We aren’t only learning Likutey Moharan. We’re learning how to teach it. Torah isn’t for brain stimulation. The point is to become a mashpia, to share it with your spouse, your friends, your parents, and to radiate it out like the moon. The ground rules before we go back into Torah 1: Lilmod u’lelamed: we learn so that we can give it over Nothing is random. Every encounter, person and object is a message from Hashem Why going back over the material is never repetitive: the same words say something new every day Spend 75–80% of the time on chazara. You’ll get new layers and keep the map of the Torah Building the Torah in layers, one floor on top of another Rule #1: the Rebbe is talking directly to you Surrender: “When I open this sefer, I know nothing. I’m not fitting this into my life, I’m fitting me into this.” There’s no such thing as a stupid question. Challenge the Rebbe to understand him, not from ego Take the questions with you: in the dentist’s chair, falling asleep, and waking up with an epiphany Kollel Toras Chaim.

Kavei el Hashem, chazak v’ya’ametz libecha, v’kavei el Hashem. Hope to Hashem twice: once through Torah, and again through tefillah. Each one needs the other. In this shiur on Likutey Moharan Torah 1, in English and Yiddish, Rabbi Dovid Firestone opens Da ki al yedei haTorah: Kavei and mikveh: all Hashem wants is for us to look up to Him. That’s the foundation of emunah.What is chashivus? To have real existence, to take up a place. Ani, akur v’suma chashuv k’meis, and why vayivez Esav es habechorah meant it had no place in him at all.A ba’al tzurah is an ish chochmah: someone whose every act is connected to the SourceZeh l’umas zeh asah Elokim: the panim and the achor, and ya’er Panav. How the klipah feeds off kedushah, and where our chen fell.Chen v’chashivus versus chashivus v’chen: by us the chashivus comes from the chen. By them it’s false, like dressing a monkey in make-up.Hakol kol Yaakov: when the voice of Torah and tefillah is strong, the hands of Esav have no powerWhat does chen have to do with my Gemara? When you learn, you engage in Hashem’s words, and the Shechinah sits opposite you.Torah as spiritual nutrition: learning sends kedushah to the whole body, from your heart to your little fingerAyeles ahavim v’ya’alas chen: the Torah raises the chen of those who learn it. A learning man without chen should check what’s wrong in the wiring.

Welcome back to a new zman! R' Yitzi Grunhut of England opens the chaburah with the first Torah of Likutey Moharan: אשרי תמימי דרך ההלכים בתורת ה׳, "Fortunate are those who are wholesome in their way, who walk in the Torah of Hashem." Rebbe Nachman starts with a sharp statement: דע, כי על ידי התורה נתקבלין כל התפלות וכל הבקשות. All our tefillos and bakashos are accepted through the Torah. Why would that be? And what happens to a tefillah that is focused and sincere but missing Torah b'koach, Torah that is alive in us? In this interactive shiur, R' Yitzi explores: 🔹 What tefillah really means: connection, bakashah, emunah, and knowing who you're talking to 🔹 The bigger question: who is the "I" doing the davening? 🔹 Torah as the key to discovering who you truly are. "גל עיני ואביטה נפלאות מתורתך" and "פתח לבי בתורתך": not only "open my heart to Your Torah" but "open my heart with Your Torah" 🔹 The חן וחשיבות של ישראל (the grace and true importance of Klal Yisrael) and how it "fell" in galus 🔹 Why we see the glamour and glitter "by them": social media, "basking in reflected glory," and the galus mindset 🔹 How you can expect others to see your chen when you can't see it in yourself 🔹 Torah as אילת אהבים ויעלת חן, which raises chen on those who learn it 🔹 Why part of a tefillah can be "left behind," and how Torah b'koach lets all of you be heard This is the foundation Torah of Likutey Moharan, the "Bereishis" that holds everything that comes after it. 🎙️ Speaker: R' Yitzi Grunhut (England) 📚 Kollel Toras Chaim 🎧 Also on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
