#Breslov #LikuteyMoharan #ViduyDevarim Two words in Torah 4 make people flinch: vidui devarim — spoken confession, in front of a talmid chacham. It sounds like something we are not. This shiur is the long answer to why it isn't, and to what the Rebbe is actually asking a person to do. A full shiur on Likutey Moharan, Torah 4 — Anochi Hashem Elokecha — given at Breslov New Hempstead in the weeks before Rosh Hashana. The Rebbe opens by saying a person has to KNOW — not believe — that everything that happens to him is for his good, and that knowing it is a taste of Olam Haba. From there the shiur builds the whole mechanism: how Havayah and Elokim came apart at the briah, how every davar in the world is holding a tziruf of osios haTorah, what an aveira actually breaks, why the letters land on a person's bones, and how vidui devarim in front of a tzaddik who has made himself ayin draws those letters back out and rebuilds malchus dikedusha. Along the way: — ROSH HASHANA 5762. Six weeks after burying his father, no flights out of America, driving to Canada and being turned back at the border — and the LOT counter at the airport that opened the whole thing up. What Reb Luzer zichrono livracha said at the window in Uman when he finally got there. — IS VIDUI THE OPPOSITE OF TORAH 282? If Reb Nachman tells us to find the nekuda tova, how does he also tell us to stand and name what we did wrong? Two Toros, two different avodos — and why we do not mix them. — THE VIDUI NOBODY SAYS OUT LOUD. "I come here every year and promise I will never do it again, and I come back with worse. So who am I fooling? Am I using the Rebbe as a pass?" Said in the room, not smoothed over. — YOU ARE IN SURGERY. The first hirhur teshuva a person ever had — the one he squashed and forgot — and why the whole operation started there. — "HE TALKS TO YOU." How a tzaddik who is not here gives a person a derech. Ends with shailos from the chevra, l'chaim, and Umen Umen Rosh Hashana.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: What should be our focus during these days? Why do we begin blessing each other with wishes for a good year on the 15th of Av? Why is it written that there were no holidays like the 15th of Av in the past tense? What is the relevance of this day? What is the significance of this day coming 40 days before Rosh Hashana? Why did the Rebbe's father have to endure such excessive suffering? Can it be explained by the idea that, to grow to an unprecedented higher level, one needs to nullify previous levels entirely? What was unique about Rabbi Levi Yitzchak's teaching style? How would you describe what it adds to Chabad Chassidus in general? Are his writings Chassidishe Chassidus or Rebbe'she Chassidus? Can you give us an example of some of his teachings? How can we honor the Rebbe's father? Who is in charge of publishing Rabbi Levi Yitzchak's teachings? What is the connection of Reb Levi Yitzchak to the month of Av? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? What is the meaning of the blessings and curses in the Torah? What is the proper way to bless someone? Is there a source that on a birthday one has a special power to bless others? How do we create a vessel for blessings? What can we do to remove blockages from receiving blessings? How do we transform a curse into a blessing? If curses are really hidden blessings, why do we need revealed blessings? Why does the Midrash connect the blessings and curses to the physical topography of the mountains associated with them? What can we learn from the Torah's way of recognizing a true and false prophet to help us identify charlatans and scammers today? Chof Av Re'eh 

The Seven Weeks of Comfort, Countdown To Rosh Hashanah Part 2:  The Meaning Of The Shofar  -  English only.  The sound of the shofar should awaken memories in our soul.  Join us as we discuss the traditional understanding of that important sound! This is a previously unpublished recording of a Rosh Hashana sermon from Sept 10, 1999.  This year, 2026, we will celebrate Rosh Hashanah on September 12, 2026.  

The Torah says the Eyes of Hashem are always upon Eretz Yisrael, from beginning to end. Chazal say the Pasuk teaches concepts in Rosh Hashana setting the tone for the year. Something to think about as we start to turn to Hashem for a sweet new year for EY and beyond.

This teaching series is based on the tradition of “Shabbat Shuva,” or the “Shabbat of Return,” which falls between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur (the Day of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement). The text for this tradition is Hoshea (Hosea) chapter 14, which begins, “O Yisra'el, return to Yahweh your Elohim…” After having gone through the Spring Feasts – Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Shavuot, which are types and shadows of the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt and journey to Mt. Sinai, have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh? • What is meant by “crookedness”? What does crookedness cause you to do? • Regarding the call to return – return to what? From there, Rabbi Berkson takes us into Leviticus 26 to examine the reasons for returning to the Covenant. In Leviticus chapter 26, the blessings and curses associated with Yahweh's Covenant with His people are listed. • How will you be able to walk in Covenant with the Creator? From Leviticus, we go to Deuteronomy 4:25, where we see that Yahweh has an issue with His people and their idol worship. How can we relate to them today regarding ‘idol worship'? Rabbi Berkson then takes us to Deuteronomy chapter 30 to show us one of Moses' final exhortations to the people as they are about to cross over into the Promised Land. Interestingly, Yahweh, through Moses, told the people that in their future they would stray from the path they were supposed to walk and be taken from the Land by their enemies, but as they were living in a foreign land, their hearts would turn back to Yahweh, and they would return once again to possess and live in their Promised Land. • In this chapter, we see the phrase, “circumcise your heart” – what does that mean? Isn’t that just a “New Testament” concept? What is it doing left of Matthew? And then we are taken to Romans chapter 10, where Rabbi Berkson points out that the apostle Paul is clearly writing about Torah observance and, indeed, substitutes the word ‘Messiah' for the word ‘Torah' as he quotes Moses in Deuteronomy chapter 30. • What does Romans 10:4 really mean? • What is “the righteousness of belief”? • What is “the good news of the good”? • Was there “Good News” before the New Testament? Verse-by-verse and step-by-step, Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on a journey of discovery and learning how to covenant with our Creator and Father, which, from time to time, requires us to turn around and return to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom.

