In this in-depth (be'iyun) shiur, R' Rietti returns to Torah 4 in the first chelek of Likutey Moharan, learning how the opening pasuk of the Aseres Hadibros — Anochi Hashem Elokecha asher hotzeisicha me'eretz Mitzrayim — holds the entire structure of creation within it, from Bereishis all the way to Matan Torah and Klal Yisrael.At the heart of the lesson is one line of Rebbe Nachman: keshe'adam yodeia shekol me'ora'av hem letovaso — when a person truly knows that everything that happens to him comes from Hashem and is for his good. That da'as, Rebbe Nachman teaches, is a taste of Olam Haba and the way out of ye'ush. And its absence is the real root of suffering itself.In this shiur:Anochi Hashem as the axis of the whole Torah, and how Jewish identity becomes fixed at Har SinaiAsher / Ashrei — Hashem took us out of Mitzrayim with simcha, and the unity of rachamim (Havayah) and din (Elokim)Why da'as is the difference between feeling crushed by yisurim and living with clarityLashon Hakodesh, the oisiyos, and nitzotzos — how Hashem's word builds realityNear-death experiences as a partial glimpse of the world of truthNachum Ish Gamzu and gam zu letovah — and the even higher level that needs no visible resolutionIyov's Hashem nasan, Hashem lakach, yehi shem Hashem mevorachTraining the mind toward kol d'avid Rachmana letav avid#LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #Torah4 #Emunah #Daas #GamZuLetovah #OlamHaba #JewishWisdom #Chassidus #Hisbodedus #RabbiRietti

Continuing the in-depth (b'iyun) journey through Torah 4 in the first chelek of Likutey Moharan, R' Rietti returns to the opening pasuk of the Aseres Hadibros — Anochi Hashem Elokecha asher hotzeisicha me'eretz Mitzrayim — the words we heard directly from Hakadosh Baruch Hu at Har Sinai. From that revelation flows the whole lesson: a glimpse of Olam Haba is the state in which we know that nothing can go wrong, because Ein Od Milvado — there is nothing besides Him.Rebbe Nachman teaches that every kind of pain and suffering comes from a lack of da'as. When a person truly knows that everything is from Hashem and that Hashem is only good, the very experience of suffering changes. This shiur draws in Torah 250 (Reish Nun) and builds toward the closing thought: everything a person could ever acquire is worth nothing without this da'as — the knowing that Hashem is the One standing behind your spouse, your parnasa, and everything in your life.In this shiur:A glimpse of Olam Haba = knowing nothing can go wrong (ביום ההוא יהיה ה' אחד ושמו אחד)Ein Od Milvado — why the nations and enemies of history, in truth, "don't exist"All yisurim and pain rooted in a lack of da'asChanging your mazel through tefillahDa'as as Hashem's own mind — and what happens when the mind is "full" (uk'shenishlam hada'as)The klalos and the exiles — Crusades, the Inquisition, the Marranos — read through this lensThe closing: what is everything a person acquires worth, without da'as?#LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #Torah4 #EinOdMilvado #Daas #Emunah #OlamHaba #JewishWisdom #Chassidus #Hisbodedus #RabbiRietti

In this powerful women's class, Rabbi Baruch Gartner explores Rebbe Nachman's profound teachings on Holy Wealth — the idea that every Jew is destined for wealth, honor, and influence, drawn from the same spiritual root as the soul. Drawing from Likutey Moharan and stories of great tzaddikim like Yosef HaTzadik and the Arizal, Rabbi Gartner explains how anger and frustration block divine abundance, while shalom bayis (peace in the home) and joyful mitzvos open the channels of blessing. He highlights the crucial role of women in supporting their husbands, improving communication, and transforming the home into a palace of holy wealth and inspiration. A must-listen for anyone seeking greater harmony, purpose, and abundance in marriage and life. “Honor your wife so that you will be wealthy” — Chazal

