Dvar Torah for Parshat Tetzaveh Based on Rabbi Nachman’s Wisdom #23 “Make sacred clothing for Aharon your brother, for honor and eminence” (Exodus 28:2).

Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother

“in order that thy days should be long” (Exodus 20:12). Besides Mom and Dad, the “father” and “mother” being referred to here are chokhmah/wisdom and binah/understanding. Chokhmah and binah parent all that we do. They beget our actions, our words and even our thoughts. (If you think what you think about, you might think differently!) Who … Continue Reading

Tu b’Shevat (15th Shevat)

The teaching of the Bnei Yissaskhar to pray for a beautiful etrog (citron) on Tu b’Shevat is fairly well-known (Bnei Yissaskhar, Shevat 2:2). I’m fairly confident that the link to the prayer the Ben Ish Chai composed for having a beautiful etrog is making the rounds of the ‘Net, even as we speak. I would like … Continue Reading

This is a very long and difficult question, however I will try to give you some insight from a joy/sorrow perspective: What? Rebbe Nachman teaches: The Psalms (Tehilim) – the Ten Types of Song – have the power to nullify the kelipah (the impurity) of the Other Side.

Shortly before Rosh Hashanah 5569 (late summer 1808), one of Rebbe Nachman’s followers, the shochet (ritual-slaughterer) of Teplik village, brought the Rebbe an exquisitely hand-crafted chair.

Based on Chayei Moharan (Tzaddik) #349 “…[Yaakov] took stones from the place and placed them at his head and lay down…” (Genesis 28:11). Rashi comments: He arranged them around his head, like a bunker, because he was afraid of wild animals. The stones started to argue with one another, each one saying, “The tzaddik should … Continue Reading
