Erev Sukkos. Nothing prepared, as always — and then one comment in the room twisted the whole thing in a different direction.Start with where we actually are. From Rosh Chodesh Elul to Simchas Torah there is one stretch with no Yom Tov in it at all: the four days between Yom Kippur and Sukkos. Four days with nothing to hold on to. And they decide everything.Elul is HaMelech basadeh, the King in the field, campaigning for His own inauguration. Rosh Hashana is the coronation — v'yitnu lecha kesser meluchah — and the Rebbe says the crown is made of every kind of diamond and every kind of sapphire, which is every kind of Yid. The inauguration is live, and it happens in Uman. You can watch it from Boro Park. But you were invited to sit on the dais.Then Yom Kippur. And then — nothing.• Motzaei Yom Kippur, the urges come booming back. Every one of them. You just came through the holiest hours of the year and the yetzer hara is waiting at the door, and the four days with no Yom Tov in them are exactly where he does his work• Hamtana — the waiting. What the Rebbe calls the real teshuvah. You apologized and she said yes and her face has not changed yet. What do most of us do? Forget about it, I'm not saying it again. But if you wait it out, and face the humiliation, and do not run — the light comes back, and she comes back to you the way she came the first time• Elul through Yom Kippur is teshuva mi'yirah — I am scared, I want a good year, parnassa, nachas. Sukkos is teshuva me'ahava. The four days are the bridge, and there is no other way across• Rav Aharon on the road to Breslov, and what Reb Nosson said to him: even if the Rebbe himself told me not to come, I would not listen, because I know his real ratzon is that I should come• The three things Reb Nosson had clear from the Rebbe: Shulchan Aruch every day. Hisbodedus every day. And the third• Hisbodedus in bed, before the day starts. Negelvasser, back under the blanket, no phone, nothing has happened yet, nothing has tainted you, your neshama just came back from Hashem. Mateisi b'dimasi arsi — I soaked my bed with my tears• L'fareish kol libo — not help me and save me, but what am I feeling right now? And if you have to think about it, that is already the answer. You are not thinking your feelings, you are thinking your thinking• Which is why a man lives reactive, reactive, reactive — and even his proactive thinking is business, wife, children, tasks, transactions. What about me?• "She is always wrong with the story, and she is always right with the feeling." She is the scanner. She only knows one thing — are you providing, physically, emotionally, spiritually — and when you are not, beep, beep, beep. She finds some small thing you did not do and goes to pieces over it, and you are standing there saying what did I do? And you know exactly what you did. She does not. But she feels it• The wife as the Shechinah, the mekabel, the feminine — and kudsha brich hu as what is supposed to be coming toward her• The yetzer hara walked into the beis medrash. You can be sitting in the beis medrash and be in She'ol Tachtis with a scroll and the press of a button — and with AI it is worse. So what is your remedy? What are you actually going to do?• B'hai sefer haZohar yifkun min galusa — the answer is pnimiyus haTorah, because pnimiyus haTorah speaks to your challenges. It understands them• And the sicha: ve'achshav yesh nachal nove'a shemetaher mikol haksamim — now there is a flowing spring that cleanses us from every stain• Then the sukkah. Tzila d'mehemnusa — out of the house we sinned in, into neutral territory, to get to know each other again. The lulav and esrog as armor. And Simchas Torah, where we marry the Torah from Bereishis, from the beginning, like the first timeOne more day. One more day, Hashem. Get me through this one more day.#Sukkos #Sukkot #ErevSukkos #Teshuva #TeshuvaMeAhava #YomKippur #SimchasTorah #Hisbodedus #Hitbodedut #Breslov #Breslev #RebNachman #RebbeNachman #RebNoson #ZoharHakadosh #Zohar #RashbiRavShimon #PnimiyusHaTorah #NachalNovea #Shechinah #Marriage #Relationships #Emuna #Emunah #Uman #UmanRoshHashana #Tzaddik #SelfAwareness #Awareness #Feelings #Elul #HaMelechBasadeh #Lulav #Esrog #TzilaDemehemnusa #TorahShiur #Shiur #JewishSpirituality #JewishGrowth #BaalTeshuva #Yiddishkeit #EilechVanaseh