We all know the moment: a flash of "I made a mistake — I want to change." A hirhur teshuvah, a thought of return. So why does it so rarely turn into anything? In this live, give-and-take shiur — the third in the Sephardic Center series on Rebbe Nachman's tale of the Lost Princess — we sit with that exact question. Walking through the opening of the story, we watch the King turn into aviha — her father — the moment his daughter is lost. It's not the King who gives decrees and stays distant. It's your Father, and He's in pain. He misses you. That shift is the whole secret of why the search begins — and why our own thought of teshuvah is meant to move us. Along the way: why the spark sparks but the engine won't turn over; why summer is the hardest stretch; the painful Uman cycle of swearing at Rabbeinu's tziyun every Erev Rosh Hashana and falling again; what nekudos tovos have to do with it; and the eitzah — instead of demanding the whole transformation at once, stay inside the hirhur teshuvah, feel the pain of causing your Father pain, and take it one pound at a time. Plus an unforgettable personal story of a child's journey behind the Iron Curtain in 1976 — turned away from Uman, interrogated, and brought instead to the Baal Shem Tov's kever to say Tikkun HaKlali. We close with Rabbeinu's promise: hirhur teshuvah she'lo yashuv od le'ivalto — bring Him your broken stones and your cement, and He will build. In this shiur: The hirhur teshuvah — and why it doesn't become action The King who becomes a Father in pain "It's not the King who misses you — it's your Father" The Uman cycle, nekudos tovos, and not mistaking the spark for the victory The eitzah: stay in the thought, feel the pain, one step at a time A true story from behind the Iron Curtain, 1976 Part of Eilech V'anaseh — a journey through Rebbe Nachman's Lost Princess. #Breslov #RebbeNachman #LostPrincess #Teshuvah #HirhurTeshuvah #Eilech Vanaseh #Uman #Hisbodedus #Hashem #Emunah #SippureiMaasiyos #Chassidus #Torah #JewishWisdom #Spirituality #Faith #RoshHashana #BaalShemTov #JewishPodcast #Shiur

Rabbi Chaim Kramer, founder of the Breslov Research Institute, opens up Rebbe Nachman's tale of the Lost Princess — the story Rebbe Nachman said awakens a hirhur teshuvah, a thought of return, in anyone who hears it. In this warm, practical shiur, Rabbi Kramer brings the story straight into daily life: what teshuvah really is and why it's available every single day; how to make Hashem real through hisbodedus — private, heartfelt conversation with Hashem, speaking to Him the way you'd speak to a close friend; and why the most important "leg" of emunah is believing in yourself. If you can believe you damaged something, you can believe you're able to repair it. Along the way he weaves in Reb Noson's teachings from Likutey Halachos and Likutey Moharan: the secret hidden in the laws of kashrus — the things we have to work hard for versus the gifts that simply arrive on their own; the power of staying silent in the face of humiliation as the highest form of teshuvah; and the hidden Name of Hashem, Ehyeh — "I will be." A story-filled, down-to-earth talk on returning to Hashem, finding Him 24/7, and never giving up on yourself. In this shiur: What teshuvah really is — and why it's available every day Hisbodedus: talking to Hashem like a friend Emunah as a four-legged chair — and why believing in yourself is the key leg Hirhur teshuvah: the single thought that can change everything Kashrus as a map for trusting Hashem (Likutey Halachos) Accepting humiliation in silence — the highest teshuvah (Likutey Moharan 6) The hidden Name Ehyeh — "I will be" Source: Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, the tale of the Lost Princess (Sippurei Maasiyos), taught by Rabbi Chaim Kramer. #Breslov #RebbeNachman #ChaimKramer #Teshuvah #Hisbodedus #Emunah #LostPrincess #SippureiMaasiyos #LikuteyMoharan #RebNoson #Hashem #JewishWisdom #Torah #Spirituality #Chassidus #Faith #Prayer #JewishPodcast #Uman #BelieveInYourself

