Podcasts about rebbe nachman

Neither the biggest tzaddik, the most eloquent of speakers, nor the greatest poet can describe his perception of Hashem. It's so individual and so very lofty that it remains in the mind's eye…

Shiur #10 in Rabbi Jonathan Rietti's in-depth (b'iyun) series on Likutey Moharan — Torah Dalet (4).When a person knows that everything that happens to him is for his good — כשאדם יודע שכל מאורעיו הם לטובתו — this itself is a taste of Olam Haba. But if everything is truly l'tovah, that has to include every mistake, every regret, every painful memory. So what does Hashem want us to do with our past?In this shiur, Rabbi Rietti takes us through Rebbe Nachman's revolutionary understanding of the mind: all suffering and exile exist only to the degree that da'as is missing (Torah 21), Hashem makes room for us inside the suffering itself — בצר הרחבת לי (Torah 195), and atzvus — anxiety, worry, depression — is not caused by our circumstances but by our own thinking about them (Torah 155). Because ein shum ye'ush ba'olam klal — there is no despair in the world at all.Topics covered:• "BaHashem ahalel davar" — praising Hashem from the same place of simcha, in good times and bad• Kaveh means EXPECT, not hope — waiting for Mashiach like you wait for a bus you know is coming• ביום ההוא יהיה ה' אחד ושמו אחד — why in the future there will be only one bracha: HaTov v'HaMeitiv• "If I would know Him, I would be Him" — da'as as the bridge between this world and eternal life• Life and death separated by only one amah — the equanimity of true tzaddikim• The world as a movie set: everyone is reading Hashem's script, only you choose your response• Anxiety over tuition, bills and parnassah — where the stress really comes from and how to surrender it• Mai d'hava hava — the past is the past; why Torah beats therapy on handling worry• דאגה בלב איש ישחנה — and the end of the pasuk most therapists have never read: ודבר טוב ישמחנה• Kol d'avid Rachmana l'tav avid — training yourself on every bump in the roadSources: Likutey Moharan I: Torah 4, Torah 21:11, Torah 78, Torah 155, Torah 195; Tehillim 4:2 & 116; Zechariah 14:9; Yeshayahu 5:13 & 11:9; Nedarim 41; Pesachim 50a; Sotah — mai d'hava hava; Mishlei 12:25; Shulchan Aruch OC 230:5; Kuzari; Pele Yoetz; Me'am Lo'ezNext shiur: Vidui Devarim — the true Torah sources of verbal confession in Yiddishkeit.#RebbeNachman #LikuteyMoharan #Breslov #JonathanRietti #Emunah #Anxiety #Torah #Chizuk #BRI

A shiur delivered by R' Mordche Gottlieb in Miami Beach, FL, as we enter Rosh Chodesh Av and the Nine Days.Why did the Eibershter create galus at all? Wouldn't a world of pure geulah have been a better plan? Rebbe Nachman of Breslov gives an original answer: the purpose of galus is not just to escape it — the galus itself becomes part of your geulah.R' Gottlieb explains: the world is filled with countless powers, energies, and wisdoms that seem to run by themselves — money, success, strength, intelligence, and today even AI. A person can live an entire life enjoying these powers while completely disconnected from their Source. But that's exactly the point: when a person looks at a world that could be seen as disconnected and declares Hashem Echad — he gives the Eibershter true malchus, because אין מלך בלא עם, and there's no real kingship without free choice.Topics covered:• What we're really saying in Shema Yisrael — recognizing Achdus HaBorei in a fragmented world• Why Hashem created bechirah — a robot's recognition means nothing• אל יתהלל חכם בחכמתו — the chacham, gibbor and oshir: don't erase your strengths, reconnect them• Kaas is fire, gaava is greatness — how middos ra'os become fuel for avodas Hashem• True anava: not being a nebech, but knowing where your strength comes from• What nechama really means — and what we'll understand looking back at our hardships when Mashiach comes (הזורעים בדמעה ברינה יקצורו)• How to use the Nine Days: don't run from the pain — recognize the galus and demand a geulah• Divrei chizuk on Eretz Yisrael today: the open nissim of the war, the pain of machlokes among Yidden, and why davening for Klal Yisrael's geulah brings your ownR' Gottlieb also introduces Letayel B'Toraso (לטייל בתורתו) — a worldwide project where thousands of Yidden, from all communities, learn the same Torah in Likutey Moharan together, b'iyun, over months. Learning Rebbe Nachman's Torah the way Rebbe Nachman himself instructed makes this "deep sefer" accessible to everyone.