Sitting around the table after Rosh Hashana, telling it the way you'd tell a friend who has never been. It starts with the week before — a couple of hundred people and easy access to the tziyun on Sunday, harder on Monday, and by Tuesday you had to push your way through. Waves of people arriving every day until the whole place filled. And then the question somebody asks that nobody ever really answers: why is he buried in Uman at all? Thirty years before the Rebbe was born, Gonta came through, city by city. A fire in the square and a tzelem beside it — convert or jump. The mayor of Uman came out to surrender the city and offered his own daughter, Sophia, if the Jews would be spared. Gonta took the daughter and killed the Jews anyway. Thirty thousand of them. Twelve survived, and those twelve dug one pit on a mountain and made a kever achim. Years later the Rebbe passes through Uman on his way to Breslov and stays two weeks — in a room overlooking that cemetery. These neshamos are waiting for me to be metaken them. And he says he wants to be buried there. And another sicha, which is a hard thing to hear: he would have wanted Eretz Yisrael — but if I am buried in Eretz Yisrael, nobody will come. Here, everybody is going to come. What else we go through: • Berel and Aharon. Rav Aharon the Rav asks Erev Rosh Hashana whether to go back to his kehillah or stay — and gets yes to both questions. And Berel, a craftsman, a pshut'er Yid, an ones, does not make it. Reb Nosson tries to excuse him and the Rebbe will not take the excuse: "I said nobody should be missing. And Berela and Aharon are both missing."The greatest tzaddik of the generation and the simplest Yid, named in one breath • The promise at the kever — a pruta l'tzedaka, ten Kapitlach Tehillim, shelo yashuv od l'ivlato — and the Yiddish: I will lay myself out, in the length and in the breadth, and by his peyos I will pull him out of She'ol Tachtis u'mitachtav • What She'ol Tachtis actually means. She'ol is a bottomless pit — so what is tachtis? And then the Rebbe is mechadesh a place underneath it • The man who went to Uman on a free ticket, partied the whole Yom Tov, never once went to the tziyun — and on the way to the bus called out Rabbeinu, todah. Months later, the car accident, the beis din shel maalah, few mitzvos and many aveiros — and a redheaded yungerman walks in and says "he is from my people." They object that he never even came to the kever. But he called me Rebbe • Tikkun HaKlali is not only for tikkun habris. From Reb Yudel Kenig: it is the klali — the general remedy, for everything • Why we really come: not for ourselves. He needs every neshama for the tikkunim the world needs. You go because he said to come. Everything else is bonus • The ohr is always higher than you. Whatever level you are on, the light is above it — your lows in Uman are higher than your highest highs at home And the part for anyone who just got back: • The integration is the hardest part. You come home and reality hits you smack in the face, and it does not wait a second. And you think — all my tefillos were that reality should get better, and I came back and it hit me the other way? • Surrender to that reading and the whole Uman was gornisht vert. Farkert. This is Hashem answering your tefillos. This is Him saying: here, I am giving you your challenge • First know where you are. Then take the ohr you got there and channel it into everything you asked for — a better husband, a better father, a better friend, a better human being, a better Yid #Uman #UmanRoshHashana #Uman5787 #Breslov #Breslev #RebNachman #RebbeNachman #RabbiNachmanOfBreslov #Tziyun #Kever #Gonta #KedosheiUman #KeverAchim #Sofiyivka #Ukraine #TikkunHaKlali #TikkunHabris #RoshHashana #RoshHashanah #Teshuva #Teshuvah #SheolTachtis #RebNosson #RavAharon #LikuteiMoharan #LikuteyMoharan #ChayeiMoharan #Chassidus #Chassidut #Emuna #Emunah #Tzaddik #Neshama #Hisbodedus #Hitbodedut #Integration #ComingHome #JewishHistory #JewishSpirituality #BaalTeshuva #JewishGrowth #TorahShiur #Shiur #Yiddishkeit #AmYisrael #Breslov613 #NachNachma