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. —

Eilech V'anaseh — *Let me go and try.* A new weekly Torah series on the Lost Princess of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, beginning at the Sephardic Center on Avenue P in Brooklyn. With R' Nachman Fried. This is Shiur 1 — the introduction to the story and the series. Rebbe Nachman said his Torah is *kodesh* and his stories are *kodesh kodashim*. The Lost Princess is the first and most relatable of the thirteen stories — the one that maps onto every life. What we cover: • **Why the Rebbe started telling stories** — five years before his passing, the Rebbe said: "I have told you Torah and I see it is not doing what it needs to do." Then he began the stories. *Stories don't put you to sleep — they wake you up.* • **A kabbalistic foundation** — *tzimtzum*, *ohr ein sof*, the ten Sefiros, *Kudsha Brich Hu* and *Shechinah*, the unification of back-to-back becoming *panim b'panim* — face to face. • **The three characters** — The King is HaKadosh Baruch Hu. The viceroy is the tzaddik and the part of *you* that takes responsibility. The bas melech is the neshama — the *chelek Eloka mima'al*, the part of you that came from above. • **The story begins** — six sons and one daughter, the king who loved her most, the moment of anger, and the words that flew. *V'nizraka mipiv dibbur* — and a word slipped from his mouth. The Lost Princess vanishes, and the viceroy stands up. • **"Try your best" / Eilech V'anaseh** — a personal story from my father, a*lav hashalom*, who insisted he be buried under the tree in Tveria. *Try your best.* The words that became the name of our learning group. • **Why *lo tov* and not *ra*** — the Rebbe doesn't say the *bad* should take you. He says *lo tov* — the *not-good*. Because there is no such thing as bad. There is only the absence of good. Even the place that looks beautiful — the ballroom, the music, the festivity — can be *lo tov* when there is no real good inside it. • **The "broiges"** — who got angry first, the king or the daughter? The Rebbe deliberately doesn't say. Because in every close relationship — with self, with others, with Hashem — *broiges* will come. That's part of being in relationship. • **The action plan** — the lost princess is the real you, separated from the performance you have built over decades. Start the work of meeting the inner child, the lowercase-t traumas, the buried feelings. Recognition is the first step home. —

torah 4 shiur 1 This shiur discusses the spiritual process of attaining "complete knowledge" (yediya sheleimah), which is the profound realization that every event in a person's life, whether perceived as good or bad, is ultimately for their benefit. Drawing on the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, the text explores how this level of consciousness serves as a "glimpse of the World to Come," a state where the divine names of mercy (Havayah) and judgment (Elokim) are recognized as a unified expression of God's love. The shiur identifies the core challenge of how an individual can elevate "holy sovereignty" (malchus) from its state of exile and rectify the spiritual damage caused by sin, which the Rebbe posits is literally engraved upon a person's bones. To address this, the text highlights the essential practice of verbal confession to a Torah scholar (viduy devarim lifnei talmid chacham), explaining that through the power of speech, one can dismantle the "bad combinations" of letters imprinted by sin and restore the world's physicality to its divine source. By using the biblical example of Yehuda's bones being settled through Moshe's intervention, the shiur illustrates how admitting one's shortcomings to a Tzaddik allows a person to bridge the gap between exile and redemption, transforming judgment into a visible manifestation of divine kindness.

We complete Rebbe Nachman's intriguing tale of the crippled son. This is a parable of how Moshiach will overcome and eradicate evil. But first, we all must learn to water the trees…

In this powerful episode, Rabbi Gartner reveals the revolutionary Torah teaching that business itself is Torah — not just learning about it, but actually conducting commerce with holiness and awareness. Drawing from the Baal Shem Tov and Rebbe Nachman, he shatters the false divide between spirituality and the marketplace. Key discussions include: The Baal Shem Tov's profound insight: if studying a business transaction in the Mishnah (Bava Metzia) is Torah, then real-world business done properly is even more so Torah The common mistake of separating “shul/Torah time” from “work time” — and why this disconnect is spiritually dangerous Rebbe Nachman's teaching in Likutey Moharan 280: why standing before judges in a Din Torah can actually be Torah's “vengeance” for forgetting the Torah hidden inside every deal The difference between an ordinary businessman and a holy businessman — keeping the inner mind attached to Hashem even while the outer mind handles negotiations, contracts, and profit Why daily Torah learning (especially Choshen Mishpat) is non-negotiable for anyone who wants to elevate business and reveal the sparks within it Practical preparation for Shavuos: how to receive the Torah that is already clothed inside your daily commerce, speech, and decisions The ultimate vision — entering the marketplace with emunah turns ordinary work into the building of the “Palace of Holy Wealth” Short, inspiring, and immediately applicable for every Jewish professional and entrepreneur.

