Learn about the story of Pesasch and how it relates to faith and miracles in our lives.
We all have ideas about who we are and what we’re supposed to be doing with our lives. But most of us are prone to mistakes in our judgments and beliefs. In order to develop meaningful insights into ourselves and the nature of our existence, we need to overcome our illusions, strengthen the deeper holiness of our intellect and elevate the traits of our heart. Through this process, we merit to clarify and purify our medameh (our imagination), and acquire authentic, holy intellect.

It’s not difficult to argue that today’s materialism is out of control. We are barraged with increasingly sophisticated attempts to convince us that more is better and having the best is a necessity. There is a pervasive, even reflexive belief that we are defined by the ways in which we express and fulfill our materialistic desires. The near-Universal lust for money blocks our ability to grasp the reality of Divine Providence. This is our present-day idolatry.

What’s the secret to a joyous life? “Ah, prustak!” said the Rebbe. “Ah, simplicity!”
This seven-part class will focus on one of the most beloved of Rebbe Nachman’s 13 major stories, The Sophisticate and The Simpleton, the story of two friends. The sophisticate travels the world, acquiring tremendous amounts of philosophical and scientific knowledge. The simpleton stays home and becomes a mediocre shoemaker. In the end their paths meet and the surprising conclusion offers us insights into the meaning of success and happiness.

We recognize that there are deeper truths in common idioms She is broken-hearted. Their excuses stick in my throat. I felt it in my bones. We instinctively sense that the body has messages for us beyond the physical.
In part three of The Healing Dance of Body and Soul, we’ll continue to explore the reasons that God houses our soul in this brilliantly complex home we call “my body”, the paradoxical interplay between body and soul, and a fresh yet ancient outlook on health and healing.
As the attacks of the opposition are battling with full force, you will need an equivalent force to combat them. This is the Tzaddik – the True Tzaddik – the Complete Tzaddik.
Why do we need the Tzaddik in our lives? How does connecting to the Tzaddik bring us joy? Why do his teachings help elevate our souls?
In this seven-part course, we’ll discuss the spiritual and practical meaning of the Tzaddik, using Advice (Likutey Eitzot) as our guide. Join us and learn about a powerful key concept in Breslov Chasidut, one that is vitally important to the Jewish nation as well as to each individual.
For some, the idea of the Tzaddik can be challenging to understand. But the concept of the Tzaddik, a righteous individual and the shepherd of the Jewish people, is one that is rooted in Torah Judaism, perhaps most recognizably in the beloved figure of Moses, our humble but great leader and teacher.
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov understood and emphasized the importance of connecting to the Tzaddikim of the generation, the special individuals who are able to elevate each prayer to its proper place.

In this moving lesson (Likutey Moharan 15) Rebbe Nachman reveals the true nature and experience of Yirat Hashem, Fear of G-d, which is the essence of Divine Service. The path to this ‘ultimate goal’ requires faith and trust, prayer, hitbodedut (intense meditative prayer) study, and connecting to Hashem via the mitzvot.
Genuine Yirah (fear) is living with the consciousness that only Hashem controls and directs the events of our lives and the events of the world. This authentic Yirah liberates us from baseless fears and false worries which tend to dominate our inner being—if we let them. Accordingly, true Yirat Hashem liberates us from the bonds of the unreal and allows us to reach our true spiritual potential.

Is there a holistic healing modality that is rooted in Jewish mysticism that is still relevant today?
In The Healing Dance of Body and Soul we’ll come to a richer understanding of why God houses our soul in this brilliantly complex home we call “my body”, the paradoxical interplay between body and soul, and a fresh yet ancient outlook on health and healing.
