא בכל יום צריך להתווסף ענין של חיות הקשורה עם "תורת חיים". והדגשה מיוחדת בזה בנוגע ל"עקרת הבית" הקובעת את ההנהגה בבית שתהי' קשורה עם ה"עיקר" - תורת חיים וכו'. משיחת יום א' פ' במדבר, כ"ג אייר ה'תשמ"ט, בהכינוס של אגודת נשי ובנות חב"ד תחיינה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=28-04-2026 Synopsis Regarding the mitzvah of Sefiras Ha'Omer (in parashas Emor), the question is asked: What is the purpose of counting days, which seemingly doesn't change the day in any way? The explanation is as follows: People count things that have importance. In this case, the importance of these days is that they are the days during which the Jewish people left Egypt and became free etc., and by counting each day, one adds even greater importance and significance to it. This also explains why the bracha on Sefiras Ha'Omer is made every day (unlike the bracha Shehechiyanu, which is recited only on the first day of a Yom Tov, or the first time one benefits from a new fruit or a new garment): A Jew understands that every new day is not merely a continuation of the day before. Rather, every day must be infused with additional vitality from the Toras of life. And there is a special emphasis here on the Jewish woman, the Akeres Habayis (mainstay of the home), who sets the home's conduct in a way that aligns with the Ikar (the main focus of things), which is the Torah of life etc.Excerpt from sichah of Sunday, parashas Bamidbar, 23 Iyar 5749 – to N'shei U'Bnos Chabad For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=28-04-2026 לזכות שמעון צבי הכהן בן חוה רחל שי' ליום ההולדת שלו י"א אייר - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

Hovorí sa o pomoci ruských vplyvových zložiek, o tesnom súboji, o konci Orbána aj o diktatúre Bruselu. O pár týždňov čakajú Maďarsko voľby a v krajine to vyzerá, ako by v nej kandidoval ukrajinský prezident alebo euroúradníci. Čo sa teda v Maďarsku deje, či môže Orbán skončiť a čo s tým všetkým má Rusko? Tomáš Prokopčák sa v podcaste Dobré ráno pýta Lukáša Onderčanina. Zdroj zvukov: STVR Odporúčanie Slovenské sci-fi má splatený ďalší dlh, vydavateľstvo Ikar sa totiž rozhodlo nanovo (mám taký pocit, že kniha už kdesi vyšla v deväťdesiatych) vydať kultový román Kontakt Carla Sagana. Väčšina z nás to síce pozná ako film s Jodie Fosterovou, no ja teraz odporúčam túto knižnú klasiku. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hope seems like a simple concept, but the feeling can be difficult to hold onto. And when times are difficult and chaos swirls around us, it's more important than ever. How do we find and practice hope when it's elusive? Spiritual and religious leaders rely on centuries of experience and wisdom to continually guide people back to hope, and this episode's discussion from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival draws from these experts. Lutheran pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber founded the House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver, and doesn't shy away from unorthodox methods of ministry. Rabbi Sharon Brous is the founder and leader of IKAR, a nondenominational Jewish congregation in Los Angeles. Humanist chaplain Greg Epstein works with the populations at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Union Theological Seminary professor and the former director of the Religion and Society Program at the Aspen Institute, Simran Jeet Singh, introduces and moderates the conversation.