Part two, and the last hours. We continue straight on through Reb Nosson's own account, line by line. It begins with him being asked to move the Rebbe from the chair to the bed — his head and most of his body leaning on Reb Nosson, his feet barely touching the ground. • And as he lifts him onto the bed: לְאַט, לְאַט — in Yiddish, fawliye, fawliye. Slowly, slowly. And Reb Nosson lays him down slowly and gently, and wonders why he had to be warned about it at all • And the Rebbe tells him: אֲנִי כָּבֵד עַתָּה — I am heavy now. And Reb Nosson adds, in his own parenthesis: a person before his passing becomes heavy, because the chiyus is beginning to leave him • וּבְכָל זֶה רָמַז לִי שֶׁהוּא קָרוֹב מְאֹד לְהִסְתַּלְּקוּתוֹ. וַאֲנִי לֹא שָׁמַעְתִּי כָּל זֹאת כְּלָל אָז. In all of this he was hinting to me that he was very near his histalkus. And I did not hear any of it at the time • Lying on the bed, looking at him the whole time — and I merited to serve him then, alone, and to hand him everything he needed • Rebbi, take something to restore yourself. "What will you give me?" Tea. "With an egg yolk." And Reb Nosson cooking it — the water, the yolk, the sugar — giving him water first for netilas yadayim, and the Rebbe saying it is still too hot, because in those days he was careful not to drink anything hot that would stir the blood again. A few days before his histalkus the bleeding had stopped And then the end, and the praises Reb Nosson writes afterwards. • אַשְׁרֵי עֵינַיִם שֶׁלֹּא הִסְתַּכְּלוּ בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה — praised are the eyes that never looked at this world, כִּי כָּל הָעוֹלָם כֻּלּוֹ הָיָה אֶצְלוֹ כְּהֶרֶף עַיִן — because the whole world was to him like the blink of an eye. Praised are the ears that heard no sound of this world — and so with every limb and every sense • And where does that language come from? The Seven Beggars. Sippurei Maasiyos, maaseh 13. Look there well and understand. Nobody in the world ever said praises like that about any tzaddik — and if he knew how to say them, he was surely holding there himself • They carry him out of the house, and Reb Nosson takes hold of the corner of his garment as they go • And the bed they carried him on — I gave instruction that it be made from his chair. The high chair he had said Torah on that Rosh Hashana in Uman. They broke it apart, and made it into his bed • Thousands accompanying him, unbearable crowding — and those carrying the bed were lifted off the ground, flying in the air. And I too carried him a little • Buried b'shalom, Wednesday, the fifth day of Sukkos, in Uman — the city he chose in his lifetime, because there were many kedoshim there • כִּי שָׁם הַמָּקוֹם הַמּוּכָן לוֹ מִשֵּׁשֶׁת יְמֵי בְרֵאשִׁית — because that is the place prepared for him from the six days of creation, to labor there at the tikkun of the world, for the generations — for anyone who will come to him there and say the ten Kapitlach Tehillim, as he promised in his lifetime אַשְׁרֵי הַזּוֹכֶה לָזֶה. And that is where Reb Nosson ends it. Not with the passing. With the promise — and with the reminder that it was never a private tikkun. Every Yid who comes and says those ten kapitlach is bringing a tikkun ha'olam.

R' Micha Golshevsly Torah 73 Pt. 1 The Power of Tehillim in Achieving Teshuvah This episode explores the concepts of Teshuvah and Tehillim and their deep, interconnected significance. The discussion begins with the common challenge of people's lack of urgency in doing Teshuvah, often stemming from feelings of despair. Using the metaphor of a general in despair after a loss, it emphasizes the importance of Tehillim in rekindling one's desire and ability to perform Teshuvah. Through various scenarios, whether someone is clueless on where to begin or cannot follow through despite knowing the steps, Tehillim is presented as a guiding and transformative tool. The script also highlights different stages of Teshuvah, the spiritual orientation needed for the Jewish New Year, and the inspirational story of a girl whose adherence to Shabbat brings about a miraculous change in her family's faith. Ultimately, the power of Tehillim is celebrated for its ability to bring individuals closer to their spiritual mission and help them achieve true transformation. Kollel Toras Chaim was established to learn Rebbe Nachman torah in depth and to live with his torah for several months with chaburas in various cities learning together.

The First Step in Tshuva: The Power of Tefillah This video continues the discussion on Torah Ayin Gimel and the principles of Tshuva (repentance). It emphasizes the various commonly understood steps of Tshuva, such as Vidui (confession), Aziv Esachet (forsaking sin), Kabbalah La'aseb (acceptance for the future), and Harata (regret). However, the main focus is on the notion that Tshuva begins even before these actions—with Tefillah (prayer). Through references to Rabbinic teachings and biblical texts, the script asserts that the real initial step in Tshuva is the desire to return to Hashem (God). It is stressed that expressing this desire and calling out to Hashem is crucial, as it sets the stage for the process of repentance. The lesson concludes that Tshuva, which includes elements like heartfelt prayer and the eagerness to change, aligns one with Hashem's will and opens the path to true repentance. Lastly, it delves into the profound concept of the fifty gates of Tshuva, describing how the final gate, representing complete repentance, is a cooperative effort between human initiative and divine assistance.

The Kabbalistic Connection Between Adam, Chava, and Prayer This episode delves into the Kabbalistic teachings of Rav Nosson, exploring the concept of Adam and Chava as one entity before their separation, and how this metaphor extends to the creation and perception of existence. It discusses how speech (Malchus) is central to creation, as articulated through divine breath and words. The episode further explains the importance of transforming Torah study into prayer (tefillah), emphasizing that Adam's fundamental purpose and, by extension, the Jewish nation's purpose is to daven. It suggests that the ultimate challenge faced by Adam and humanity is to turn divine commandments into heartfelt petitions to Hashem, thus achieving a deeper connection and fulfillment of divine will. 00:00 Introduction to Adam and Chava's Creation 00:14 The Concept of Malchus and Speech 01:31 Connecting Creation to Tefillah 01:58 The Role of Davening in Creation 02:35 Turning Torah into Tefillah 03:02 Adam's Purpose and the Nachash 03:31 The Deeper Meaning of Tefillah 05:22 The Essential Role of Davening 06:36 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
