R' David Reboh Torah 1 - Shiur 1 R' Reboh introduces a new worldwide Likutei Moharan chabura through L’tayen B’torato, emphasizing the kiddush Hashem and achdut of learning together and focusing discussions on Torah Alef, chen, chashivut, and limud Torah. He begins Torah Alef, explaining that through Torah all prayers and requests are accepted and Israel’s chen and importance rise, while currently true chen has fallen and seems to be valued among the nations. He teaches that Torah is “ayelet ahavim ve’ayalat chen,” giving grace to the learner, and that a Jew must seek the sechel and chochmah within every thing and situation to draw close to Hashem. Using stories about Yosef’s chen in prison, a hospital elevator incident, and Baal Shem Tov’s “got junk” episode, he illustrates divine messages in daily events, the concealment of Hashem, sefirot as modes of interaction, and how strong Torah learning provides the “code” to perceive these remazim. 00:00 Launching the Chabura 01:41 Rabba Bar Hana Secrets 03:04 How Rebbe Nachman Teaches 05:31 Torah Accepts Prayers 06:21 Losing and Regaining Chen 09:36 Yosef and the Miracle of Chen 12:07 Seeing Sechel in Everything 15:21 Tzimtzum and Hidden Messages 17:54 Hospital Elevator Story 20:06 Elevator Lesson in Kindness 20:59 Seeing Yourself in Others 21:34 Sefirot and Divine Interaction 23:21 Your Body Mirrors Sefirot 25:13 Baal Shem Tov Got Junk Story 29:07 Messages from a Non Jew 30:13 Snowplow Teshuva Insight 31:17 Elul Border Check Reminder 33:39 Workday as Divine Hints 34:33 Torah as the Code 34:46 Build Seder and Finish Strong 35:16 Closing and Continue Tomorrow

R’ Joey Rosenfeld Torah 1 Shiur 1 Why does Rebbe Nachman begin Likutei Moharan with Torah Alef, and what makes this teaching the foundation for understanding his entire sefer? In this introductory shiur, we explore Rebbe Nachman’s place in the unfolding revelation of Pnimiyus HaTorah, the unique role of Reb Noson in preserving his teachings, and the deeper significance of learning Likutei Moharan as a living connection to the tzaddik. Drawing on the teachings of Rav Avraham ben Rav Nachman and other Breslov masters, we discover why Torah Alef serves as an introduction to the entire sefer and how its central themes of Chochmah, Malchus, Torah, and tefillah reveal the purpose of our spiritual journey. At the heart of the shiur is a powerful idea: the goal of Torah is not simply to elevate ourselves toward Heaven, but to bring the light of Heaven into our everyday lives. Through learning Torah, transforming Torah into personal tefillah, and developing a deeper connection with Hashem, we can restore the chen and chashivus—the beauty, grace, and significance—hidden within ourselves and the world around us. An introduction to Rebbe Nachman’s vision of Torah as a path toward hope, joy, dveikus, and discovering Hashem’s presence in every part of life.

Why is Lechu Chazu the only Torah in Likutey Moharan with no number? Rebbe Nachman said it on his way to Uman, and Rav Noson put it at the very start of the sefer. In this shiur we look at why it isn't only the opening to Likutey Moharan as a whole but the key to Torah Aleph in particular. In this shiur: • Why the "וכו׳" at the end of Lechu Chazu is the biggest proof, and why Rav Noson wasn't afraid of anything • The plural "על ידי": Rav Shimon bar Yochai and Rebbe Nachman, the נ״ח • Rav Shimon's promise that the Torah won't be forgotten, and why "we won't find a clear halacha and a clear mishnah in one place" isn't a concession • "כי לא תשכח מפי זרעו": how the secrets of the Torah show up inside its revealed layer • "דאיהו": every sefer that shines like the Zohar, and why the hidden secrets of the Torah are us Some of these are my own readings, and I stand to be corrected. #RebbeNachman #Breslov #LikuteyMoharan #LikuteiMoharan #LechuChazu #TorahAleph #Torah1 #RabbiNachmanOfBreslov #RavShimonBarYochai #Rashbi #Zohar #Kabbalah #Chassidus #Uman #TorahShiur #JewishLearning #Torah #Emunah #NachmanFried

