Stories of Rav Gedalya Kenig & the Mesorah of Daas Rabbeinu | Hilula Drasha · R' Nachman Fried

Jul 9, 2026

49:31

On the hilula (yahrzeit) of Rav Gedalya Aharon Kenig zt"l, R' Nachman Fried shares personal memories and the story of a life given entirely to Rebbe Nachman — recorded at Breslov, New Hempstead.R' Fried — whose father became a Breslover at the age of ten, drawn close by Reb Tzvi Rosenfeld, and who himself married into Rav Gedalya's family — traces the mesorah of Daas Rabbeinu down the generations, and tells the story of a dreamer whom nearly everyone thought was "off": the man who believed hageulah teluyah b'binyan Tzfas, that the redemption itself is bound up in the building of Tzfas — and who, with R' Fried's shver, was among the very first to move there and make it real.In this drasha:Growing up around Rav Gedalya — the stories a grandson remembersThe chain of Daas Rabbeinu: the Rebbe → Reb Nosson → Reb Nachman Tulchiner → Reb Avraham b'Reb Nachman → Reb Avraham Sternhartz (rebbe of both Rav Gedalya and Reb Tzvi Rosenfeld)"Hageulah teluyah b'binyan Tzfas" — Rav Gedalya's dream, and the first families to move to TzfasThe coins and the retzonos: "Gedalya, mit dem vestu boien Tzfas?" — how every single coin was the ratzon of another YidA life of mesiras nefesh — collecting, dreaming, and never once giving up#RavGedalyaKenig #Breslov #NachmanFried #Tzfas #RebbeNachman #Hilula #DaasRabbeinu #NachalNovea #Yahrzeit #Emunah #ChaimKrame

The Ultimate Daas — What Rebbe Nachman Wants You to Know | LM Torah 4 · R' Jonathan Rietti (Shiur 9)

Jul 9, 2026

1:11:30

Shiur #9 in R' Jonathan Rietti's b'iyun on Rebbe Nachman's Likutey Moharan, Torah 4 (Part 1) — Breslov, New Hempstead, with BRI and Reb Chaim Kramer. This single paragraph, R' Rietti says, is the ikar — it sets the tone for the entire Torah. Having laid out Hilchos Kabbalas Yissurin last week, he now reaches the heart of it: the daas Rebbe Nachman is defining — the knowing that everything that happens comes b'kavana from Hashem, only for your benefit, and that this whole world of gashmiyus is nothing but a kli to find Him inside. In this shiur: The ultimate daas — knowing Hashem is good, and only good, all the time Tachlis (תכלית): the kli hidden between the two tavs, and why this world is preparation for the next Im yistakel al hatachlis — how looking at the true purpose lets you reinterpret the "bad" as rak tovos gedolos, only great benefits Every red light, every sichsuch with a parent, a child, an in-law — b'kavana meHashem, l'tovaso The two reasons the hard things come — and what Hashem is really after Continuing ahavas Hashem and blessing al hara k'shem she'mevarech al hatova #LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #JonathanRietti #Torah4 #Daas #Emunah #Tachlis #OlamHaba #Bitachon #ChaimKramer #BRI

Suffering — Do You Know How to Respond? | LM Torah 4 · R' Jonathan Rietti (Shiur 8)

Jul 9, 2026

1:06:17

Shiur #8 in R' Jonathan Rietti's b'iyun series on Rebbe Nachman's Likutey Moharan, Torah 4 (Part 1) — Breslov, New Hempstead, with BRI and Reb Chaim Kramer. If yissurin are simply part of living in this world — the potholes and bumps no one escapes — then the real question was never how much we get, but how well we respond. This week R' Rietti opens the "Hilchos Yissurin," the laws of receiving suffering: how a person moves from an intellectual "it's for the good" to keshe'adam yodea — actually experiencing that everything, the sweet and the bitter alike, is only l'tovaso, with no gray and no wiggle room. In this shiur: "Hilchos Yissurin" — where the laws of accepting suffering actually live (in Shas, in the Rambam, and beyond Shulchan Aruch) Chayav adam levarech al hara k'shem she'mevarech al hatova — the Mishnah in Brachos (9:5) and blessing the bad like the good Ahavas Hashem b'chol levavcha — serving Him with both the yetzer tov and the yetzer hara The real hishtadlus is tefillah — asking Hashem that everything, good and hard, become a platform to find Him Todah la'Hashem for the good, and todah la'Hashem for the not-good — emunah as a daily exercise The Rambam's words: even in eis hamari, in ka'as and rogez — and why anger, gaava, sinah, kinah and taavah are the yetzer hara of the mind #LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #JonathanRietti #Torah4 #Yissurim #Emunah #Bitachon #ThankYouHashem #Suffering #ChaimKramer #BRI