The opening shiur of The Lost Princess in Deal, NJ — a heart-share journey through Rebbe Nachman's tale of Aveidas Bas Melech, learned not as a fairy tale but as a map back to ourselves. It begins with the story that changed my life: losing my closest friend, Chaim z"l, and discovering — in his own words, three weeks before he passed — that the one thing that gave him comfort through his hardest years was the Likutei Moharan. That loss is what made me truly own Rebbe Nachman. From there we walk the whole tale — the king and his lost daughter, the viceroy who says "let me go and try," the path off to the side, the castle of lo tov where the princess is hidden — and we bring it home to where we actually live. Because the lost princess is your own self — your neshama, the part of you that knows what you really want. And the way to find her is closer than you think: a few quiet minutes of hisbodedus, asking one honest question — what am I feeling right now? Not "calm," not "serene" — those are states. The real feelings live underneath: fear, failure, rejection. And under the fear, ask "what am I afraid of?" — and dig, and dig again, until you get a peek at her. And then comes the yearning. Because you can only yearn for something you once had. If you have ever, even once, felt that krechtz for Hashem — that ache to be close, that delight of connection — that was her. That feeling of connection to Hashem is your lost princess. Yearn for it. Long for it. Want it. May we be zoche to a geulah pratit and a geulah klalit, and bring Moshiach.

Part 12 of The Lost Princess — a heart-share journey through Rebbe Nachman's tale of Aveidas Bas Melech, learned not as a fairy tale but as a mirror of our own search to come home to ourselves. There's a voice that meets us after we fall. For most of us it's the voice of blame — and it buries us. This shiur is about a different voice. The viceroy returns after his first failure — he was so close, and on the very last day he ate, and lost everything. Now he stands before the Bas Melech again, and watch what she does. She doesn't rage. She doesn't shame him. But she also doesn't pretend it didn't happen. She tells him the plain truth — "had you come that day, you would have taken me out" — and in the very same breath she makes the next task easier, because she knows the yetzer hara is strongest on the last day. That is the whole secret: accountability, not blame. She holds him to what happened without ever crushing him for it. It turns out this is exactly how we have to learn to speak to ourselves after we fall — honest about the truth, but never cruel; facing what happened, but making the path walkable again, and refusing to let ourselves give up. Because the main thing was never that you fell. The main thing is that you don't fall asleep. And we come home to the week's avodah: five minutes a day of hisbodedus to meet your inner child — the part of you that doesn't need to be fixed or proven, only loved — and to start noticing, with honesty, how much we rationalize and justify to ourselves all day long. Eilech V'anaseh — "Let me go and try." A chabura founded by Gavriel Hass and facilitated by Nachman Fried, using the story of the Lost Princess as a workshop for honest self-reflection and inner growth.

Shiur 14 in R' Nachman Fried's heart-share on Rebbe Nachman's tale of the Lost Princess (Aveidas Bas Melech). This one turns on the avodah of the viceroy's year of yearning — and what it asks of us. It opens with viduy: not "confession" but admission — ashamnu, bagadnu — saying it plainly and starting brand new, because teshuvah is never about what will be; its whole power is right now. From there: the astonishing reach of a single hirhur teshuvah, one fleeting thought of return that you think did nothing, while far away it moves worlds; and how to meet failure not as proof to despair over but as the very place teshuvah begins — to fall and not collapse into yiush. At its heart is the Bas Melech's instruction to the viceroy: choose a place, sit for a year, and do nothing but yearn, long, and want her back. Because the end and the beginning are one — and the only real foolishness, the Rebbe teaches, is that we stop yearning, stop longing, stop wanting the very things our soul once wanted with its whole strength. Woven through with personal story and the tale itself, it closes on a single word: Ashreinu. In this shiur: Viduy as admission — and why teshuvah is only ever "now," a new hatchala The far-reaching power of one hirhur teshuvah Meeting failure without falling into yiush — not running from the fall The viceroy's year of yearning: choosing a place and longing to free her "The end and the beginning are together" The foolishness of letting the yearning die — and how to want again #LostPrincess #AveidasBasMelech #RebbeNachman #Breslov #Teshuvah #HirhurTeshuvah #Yearning #Yiush #Uman #JewishWisdom #Chassidus #NachmanFried

