A Day In The Life Of A Breslover Part I

People often ask, “What is it like to be a Breslover Chassid or a student of Rebbe Nachman?” While Rebbe Nachman strongly encouraged us to follow his advice, even if only sometimes or somewhat, Rabbi Yitzchok Breiter z”l did suggest a daily routine that we can all find to be very helpful.

Pesach & Extra Stringencies

It happened that the Rebbe and Reb Noson were once invited to the sukkah of a simple Jew. When Reb Noson questioned the validity of the sukkah, Rebbe Nachman remarked, “A Jew works very hard to build his sukkah, and you seek to invalidate it based on stringencies found in the Codes?!” (Aveneha Barzel, p. … Continue Reading

SidePATH: The Power of the Midnight Prayer

Rebbe Nachman teaches: Chatzot [i.e., the practice of rising at midnight to lament the destruction of the Temple] has the power of redemption. It can sweeten harsh decrees (Likutey Moharan I, 149). At the time of Chatzot, great Lovingkindness descends from Heaven (Likutey Halakhot, Hashkamat HaBoker 1:14). Just as the Exodus from Egypt began at chatzot, so too, the Final Redemption will take … Continue Reading

SidePATH: Why Is There Depression?

Why is there depression, sadness and suffering? Our Sages teach: Whoever mourns Jerusalem will yet share in its rejoicing (Ta’anit 30b). Without experiencing sorrow and mourning, there is no way for us to appreciate its opposite. We have nothing with which to compare our happiness. Therefore, we must experience suffering.

June 27th, 2012, In Articles, Breslov Elders, Inspiration, by

Rebbe Nachman teaches: People say that there are two worlds, this world and the World to Come. We all believe that there is a World to Come. This world may also exist somewhere.

Does God Love Old People? This is not a “shocking headline” or a teaser or a hypothetical question. It’s a real challenge to emunah (faith) for an elderly person who is watching his body and/or his mind deteriorate. For the caretakers as well—in particular family members, who watch the decay unfold, the slow, sad, even … Continue Reading

December 8th, 2011, In Articles, Articles, Ask A Breslover, Breslov Elders, Uman, by

In the last few years the issue of re-locating Rebbe Nachman’s kever (grave) to Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel) has been bandied about a number of times. Usually, those who suggest the move are vociferous, well-meaning, but ignorant of Breslov tradition and, often, not even affiliated with Breslov in any way. Various reasons, many … Continue Reading