I'll Thank You for the Tough Times — Likutey Moharan Torah 4 | R' Jonathan Rietti (Shiur 7)

Jul 9, 2026

1:14:47

hiur #7 in R' Jonathan Rietti's b'iyun series on Rebbe Nachman's Likutey Moharan, Torah 4 (Part 1) — recorded at Breslov, New Hempstead, in partnership with BRI (Breslov Research Institute) and Reb Chaim Kramer. Rebbe Nachman opens Torah 4 with a life-changing idea: keshe'adam yodea she'kol me'ora'osav hem l'tovaso — when a person truly knows that everything that happens to him, the sweet and the bitter alike, is for his benefit — that knowing is itself me'ein Olam Haba, a taste of the World to Come, the world of only good, the world where every question finally has its answer. From there R' Rietti opens up how we come to thank Hashem not only for the open chessed but with both of His Names — ba'Elokim ahallel davar, baHashem ahallel davar (Tehillim 56:11) — praising Him exactly the same in the times of rachamim and the times of din. In other words: I'll thank You for the tough times too. In this shiur: Keshe'adam yodea — why knowing (not only feeling) that it's all l'tovasi is a glimpse of Olam Haba This world of questions vs. the World to Come, the world of answers Ba'Elokim / baHashem ahallel davar — praising Hashem through both Names, in chessed and in din Hallel = simcha: why real praise flows from joy (Radak) "In the moment you can't always feel it" — Reb Nosson's honesty, and how to live the yediah anyway The mind and the body — "I have cancer, I am not cancer": stress, pain, and the power of the mind Moving into Vidui Devarim — the "bullet" used against Breslov for years, and why confession before the tzaddik is a mitzvas aseh d'Oraisa found all over the Torah (Rambam; the korban chatas/asham; Parashas Chukas and the snakes) Reshaim, Olam Haba, and the tzaddik who shares a chelek of his own — the candle that lights other candles without losing its flame With appreciation to Reb Shmuel & Motti Seitlin, Tzvi Nachman Fried, Tzvi Goldring, Reb Chaim Kramer, and BRI. #LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #JonathanRietti #Torah4 #Hodaah #Emunah #Bitachon #ThankYouHashem #OlamHaba #VidueiDevarim #ChaimKramer #BRI #Teshuvah

What a Real Friend Truly Is — Remembering Chaim ben Yitzchak z"l

Jun 29, 2026

6:38

Words spoken on 14 Tammuz, five years after the petirah of my dearest friend, Chaim ben Yitzchak z"l — taken in the Surfside collapse — built on a single pasuk: chaver ani l'chol asher yireucha u'l'shomrei pikudecha (Tehillim 119:63), from the very ches that begins his name.What is a real friend? Of all our relationships, a friend is the one we choose — not the family we're born into, but the soul we pick. And Dovid HaMelech reveals that the true depth of that bond was never in the gashmius — not the trips, not the good times — but in l'chol asher yireucha: the spiritual thread, the yiras Shamayim, that two friends share. Which is why a real connection doesn't end when a person leaves this world. It can grow even deeper. Chaim was my mentor, the older brother I never had — and he has changed my life more since he passed than in all the years he was here.This is also about who Chaim became: a man who made himself last, always; whose humility was forged in the hardest years of his life, caring for his wife; the tzaddik he quietly became. He told me that the one thing that brought him comfort in his darkest times was the Likutei Moharan, Rebbe Nachman's Torah — and that is the very thing we are continuing now.And one thing we cannot let ourselves pack away: the way he was taken was not ordinary. It was a message — to those who were close, and to all of Klal Yisrael. May we hear it, be m'orer one another, do teshuvah, and merit the geulah. May his neshamah have an aliyah, and may he be a meilitz yosher for his family — Shmueli, Yehuda, and Shana — and for all of Klal Yisrael.#RebbeNachman #Breslov #Friendship #Tehillim #Hesped #Chizuk #Emunah #Teshuvah #Uman #LikuteiMoharan