Part 15 of The Lost Princess — a heart-share journey through Rebbe Nachman's tale of Aveidas Bas Melech, learned not as a fairy tale but as a mirror of our own search to come home to ourselves. For Rebbe Nachman, the whole avodah is the ratzon — the yearning. Not what you manage to achieve, but what you allow yourself to long for. The wanting itself is precious. And the deepest tragedy isn't failing — it's giving up on your wants, letting the will go quiet until you no longer want what you once wanted. In this shiur we walk the tale word by word — the king and his lost daughter, the father's pain, the viceroy who rises and says "Eilech V'anaseh — let me go and try," the path off to the side, the castle of lo tov where the princess is hidden in plain sight. And then we bring it home: the lost princess is your own self, and the way back is not to conquer the forest but to never stop yearning for her. A few minutes a day of hisbodedus — "Who am I? What am I feeling right now? What is my lost princess trying to tell me?" — and to let yourself long for her again. To want what you once wanted, and refuse to give up on your wants. To bind yourself to the tzaddik, to Rebbe Nachman, to Tikkun Haklali — the one who lifts a person out of shmad, where the will is crushed and disguised, and into ratzon, true and living desire, clearing away the self-doubt that keeps us from wanting to come close.

hiur #7 in R' Jonathan Rietti's b'iyun series on Rebbe Nachman's Likutey Moharan, Torah 4 (Part 1) — recorded at Breslov, New Hempstead, in partnership with BRI (Breslov Research Institute) and Reb Chaim Kramer. Rebbe Nachman opens Torah 4 with a life-changing idea: keshe'adam yodea she'kol me'ora'osav hem l'tovaso — when a person truly knows that everything that happens to him, the sweet and the bitter alike, is for his benefit — that knowing is itself me'ein Olam Haba, a taste of the World to Come, the world of only good, the world where every question finally has its answer. From there R' Rietti opens up how we come to thank Hashem not only for the open chessed but with both of His Names — ba'Elokim ahallel davar, baHashem ahallel davar (Tehillim 56:11) — praising Him exactly the same in the times of rachamim and the times of din. In other words: I'll thank You for the tough times too. In this shiur: Keshe'adam yodea — why knowing (not only feeling) that it's all l'tovasi is a glimpse of Olam Haba This world of questions vs. the World to Come, the world of answers Ba'Elokim / baHashem ahallel davar — praising Hashem through both Names, in chessed and in din Hallel = simcha: why real praise flows from joy (Radak) "In the moment you can't always feel it" — Reb Nosson's honesty, and how to live the yediah anyway The mind and the body — "I have cancer, I am not cancer": stress, pain, and the power of the mind Moving into Vidui Devarim — the "bullet" used against Breslov for years, and why confession before the tzaddik is a mitzvas aseh d'Oraisa found all over the Torah (Rambam; the korban chatas/asham; Parashas Chukas and the snakes) Reshaim, Olam Haba, and the tzaddik who shares a chelek of his own — the candle that lights other candles without losing its flame With appreciation to Reb Shmuel & Motti Seitlin, Tzvi Nachman Fried, Tzvi Goldring, Reb Chaim Kramer, and BRI. #LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #JonathanRietti #Torah4 #Hodaah #Emunah #Bitachon #ThankYouHashem #OlamHaba #VidueiDevarim #ChaimKramer #BRI #Teshuvah

Shiur #8 in R' Jonathan Rietti's b'iyun series on Rebbe Nachman's Likutey Moharan, Torah 4 (Part 1) — Breslov, New Hempstead, with BRI and Reb Chaim Kramer. If yissurin are simply part of living in this world — the potholes and bumps no one escapes — then the real question was never how much we get, but how well we respond. This week R' Rietti opens the "Hilchos Yissurin," the laws of receiving suffering: how a person moves from an intellectual "it's for the good" to keshe'adam yodea — actually experiencing that everything, the sweet and the bitter alike, is only l'tovaso, with no gray and no wiggle room. In this shiur: "Hilchos Yissurin" — where the laws of accepting suffering actually live (in Shas, in the Rambam, and beyond Shulchan Aruch) Chayav adam levarech al hara k'shem she'mevarech al hatova — the Mishnah in Brachos (9:5) and blessing the bad like the good Ahavas Hashem b'chol levavcha — serving Him with both the yetzer tov and the yetzer hara The real hishtadlus is tefillah — asking Hashem that everything, good and hard, become a platform to find Him Todah la'Hashem for the good, and todah la'Hashem for the not-good — emunah as a daily exercise The Rambam's words: even in eis hamari, in ka'as and rogez — and why anger, gaava, sinah, kinah and taavah are the yetzer hara of the mind #LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #JonathanRietti #Torah4 #Yissurim #Emunah #Bitachon #ThankYouHashem #Suffering #ChaimKramer #BRI