If you've ever heard of Rebbe Nachman of Breslev, you've likely heard of hitbodedut, or secluded personal prayer. It sounds like a wonderful idea, but where does one begin? This lesson shows how you can have a private audience with the Almighty and pour your heart out to Him, anywhere, anytime.

Rabbi Gartner shares Rebbe Nachman and Reb Nosson's uplifting reframe on Mishpat — transforming self-judgment from something heavy and scary into a sweet, practical tool for dignity, honor, and holy wealth. Ideal for Sefiras HaOmer or daily hisbodedus. Key Talking Points: Why we count every day of Sefiras HaOmer: each day demands an audit, just like a serious business owner who tracks growth, leaks, and direction for clarity and success. The soul originates from the Kisei HaKavod and is clothed in honor and wealth — holy drives that, when aligned, motivate growth instead of destruction. The sweetness of Mishpat: shift from “I am terrible” to “I am too precious to live this way” and ask the clarifying question, “Does this pay?” Yosef HaTzaddik as the rectification of Mishpat — how he used inner accounting, the image of Yaakov, and the Choshen HaMishpat to stand firm in his greatest test. Practical daily wisdom: restore the big picture through hisbodedus, calculate spiritual profit and loss (Pirkei Avos-style), and see why anger, desire, or distraction never pays off. Motivate Mishpat with honor and wealth, not fear — the Arizal's secret: approach every mitzvah as receiving “great wealth” and turn avodah into joy. The deeper link: Yosef's Mishpat created the “wall of holy wealth” at Krias Yam Suf (6th day of Omer), completing the Exodus and drawing blessing for the world. Real Mishpat doesn't break you — it saves you. Ask, “Does this pay?” with sweetness and dignity to live aligned with your soul's true greatness.

THE LOST PRINCESS — SHIUR 10Do You Recognize Me? The Bas Melech on the Wrong ThroneIn this shiur we walk one of the most powerful moments in Rebbe Nachman's Lost Princess: the viceroy enters the castle, lies down in a corner — and the bas melech, now seated as queen beside the false king, peeks out, sees him, gets up from her throne, and walks over to ask Ha'atah Makir Oti — do you recognize me? This is the recognition moment, and the Rebbe builds it slowly, beat by beat, with teachings that go to the deepest places of inner work.TOPICS COVERED:• He Eats. He Lies in the Corner. He Forgets He Came for Her — How temptation doesn't always make us sin. Sometimes all it has to do is make us stop searching.• The Other King — Melech Zaken u'Chsil — Koheles' name for the yetzer hara as the old foolish king. Why the yetzer hara isn't just a voice — he is a kingdom with streets, foods, a chair shaped exactly for you.• The Bas Melech as Queen of Lo Tov — She isn't just lost. She has been enthroned. The fallen self has built a court around her absence and given her the second seat at the table — with full ceremony, with music, with a crown.• Hetzitza Ha-Malkah — She Peeks Out — Even on the wrong throne, the bas melech inside is peeking. The voice that says maybe. The peek-see-recognize staircase of self-recognition.• Va'amda Mikisei — She Gets Up From the Throne — The unthinkable thing she does. Letting go of the comfort in the discomfort. The throne we have built inside lo tov, and the leap of standing up from it.• Why He Didn't Recognize Her — The viceroy had already seen her on the throne. So why does she still have to ask? Because she had become so lo tov, she no longer looked like the bas melech.• My Father the King — Why she says "father" first and "king" second. The pain is the father. The power is the king.• Blame as the Comfortable Throne — The most refined kind of ego — the ego of being wronged. Why blame, when factually correct, is the most comfortable throne we ever sit on. And why the avodah is not to drop the blame, but to loosen it.• V'nizrak — Already Softening — The moment the bas melech, even from her throne in lo tov, uses a word that already begins to forgive. The seed of return.• Eich Ani Yachol L'Hotzi Otach? — How can I take you out? — The viceroy's question that opens the next chapter of the search.