R' Jonathan Rietti Torah 1 - Shiur 1 I state the main point: Rav Nachman teaches that every line of his Torah holds deep layers, and that learning Torah and turning it into prayer restores our spiritual favor and lets us see Hashem in life. I explain that his Torah links all things and that each sentence can be a headline with hidden meaning. We begin Torah Aleph and we will study how to dig into the words and find practical guidance. I emphasize that true learning must become prayer, and that this change makes our petitions accepted. I show Jacob as a model of clarity and tamim who reads God’s voice in daily events, and we will learn how to follow that path. I open the talk by placing Rav Nachmans Torah at the center of our work. I say that we will learn Torah Aleph from the start. I describe Rav Nachmans claim that every line in his words is a headline and a rule. I explain the palace image. I say that small anomalies in the text are deliberate signs. I tell listeners that digging beneath the surface yields hidden treasure. I summarize that Rav Nachman asks us to learn with care and to find layered meaning by close attention and by prayer. I stress that Torah learning must become prayer. I say that turning study into tefilla shows true intent. I offer the practical point that davening and learning together give the eyes to see God in daily life. I end by inviting listeners to test these ideas in study and in prayer and to expect practical change when they do. Takeaways:I state that Rav Nachman teaches that every line of his Torah functions as a headline revealing deeper layers.I explain that learning Torah must become tefilla, turning study into earnest prayer and dependence on God.We emphasize meticulous attention to dikduk, because each grammatical detail can unlock hidden meanings and spiritual treasures.I assert that true khayn and hashivas arise from inner connection to God and are lost through deliberate sin.We note that panim mirror panim: a person's inner thought and feeling are reflected immediately in facial expression.I claim that Torah study refines perception so we can discern God's voice in ordinary life and events.We describe how returning the nation's favor requires elevating our spiritual status through sustained learning, prayer, and teshuva.I remind listeners that the teacher acts as a midwife to bring forth wisdom already present within the student.

#Breslov #LikuteyMoharan #UmanRoshHashana In 1958 a twelve-year-old boy asked his mother if he could daven Rosh Hashana with the Breslover chassidim on the Lower East Side. She said no. So he went to the Mir, and he closed his eyes, and he imagined himself standing with them. And then he asked Hashem for one thing: that next year he should be by the Rebbe's tziyun. This was Cold War Russia. There was no getting into the country, let alone to Uman. Nobody was talking about Uman at all. He got there in 1969. That boy was the maggid shiur's father. The letter he wrote about it — to Moshe Yaakov Eisner a"h, an elter bochur already learning in Eretz Yisrael — turned up years later. Part 1 of Torah 4 at Breslov New Hempstead, given 16 Elul, exactly two weeks before Rosh Hashana. "WHO SAYS?" The shiur opens on a question from the room, and the answer goes straight at the word itself. Who says Reb Nachman is true? Who says the Tikkun HaKlali works? Who says Reb Noson didn't write Likutey Moharan himself? The word "who says" is already kefirah. Because "who says" means: I do not want to believe, I want to understand. And the first platform of Yiddishkeit is not understanding. It is belief — and belief means I do not understand. Only from that platform does Hashem give the matanah we ask for three times a day: da'as. You start understanding from the platform of not understanding. Tachlis hayedia shelo neida. Which is the whole problem of this Torah, because Torah 4 opens k'she'adam yodea — when a person KNOWS that everything that happens to him is for his good. Knowing, not believing. The Rebbe never says the word emunah here. And yet the entire mechanism that gets you to that yedia runs through emunah and through vidui devarim to the tzaddik. THE TRAILER Everybody has had the moment: that was Hashem. That was clear Hashem. That moment is a sneak preview of a trailer of a tiny piece of the movie. Because for that one thing to happen to you at that hour, the whole briah had to be built a certain way. The dots go all the way back to brias ha'olam — and you will never see far enough back to watch them connect. ROSH HASHANA ON SHABBOS Two weeks out — and really two weeks to the second day, which is when the ungezetzt actually starts. The first day everybody is still excited. The second day your head is already leaving, and you start asking: what did I do here? What did I get? A year when Rosh Hashana falls on Shabbos has no shofar and no tashlich the first day. October 7th was such a year. COVID was such a year. And so were good years. So what makes the difference? Not the answer you would expect — the answer given here is about what you bring, and why you came. MEN HOT ZICH GEFREGT And then the thing the maggid shiur heard from his shver in the name of Rav Gedalya Kenig zecher tzaddik livracha, about the years the tziyun was shut and there was not even a minyan there: מען האט זיך געפרעגט דער רבי רשות פאר מען האט פארמאכט They asked the Rebbe's permission before they closed it. Sit with what kind of emunah says a sentence like that. Also inside: the kibbutz on 16th Avenue and 55th Street, fifty or sixty men, and a father telling his son the whole world is going to come — while the son, embarrassed, looked around the room and counted. Reb Shmuel Breines and the Breines boys before Ne'ilah, and Likutey Tefillos ayin-vav, and being told that if you say it you will stand at the tziyun next year. Reb Tzvi Aryeh Rosenfeld's Talmud Torah for boys who went to public school, and what came out of it. The Rebbe and Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai — mi ron, who will sing when they cannot come to me — and ani ron. And 216 years later, fifty thousand people, thirty hours of travel, to a town in the middle of nowhere. יא געדאווענט נישט געדאווענט, יא געשלאפן נישט געשלאפן, יא געגעסן נישט געגעסן — אבי זיי ביי מיר ראש השנה. He is not asking for your feelings. He is not asking for your da'as. He is asking for your presence.