Shiur #9 in R' Jonathan Rietti's b'iyun on Rebbe Nachman's Likutey Moharan, Torah 4 (Part 1) — Breslov, New Hempstead, with BRI and Reb Chaim Kramer. This single paragraph, R' Rietti says, is the ikar — it sets the tone for the entire Torah. Having laid out Hilchos Kabbalas Yissurin last week, he now reaches the heart of it: the daas Rebbe Nachman is defining — the knowing that everything that happens comes b'kavana from Hashem, only for your benefit, and that this whole world of gashmiyus is nothing but a kli to find Him inside. In this shiur: The ultimate daas — knowing Hashem is good, and only good, all the time Tachlis (תכלית): the kli hidden between the two tavs, and why this world is preparation for the next Im yistakel al hatachlis — how looking at the true purpose lets you reinterpret the "bad" as rak tovos gedolos, only great benefits Every red light, every sichsuch with a parent, a child, an in-law — b'kavana meHashem, l'tovaso The two reasons the hard things come — and what Hashem is really after Continuing ahavas Hashem and blessing al hara k'shem she'mevarech al hatova #LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #JonathanRietti #Torah4 #Daas #Emunah #Tachlis #OlamHaba #Bitachon #ChaimKramer #BRI

On the hilula (yahrzeit) of Rav Gedalya Aharon Kenig zt"l, R' Nachman Fried shares personal memories and the story of a life given entirely to Rebbe Nachman — recorded at Breslov, New Hempstead.R' Fried — whose father became a Breslover at the age of ten, drawn close by Reb Tzvi Rosenfeld, and who himself married into Rav Gedalya's family — traces the mesorah of Daas Rabbeinu down the generations, and tells the story of a dreamer whom nearly everyone thought was "off": the man who believed hageulah teluyah b'binyan Tzfas, that the redemption itself is bound up in the building of Tzfas — and who, with R' Fried's shver, was among the very first to move there and make it real.In this drasha:Growing up around Rav Gedalya — the stories a grandson remembersThe chain of Daas Rabbeinu: the Rebbe → Reb Nosson → Reb Nachman Tulchiner → Reb Avraham b'Reb Nachman → Reb Avraham Sternhartz (rebbe of both Rav Gedalya and Reb Tzvi Rosenfeld)"Hageulah teluyah b'binyan Tzfas" — Rav Gedalya's dream, and the first families to move to TzfasThe coins and the retzonos: "Gedalya, mit dem vestu boien Tzfas?" — how every single coin was the ratzon of another YidA life of mesiras nefesh — collecting, dreaming, and never once giving up#RavGedalyaKenig #Breslov #NachmanFried #Tzfas #RebbeNachman #Hilula #DaasRabbeinu #NachalNovea #Yahrzeit #Emunah #ChaimKrame

A special Torah & Advice in Tefilah from Rebbe Nachman ben Faiga Simcha to sweeten the Judgements Erev the 3 weeks 5786 2026.

Words spoken on 14 Tammuz, five years after the petirah of my dearest friend, Chaim ben Yitzchak z"l — taken in the Surfside collapse — built on a single pasuk: chaver ani l'chol asher yireucha u'l'shomrei pikudecha (Tehillim 119:63), from the very ches that begins his name.What is a real friend? Of all our relationships, a friend is the one we choose — not the family we're born into, but the soul we pick. And Dovid HaMelech reveals that the true depth of that bond was never in the gashmius — not the trips, not the good times — but in l'chol asher yireucha: the spiritual thread, the yiras Shamayim, that two friends share. Which is why a real connection doesn't end when a person leaves this world. It can grow even deeper. Chaim was my mentor, the older brother I never had — and he has changed my life more since he passed than in all the years he was here.This is also about who Chaim became: a man who made himself last, always; whose humility was forged in the hardest years of his life, caring for his wife; the tzaddik he quietly became. He told me that the one thing that brought him comfort in his darkest times was the Likutei Moharan, Rebbe Nachman's Torah — and that is the very thing we are continuing now.And one thing we cannot let ourselves pack away: the way he was taken was not ordinary. It was a message — to those who were close, and to all of Klal Yisrael. May we hear it, be m'orer one another, do teshuvah, and merit the geulah. May his neshamah have an aliyah, and may he be a meilitz yosher for his family — Shmueli, Yehuda, and Shana — and for all of Klal Yisrael.#RebbeNachman #Breslov #Friendship #Tehillim #Hesped #Chizuk #Emunah #Teshuvah #Uman #LikuteiMoharan

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

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. —

The Positive Light Shines in Tefilah

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.

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. —

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.
