#Breslov #LikuteyMoharan #UmanRoshHashanaIn 1958 a twelve-year-old boy asked his mother if he could daven Rosh Hashana with the Breslover chassidim on the Lower East Side. She said no.So he went to the Mir, and he closed his eyes, and he imagined himself standing with them. And then he asked Hashem for one thing: that next year he should be by the Rebbe's tziyun.This was Cold War Russia. There was no getting into the country, let alone to Uman. Nobody was talking about Uman at all. He got there in 1969.That boy was the maggid shiur's father. The letter he wrote about it — to Moshe Yaakov Eisner a"h, an elter bochur already learning in Eretz Yisrael — turned up years later.Part 1 of Torah 4 at Breslov New Hempstead, given 16 Elul, exactly two weeks before Rosh Hashana."WHO SAYS?"The shiur opens on a question from the room, and the answer goes straight at the word itself. Who says Reb Nachman is true? Who says the Tikkun HaKlali works? Who says Reb Noson didn't write Likutey Moharan himself?The word "who says" is already kefirah. Because "who says" means: I do not want to believe, I want to understand.And the first platform of Yiddishkeit is not understanding. It is belief — and belief means I do not understand. Only from that platform does Hashem give the matanah we ask for three times a day: da'as. You start understanding from the platform of not understanding. Tachlis hayedia shelo neida.Which is the whole problem of this Torah, because Torah 4 opens k'she'adam yodea — when a person KNOWS that everything that happens to him is for his good. Knowing, not believing. The Rebbe never says the word emunah here. And yet the entire mechanism that gets you to that yedia runs through emunah and through vidui devarim to the tzaddik.THE TRAILEREverybody has had the moment: that was Hashem. That was clear Hashem.That moment is a sneak preview of a trailer of a tiny piece of the movie. Because for that one thing to happen to you at that hour, the whole briah had to be built a certain way. The dots go all the way back to brias ha'olam — and you will never see far enough back to watch them connect.ROSH HASHANA ON SHABBOSTwo weeks out — and really two weeks to the second day, which is when the ungezetzt actually starts. The first day everybody is still excited. The second day your head is already leaving, and you start asking: what did I do here? What did I get?A year when Rosh Hashana falls on Shabbos has no shofar and no tashlich the first day. October 7th was such a year. COVID was such a year. And so were good years.So what makes the difference? Not the answer you would expect — the answer given here is about what you bring, and why you came.MEN HOT ZICH GEFREGTAnd then the thing the maggid shiur heard from his shver in the name of Rav Gedalya Kenig zecher tzaddik livracha, about the years the tziyun was shut and there was not even a minyan there:מען האט זיך געפרעגט דער רבי רשות פאר מען האט פארמאכטThey asked the Rebbe's permission before they closed it.Sit with what kind of emunah says a sentence like that.Also inside: the kibbutz on 16th Avenue and 55th Street, fifty or sixty men, and a father telling his son the whole world is going to come — while the son, embarrassed, looked around the room and counted. Reb Shmuel Breines and the Breines boys before Ne'ilah, and Likutey Tefillos ayin-vav, and being told that if you say it you will stand at the tziyun next year. Reb Tzvi Aryeh Rosenfeld's Talmud Torah for boys who went to public school, and what came out of it. The Rebbe and Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai — mi ron, who will sing when they cannot come to me — and ani ron. And 216 years later, fifty thousand people, thirty hours of travel, to a town in the middle of nowhere.יא געדאווענט נישט געדאווענט, יא געשלאפן נישט געשלאפן, יא געגעסן נישט געגעסן — אבי זיי ביי מיר ראש השנה.He is not asking for your feelings. He is not asking for your da'as. He is asking for your presence.Part 2 goes inside seif ches.#Breslov #LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #RebNachmanOfBreslov #Uman #UmanRoshHashana #RoshHashana #Torah4 #AnochiHashem #Emuna #EmunaPeshuta #ViduyDevarim #Tzaddik #Chassidus #NewHempstead #Shiur #TorahShiur #TzviAryehRosenfeld #GedalyaKenig #Elul #JewishSpirituality

Why is there a Mitzva to Learn Torah? by Rav Mordechai Friedman This shiur tackles a fundamental philosophical question: if the Torah already obligates us to perform its 613 commandments, why is there a separate mitzva to learn Torah? You already need to know the laws to fulfill them — so why add a dedicated mitzva of Talmud Torah? Given before the Etzion Foundation dinner in New York, May 18th, 2026.

The Rebbe responds to updates about the growth of a Talmud Torah, emphasizing the importance of learning that leads to action and awe of Heaven. He advises on influencing students' social circles and suggests consulting local Anash regarding financial matters. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/017/008/6278

A Shabbaton in Bnei Brak. Two rabbis. A machlokes I have been wrestling with ever since.One rav told a room full of 18-year-olds that they were living the climax of their lives. Another rav pushed back. Both left a mark.In this solo episode, I share the audio version of my most-responded-to piece of writing to date — a post that starts the process of distilling over 120 episodes of Shtark Tank into one central question: what does it mean to serve Hashem during the working chapter of life?Subscribe to our newsletter at ⁠ShtarkTank.org⁠We cover the surprising lesson buried in the Matan Torah story, the unique mitzvos that come alive when you enter the workforce (Shabbos, Kiddush Hashem, Yishuv Olam, Talmud Torah), and why this stage of life isn't a regression from the Beit Midrash, it's its own chapter, loaded with opportunity.Plus: a beautiful piece of listener feedback from Ruben Melman, a recent Yeshiva graduate about to start his first job, and my own honest reflection on what it felt like to pack up the sefarim boxes.

Talmud Torah - Defining the Obligation (1) by Rabbi Avi Harari

Today we address three major topics:1. The first line of the Shema - What does it mean that God is "one"? What is the connection between "shema" and the "love" of God?2. The notion of "you shall teach your children" and the power of Talmud Torah as a major principle.3. Is there an ethic independent of Halakha? - "You shall do that which is just and good"