LIKUTEY MOHARAN TINYANA 7:10 — EATING L'SHEM SHAMAYIM — RABBI RIETTIIn this shiur on Likutey Moharan Tinyana, Torah 7, Seif 10, Rabbi Rietti unpacks Rebbe Nachman's striking teaching that the main ratzon for Hashem and yiras shamayim is davka b'sha'as achilah — specifically at the time of eating.TOPICS COVERED:• Teshuva and the Power of Change — A correction of the Rambam citation: ein lecha davar she'omeid bifnei ha-teshuvah. Teshuva sits outside nature, can rewrite the past, and when done me-ahavah turns aveiros into zechuyos. The word lecha makes the possibility deeply personal — available to every person.• Avraham Avinu and Food as Kiruv — How Avraham brought the world under one Hashem through meals, wells, and hospitality. Sefer HaMiddos and Midrash Rabbah (via Rav Atia) on how Birkas Hamazon makes Hashem known in the world. Avraham's chiddush: if the guest refused to thank Hashem, Avraham charged for the meal — forcing the guest to think about the true Source of all chessed.• Birkas Hamazon, Receptivity, and Gratitude — Why benching is positioned after eating: satiation creates calm and openness. Rav Avigdor Miller on why Birkas Hamazon includes Bris, Torah, and Eretz Yisrael — gratitude at satiation is the proper moment for the most important "business" of all: thanking Hashem. Every benching brings Hashem into the world as a real metzius.• Thought, Speech, and Reality — Rebbe Nachman's principle that nothing a person does, says, thinks, or even moves is ever lost. Rav Nosson in Hilchos Shechita on how the act and bracha of shechita elevate the animal. Why the spiritual configuration of food and water itself is shaped by the person's thought and speech — and why eating is a lifelong avodah.• Eating, Children, and the First Mitzvah — Sefer HaMiddos: l'fi achilosav shel adam kein banav u-vnosav. The first command in the Torah — mikol etz ha-gan achol tochel — is the mitzvah to eat from Hashem's world. The prohibition on the Etz HaDaas comes only afterward — a warning that the wrong use of eating changes everything.• The Effect of Aveiros and the Future Geulah — How Adam's sin altered creation itself, including the taste of fruits and the productivity of the land. Tehillim and the Radak on how the land in the Geulah will give its produce fully because aveiros will cease. Pure produce in the future as a sign of a repaired world.• Yitzchak Avinu and the Blessing Through Food — Why Yitzchak sought tasty food before blessing Eisav: he wanted to bless from a state of joy and satisfaction. V'nivrechu vecha kol mishpechos ha-adamah — one tzaddik as conduit for all blessing in the world. Yitzchak's derech as the blessing that comes through the ecstasy of eating.• Berachos: Baruch and Atah — Baruch as "thank you," Atah as direct intimacy with Hashem — not distant formality. Melech ha'olam as ruler over both the revealed and the hidden worlds. She-hakol nih'yeh bidvaro — everything comes into existence through His word. The bracha is for the person, not for Hashem.• Malchus, Gevurah, and Eating L'shem Shamayim — Why the highest malchus is self-control, especially over eating — the first and most constant taavah a person faces. The danger of kochi v'otzem yadi. Hashem hiskin mezonosav before creating Adam — meaning everything is already prepared. True malchus is giving sovereignty to Hashem while ruling oneself enough to eat l'shem shamayim.• Shulchan as Mizbei'ach — Likutey Moharan: shulchano shel adam mechapeir k'mizbei'ach. The table atones and can remove kesilus ha-seichel. When a person eats with gratitude and asks Hashem for daas, he can fix foolishness itself and grow in wisdom. B'chol derachecha da'eihu — Hashem can be served in eating, drinking, walking, talking, every moment.• Practical Kavanah During Meals — Rabbi Arush: the ikar birur ha-achilah is to think about Hashem during the meal and how good He is. The Shulchan Aruch's halacha not to be angry during a meal — anger enters the food and then the body. Thoughts, words, music, and Torah at the meal all leave their imprint on the food. Mayim acharonim chova as a practical minimum.• Megillas Esther — Putting the King First — Esther's words: im matzasi chen b'einei ha-melech. Rav Atia: Hamelech is Hashem. Esther invites the king and Haman together — meaning even when the yetzer hara is present at every meal, the king must be placed first. Doing this consistently is how a person eventually removes the sitra achra from the taavah and does only the King's ratzon.• Serving Hashem in All Actions — Shulchan Aruch (Reish Lamed Alef): all of a person's intent should be l'shem shamayim — eating, drinking, marital life, every action. Weighing each action against whether it brings one to avodas Hashem. The fulfillment of b'chol derachecha da'eihu in the most ordinary daily activities.• A Closing Story — A listener shares how, before becoming frum, she invited a woman to her Shabbos table and handed her a siddur to say Birkas Hamazon. The woman was deeply moved, borrowed the siddur, later returned it — and eventually became the speaker's wife and the mother of his children. A living illustration of how a single bracha at a single meal can change a life.