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. —

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: 16 Iyar Why don't we recite the Parsha about Manna every day, as well as the Ten Commandments, like we do the Parsha of the Akeidah, as stated in Shulchan Aruch?  What is the significance of this special day? How could the students of Rabbi Akiva not respect each other to the point of it causing a plague? Why don't we see such harsh consequences (G-d forbid) due to other acts of disrespect in our times? How did the Mitteler Rebbe celebrate Lag B'Omer? Why was it a day of miracles? How can Lag B'Omer open up channels of connection between parents and children? What is the source that this day is the hilula of Rashbi? Why is the day of Rashbi's passing a time of joy and celebration? What is the connection with Hod of Hod? Why is Rashbi referred to as Shabbos? What were some of the big secrets Rashbi revealed right before his passing? How could Rashbi have passed away while he was teaching Torah? What is the connection between Lag B'Omer and the gal (mound) that Jacob built to serve as a witness of the boundary between him and Laban? How is that consistent with the verse gal einei, which is a state of open revelation, the opposite of Jacob's gal that separates and conceals? How does Chassidus explain the difference between Choni HaMaagel and Rashbi causing it to rain? Why did Rashbi hide from the Romans, while the Alter Rebbe allowed himself to be arrested? How could Rashbi have caused fire to consume and destroy? Is Lag B'Omer or Yud Tes Kislev the Rosh Hashana of the Inner Torah? What did the Rebbe mean when he said that Rashbi is at the Ohel? Should I write a pan to the Rebbe or to Rashbi, or both?Chassidus Applied to Lag B'Omer 

B"H Rosh Hashana is right now. Not the one in Tishrei, the one in Nissan. According to the Torah, Nissan is the first of the months. Tishrei is about refining yourself. Your character, your relationships, teshuva. But Nissan is about something deeper. Identity. Who are you? You are Am Yisrael. Part of a people with a mission, a Torah, a connection to Eretz Yisrael, and a story that began with Yetziat Mitzrayim. And only when you know who you are can you truly work on who you want to become. Find yourself first, and then you have a self to refine.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: What is unique about the month of Kislev, and what lessons does it offer us? Yud Tes Kislev Why is this day the Rosh Hashana of Chassidus? Why was Chassidus revealed in the later generations? What is the difference between “before Petersburg” and “after Petersburg”? What do we learn from this day? Why was there a heavenly accusation against the Alter Rebbe for teaching Chassidus? Should we be afraid to say a dvar torah at the Shabbos table lest the heavenly court indict us? How do we explain the Alter Rebbe's analogy of Chassidus being like the most precious crown jewel being crushed to help save the life of the royal prince? How do you compare the Alter Rebbe's spreading of Chassidus to other Kabbalists who taught Penimiyus HaTorah? Why did they not face resistance? Is Chassidus based on the Zohar and Kabbalah or is something entirely different? Is learning the Tanya compared to having a personal yechidus with the Alter Rebbe? What “second half” is necessary to understand Tanya? Can you appreciate Tanya without song? How did the Alter Rebbe deliver his teachings to us? What is a farbrengen and where did it originate from? What's the difference between a maamar and a sicha? What was the main teaching of the Maggid of Mezritch? What is a black Marie chariot and why was it sent for the alter rebbe? How did the Alter Rebbe win his court case; what evidence did he produce to exonerate himself? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? What is the inside story of the tribes' jealousy of Joseph, and of Joseph's fall and rise? What was the significance of Joseph's dreams that he will rule over his brothers? How could the righteous tribes sell their brother into slavery? Vayeishev 

Today Tim and Mary take a look at the phenomenon of political talk via radio, podcast, or The Tube. How did we get to the point where the saturation of political talk takes us down a violent road? Rush, Paul Harvey - political talk pioneers of the 20th century - what would they think of all this chaos? Then we look at Day 718 of the war in Israel. Another anniversary of October 7th looms and while God has kept Israel, and multiple terrorists are in eternity, so many issues remain. Palestinian statehood is forever on the table, but only for her enemies, Satan's useful tools. State of confusion is more like it. We also talk about Albania and a government bot, something new under the sun? Bot for President? How about Antichrist? How are we even talking about such a thing? A full hour of planetary insanity.