All Suffering Comes From a Lack of Da'as | Likutey Moharan Torah 4 (Part 6) — R' Rietti

Jun 15, 2026

1:07:40

Continuing the in-depth (b'iyun) journey through Torah 4 in the first chelek of Likutey Moharan, R' Rietti returns to the opening pasuk of the Aseres Hadibros — Anochi Hashem Elokecha asher hotzeisicha me'eretz Mitzrayim — the words we heard directly from Hakadosh Baruch Hu at Har Sinai. From that revelation flows the whole lesson: a glimpse of Olam Haba is the state in which we know that nothing can go wrong, because Ein Od Milvado — there is nothing besides Him.Rebbe Nachman teaches that every kind of pain and suffering comes from a lack of da'as. When a person truly knows that everything is from Hashem and that Hashem is only good, the very experience of suffering changes. This shiur draws in Torah 250 (Reish Nun) and builds toward the closing thought: everything a person could ever acquire is worth nothing without this da'as — the knowing that Hashem is the One standing behind your spouse, your parnasa, and everything in your life.In this shiur:A glimpse of Olam Haba = knowing nothing can go wrong (ביום ההוא יהיה ה' אחד ושמו אחד)Ein Od Milvado — why the nations and enemies of history, in truth, "don't exist"All yisurim and pain rooted in a lack of da'asChanging your mazel through tefillahDa'as as Hashem's own mind — and what happens when the mind is "full" (uk'shenishlam hada'as)The klalos and the exiles — Crusades, the Inquisition, the Marranos — read through this lensThe closing: what is everything a person acquires worth, without da'as?#LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #Torah4 #EinOdMilvado #Daas #Emunah #OlamHaba #JewishWisdom #Chassidus #Hisbodedus #RabbiRietti

Anochi Hashem & the Secret of "Gam Zu Letovah" | Likutey Moharan TORAH 4 LESSON 5 (R' Rietti

Jun 15, 2026

1:13:17

In this in-depth (be'iyun) shiur, R' Rietti returns to Torah 4 in the first chelek of Likutey Moharan, learning how the opening pasuk of the Aseres Hadibros — Anochi Hashem Elokecha asher hotzeisicha me'eretz Mitzrayim — holds the entire structure of creation within it, from Bereishis all the way to Matan Torah and Klal Yisrael.At the heart of the lesson is one line of Rebbe Nachman: keshe'adam yodeia shekol me'ora'av hem letovaso — when a person truly knows that everything that happens to him comes from Hashem and is for his good. That da'as, Rebbe Nachman teaches, is a taste of Olam Haba and the way out of ye'ush. And its absence is the real root of suffering itself.In this shiur:Anochi Hashem as the axis of the whole Torah, and how Jewish identity becomes fixed at Har SinaiAsher / Ashrei — Hashem took us out of Mitzrayim with simcha, and the unity of rachamim (Havayah) and din (Elokim)Why da'as is the difference between feeling crushed by yisurim and living with clarityLashon Hakodesh, the oisiyos, and nitzotzos — how Hashem's word builds realityNear-death experiences as a partial glimpse of the world of truthNachum Ish Gamzu and gam zu letovah — and the even higher level that needs no visible resolutionIyov's Hashem nasan, Hashem lakach, yehi shem Hashem mevorachTraining the mind toward kol d'avid Rachmana letav avid#LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #Torah4 #Emunah #Daas #GamZuLetovah #OlamHaba #JewishWisdom #Chassidus #Hisbodedus #RabbiRietti

The Thought of Teshuvah — and Why It Slips Away | SEPHARDIC CENTER SHIUR 3 The Lost Princess