In this shiur on Likutey Moharan Torah 4, Reb Joey unpacks Rebbe Nachman's teaching that knowing everything is for your ultimate good is itself a taste of Olam Haba.TOPICS COVERED:• Learning Torah from a Tzaddik — Why receiving Torah from a true Tzaddik is more than information transfer. The Shekhinah speaks through the Tzaddikim, and the reader receives the tikunim the Tzaddik had in mind when teaching.• Segulas HaTorah vs. Ha'aras HaTorah — Rav Pomeranchik's chiddush: the illumination of Torah that requires full understanding vs. the healing segulah of Torah that works even without it (the Zidichover and Komarno's approach).• The opening pasuk — Anochi Hashem Elokecha — How the Torah is rooted in the verse "I am Hashem your God who took you out of Mitzrayim," with its dual revelation of the names Havaya and Elokim.• Me'ein Olam Haba — the central teaching — When a person knows that everything happening in their life is l'tovaso, that consciousness is itself a taste of Olam Haba.• Two perspectives on Olam Haba — The chitzonius understanding (a future world preempted in the mind) vs. the pnimius understanding (Olam Haba is ever-present, lemalah mizman, accessible now).• L'tovaso, not Gam Zu L'Tovah — Why Rebbe Nachman emphasizes "for my good" specifically — more personal and more demanding than the familiar "this too is for the good."• The Slabodka teaching — Drawn from the Alter of Slabodka via Rav Avraham Eliya Kaplan: every person has a chelek in Olam Haba available now, and one can enter Gan Eden in this lifetime.• The double gift of the taste — The calm of the moment plus the indelible memory of having tasted it — ammunition for the next moment of concealment.• Two names of Hashem — Havaya and Elokim — Havaya is rachamim, the ever-present compassionate presence. Elokim is din, teva, the world appearing to run on its own. Both must be praised: ba-Hashem ahalel davar, b'Elokim ahalel davar.• Why concealment exists — The Izhbitzer's chiddush that the natural order working is itself the biggest chillul Hashem. But the concealment is intentional — it's what makes bechira possible.

