Money-Lust
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov taught… There are “faces of holiness”—faces of light and vitality—and there are “dark faces” of the “other side,” of depression and idolatry which plague people who are steeped in the lust for money. The root of this lust is a lack of faith that G-d can provide a person with sustenance … Continue Reading

The Way to the Land
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov taught… Know that faith, miracles, prayer and the Land of Israel are all a single, organic whole. The Land of Israel is the place where faith, miracles and prayer reach their highest expression. (Likutey Moharan I:7) What does this mean to me? Just a few weeks ago, I heard the … Continue Reading
A Journey of Repair
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov taught… Medicines are compounded from plants, which grow from the earth, which is sustained by rain, which is sent by G-d’s mercy to a world that acknowledges Him and has faith in Him. When the ultimate catalyst, faith, is lacking, illnesses come to the world that medical experts cannot cure. But … Continue Reading
The Light of Shabbos
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov taught… “Charity only comes to its full illumination by virtue of the light of Shabbos. (Likutei Moharan I:17) What does this mean to me? This sounds so beautiful, but what, really, is the light of Shabbos? Rebbe Nachman explains that the light of Shabbos is that of faith in G-d’s … Continue Reading
Why Work?
The Menorah was made (Exodus 25:31). It shall be made on its own (Midrash Tanchuma, Beha’alotkha 3). Because Moses was uncertain how to create it, God said to him: Throw the brick of gold into the fire and it will form itself. Therefore it does not say “You must make” (Rashi on Exodus 25:31). Work, … Continue Reading
Religious Jews Commit Crimes? Couldn’t Be!
I first thought of writing this a few weeks ago when a jury in a major American city convicted an ultra-Orthodox Jew of committing a heinous and reprehensible crime. This is not an apologia. (I hate apologetics.) It is an attempt to remind ourselves that as surprising and distressing as our co-religionists’ failures might be … Continue Reading

Suicide? No, thanks.
Suicide? No, thanks. I prefer Torah. I can’t tell you any statistics about how many people do or don’t ever think about committing suicide, or plan or attempt it. And anyway, it would be beside the point. We know suicide is bad. First of all, the family, friends and even acquaintances of the suicide feel … Continue Reading
The Silent Scream
Well, apropos of life in general and The Three Weeks in particular, I want to share Rabbeinu zal’s teaching about the kol demamah dakah, the small, silent voice. (Yes, I know I translate it differently later.) This will be new to some and a review for others. It’s a good tool to have and a … Continue Reading
Breslov Kabbalah: The Shattering Of The Vessels
In Part Seven of Breslov Kabbalah, we explore the act of the shattering of the vessels containing Holy light and how this teaches us to “redesign” our thought processes in order to tackle what lies ahead. As the next stage in Creation, God formed Ten Sefirot to act as channels or filters to convey Hishates Light … Continue Reading