Jun 14, 2026

43:22

We all know the moment: a flash of "I made a mistake — I want to change." A hirhur teshuvah, a thought of return. So why does it so rarely turn into anything? In this live, give-and-take shiur — the third in the Sephardic Center series on Rebbe Nachman's tale of the Lost Princess — we sit with that exact question. Walking through the opening of the story, we watch the King turn into aviha — her father — the moment his daughter is lost. It's not the King who gives decrees and stays distant. It's your Father, and He's in pain. He misses you. That shift is the whole secret of why the search begins — and why our own thought of teshuvah is meant to move us. Along the way: why the spark sparks but the engine won't turn over; why summer is the hardest stretch; the painful Uman cycle of swearing at Rabbeinu's tziyun every Erev Rosh Hashana and falling again; what nekudos tovos have to do with it; and the eitzah — instead of demanding the whole transformation at once, stay inside the hirhur teshuvah, feel the pain of causing your Father pain, and take it one pound at a time. Plus an unforgettable personal story of a child's journey behind the Iron Curtain in 1976 — turned away from Uman, interrogated, and brought instead to the Baal Shem Tov's kever to say Tikkun HaKlali. We close with Rabbeinu's promise: hirhur teshuvah she'lo yashuv od le'ivalto — bring Him your broken stones and your cement, and He will build. In this shiur: The hirhur teshuvah — and why it doesn't become action The King who becomes a Father in pain "It's not the King who misses you — it's your Father" The Uman cycle, nekudos tovos, and not mistaking the spark for the victory The eitzah: stay in the thought, feel the pain, one step at a time A true story from behind the Iron Curtain, 1976 Part of Eilech V'anaseh — a journey through Rebbe Nachman's Lost Princess. #Breslov #RebbeNachman #LostPrincess #Teshuvah #HirhurTeshuvah #Eilech Vanaseh #Uman #Hisbodedus #Hashem #Emunah #SippureiMaasiyos #Chassidus #Torah #JewishWisdom #Spirituality #Faith #RoshHashana #BaalShemTov #JewishPodcast #Shiur

The Lost Princess: Talking to Hashem & Believing in Yourself | Rabbi Chaim Kramer

Jun 12, 2026

56:33

Rabbi Chaim Kramer, founder of the Breslov Research Institute, opens up Rebbe Nachman's tale of the Lost Princess — the story Rebbe Nachman said awakens a hirhur teshuvah, a thought of return, in anyone who hears it. In this warm, practical shiur, Rabbi Kramer brings the story straight into daily life: what teshuvah really is and why it's available every single day; how to make Hashem real through hisbodedus — private, heartfelt conversation with Hashem, speaking to Him the way you'd speak to a close friend; and why the most important "leg" of emunah is believing in yourself. If you can believe you damaged something, you can believe you're able to repair it. Along the way he weaves in Reb Noson's teachings from Likutey Halachos and Likutey Moharan: the secret hidden in the laws of kashrus — the things we have to work hard for versus the gifts that simply arrive on their own; the power of staying silent in the face of humiliation as the highest form of teshuvah; and the hidden Name of Hashem, Ehyeh — "I will be." A story-filled, down-to-earth talk on returning to Hashem, finding Him 24/7, and never giving up on yourself. In this shiur: What teshuvah really is — and why it's available every day Hisbodedus: talking to Hashem like a friend Emunah as a four-legged chair — and why believing in yourself is the key leg Hirhur teshuvah: the single thought that can change everything Kashrus as a map for trusting Hashem (Likutey Halachos) Accepting humiliation in silence — the highest teshuvah (Likutey Moharan 6) The hidden Name Ehyeh — "I will be" Source: Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, the tale of the Lost Princess (Sippurei Maasiyos), taught by Rabbi Chaim Kramer. #Breslov #RebbeNachman #ChaimKramer #Teshuvah #Hisbodedus #Emunah #LostPrincess #SippureiMaasiyos #LikuteyMoharan #RebNoson #Hashem #JewishWisdom #Torah #Spirituality #Chassidus #Faith #Prayer #JewishPodcast #Uman #BelieveInYourself

The Lost Princess (Sephardic Center) #2 — Hear Your Humiliation: The Way Back to the Real You