Important of the Advice of Tzaddikim specifically Rebbe Nachman ben Faiga Simcha To Clap During Tefilah aka Prayer

In this profound Pesach teaching, Rabbi Baruch Gartner reveals that true freedom isn't just escaping bondage — it's elevating the very things that once enslaved us. Drawing from the Torah, Song of Songs, and Rebbe Nachman's teachings, he shows how the Exodus wealth, the splitting of the sea, and the mitzvah of Tzedakah form the secret mechanism of redemption — both then and now. Key Talking Points: Why the Jewish people left Egypt “with great wealth” — not as a side detail, but as the essential completion of redemption How the gold and silver of Egypt (and the even greater booty at the Red Sea) represent supernal lights that must be extracted from Pharaoh's domain of illusion and restored to holiness The striking contrast: while the nation gathered physical riches, Moshe Rabbeinu took the bones of Yosef — and why the “wise-hearted” one goes straight to the root Rebbe Nachman's teaching: Egypt = the inner power of confusion (koach ha-madame) that turns money into soul-draining avodah zarah Yosef HaTzadik as the living channel of Tzedakah — the one through whom all redemption and abundance flow The spiritual secret: only through generous Tzedakah to worthy recipients can wealth be rectified, its hidden divine lights revealed, and a person truly leave Egypt Practical application for every generation: how to conduct business with the intention of revealing Hashem's greatness — and why withholding Tzedakah re-enslaves the soul Pesach as the annual opportunity to transform our entire relationship with money — from confusion and pursuit to clarity, joy, and Kedusha Perfect for anyone seeking a deeper, more soul-elevating understanding of Pesach and the true meaning of freedom.  

**Podcast Episode Title:**   The Secret of Holy Wealth: Matzah, the Bread of Poverty   **Podcast Description:**   In this episode of our Holy Wealth series, Reb Nosson takes Rebbe Nachman's teaching from Purim straight into Pesach — revealing that the true secret of wealth is hidden in poverty, humility, and the “bread of affliction.” Discover why matzah (not chametz) is the key to redeeming money, joy, and redemption itself — without becoming arrogant or enslaved by success. Perfect for anyone preparing for Pesach or seeking soul-rich abundance.   **Talking Points:**   - How one idea about Purim opens the entire world of Pesach and holy wealth   - The real reason Israel descended into Egypt: to extract and redeem the sparks of wealth from impurity   - The tiny difference between chametz (anger, ego) and matzah (holy abundance and humility)   - Why matzah is called “lechem oni” — the bread of poverty — and how inner poverty is the secret to true wealth   - The beautiful person who stays “poor in his own eyes” even when rich — and why this brings real joy and generosity   - The Haggadah's hidden structure: starting with “Ha Lachma Anya” then opening the door to others   - The Seder night paradox — poverty and royalty together — and how it reveals the path to holy wealth   - Your own personal Exodus in every generation: leaving your private Egypt through gratitude and rejoicing in your portion   - The future promise: Mashiach's humble wealth and the final Palace of Holy Wealth in the Beis HaMikdash   Short, sweet, and transformative — hit play before Pesach!

This episode invites listeners to breathe, soften, and remember that we are not walking the bridge alone. Be in touch at josh@unpacked.media.

Rebbe Nachman's classic parable seems absurd, but it's actually a cogent reflection of the emoji and smartphone generation. The second half of this lesson elaborates on Likutei Moharan I:119, which helps us understand the concepts of foolishness and spiritual unawareness we see in the Turkey Prince.

Rabbi Nachman teaches the “Pasture Pastoral,” a concise exploration of Likutey Moharan (Torah 63, with links to Torah 11) revealing the secret of Perek Shira: every level of creation and every pasture has its own niggun (melody) that sings to Hashem. Using shepherd imagery, flute music, and the Land of Israel, he shows how these melodies uplift the soul and unite human prayer with the natural world. Clear and practical, the lesson explains why music and place matter in prayer, how food and fields carry sparks of holiness, and how each person is a shepherd responsible for tending and correcting their part of creation.

So what if we made a mistake? Rebbe Nachman promises us that all we have to do is to declare a new beginning, and start all over with enhanced faith and enthusiasm. Even a turkey can make a new beginning…
