A Day In The Life Of A Breslover Part IV

The Highest Path
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov taught… Hisbodedus-meditation— inner-directed, unstructured, active self-expression before G-d— is the highest path of all. Take it.

Holding On In Life – No Matter What

Anecdotes For Life
Here are some more anecdotes that might be of some help in life: 1. We are so weak, that we can only arouse Hashem’s “limited” compassion upon us. What to do? To simply ask Hashem’s limited compassion itself to arouse on our behalf His “unlimited and endless” compassion. This way there is always hope, no matter … Continue Reading