May 29, 2026

1:14:28

Ikar hateshuva — shyishma bizyono yidom v'yishtok. Hear your humiliation. Be still. That is the way back. Shiur 2 in the weekly Torah series on the Lost Princess of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, at the Sephardic Center on Avenue P in Brooklyn. With R' Nachman Fried. This shiur picks up right where Shiur 1 left off — and walks through the spiritual lull between Shavuos and Rosh Hashana, the moment the words slipped from the King's mouth, and the moment the viceroy stood up uninvited and asked, give me a servant, give me a horse, give me money for the journey. The Rebbe is teaching us, in every detail, who the tzaddik is — and who we are. What we cover: The Rebbe is for everyone — vos art es mir az einer bentcht zich b'kavana un nisht visen az es iz fun mir. What does it bother me if someone bentches with kavana and doesn't know it's from me? The Rebbe never cared if you became his chassid. He cared if you connected to Hashem. The post-Shavuos void — why the Torah deliberately leaves us with no Yom Tov between Shavuos and Rosh Hashana. The trigger we're trying to distract from is underneath the boredom — and Hashem put it there on purpose. The three beliefs — Hashem, the tzaddik, and (the one the yetzer hara works hardest to break) YOU. The ladybug-in-the-pool story. You are relevant. You can't make peace with terrorists — my father olav hashalom, the yetzer hara's real address (not Ibiza — your head), and why the doubt about your own relevance is the yesod of Amalek. Ego = Edging G-d Out — how every time we let our strength protect our weakness, we lay down another iron layer between us and the chelek Eloka mima'al inside. The avoda — yishma bizyono, yidom v'yishtok. Hear your humiliation. Stay quiet. Stay present. That is the kli the light is waiting to fill. The story moves — the broiges, the words that slipped from the King's mouth (vnishtguter zol dir nemen), the lost princess vanishing, and the moment the viceroy stood up without being asked. That uninvited amad is the tzaddik. That uninvited amad is the tzaddik in you. Compassion needs Da'as — feeling someone's pain is rachmanus. Acting on it is l'rachem. The bridge between them is da'as — and da'as is what lets you see the godliness inside the table, the chair, the meshulach at your door. Why he asked for a servant, a horse, and money — chavruta + nefesh habahamis (to ride, not to be ridden) + parnassa for the road. We were the viceroy. We agreed to come down here. We said yes. The action plan — bli neder, one moment of humiliation this week. With your wife if you're married. With a partner. In business. One time. Hear it. Stay. Don't run. That's how the chomah stays standing and the Lost Princess can be heard again. — 📺 More shiurim: Kollel Toras Chaim on YouTube — @KollelTorasChaim 💬 Join the WhatsApp updates: Kollel Toras Chaim Torah Updates 📍 Live weekly: Sephardic Brussels Center, Avenue P, Brooklyn #LostPrincess #RebbeNachman #Breslov #AmadHaSheini #SephardicCenter #YishmaBizyono

Torah 4, Shiur 3 — Healing the Self You're Ashamed Of: Da'as, Shame, and the Tell-Tale Heart

May 25, 2026

44:37

Kchu imachem devarim v'shuvu el Hashem — take words with you, and return to Hashem.Likutey Moharan, Torah Daled (Torah 4) — Shiur 3, learned be'iyun. We go deeper into Os Daled: what da'as really is, and the Baal Shem Tov's secret that the repair you're looking for is already hidden inside the very thing that's broken.What we cover:The recap — me'ein Olam Haba — yediya shleima is knowing shekol me'ora'osav hem l'tovaso, that everything is for the good. Two modes today — HaTov Vehameitiv (the good revealed) and Dayan Emes (the broken) — and the future where it's all HaTov Vehameitiv.Letters are energy — the osiyos Hashem used to create the world are energy points; our words and our experiences become entangled tzerufim. Vidui devarim is taking the broken, jumbled letters of your story and rearranging them back to Hashem.The Baal Shem Tov's chiddush — nega and oneg — mehapech nega l'oneg. It's not a cute wordplay: nega (the deepest stuckness) and oneg (the highest delight) are built from the same letters — ayin, nun, gimmel — only the arrangement differs. So stop hunting for new "letters" outside yourself. Go into the very letters affecting you and rearrange them. The fixing is always already there — that's a core revelation of pnimiyus haTorah.Shame and the Tell-Tale Heart — why we can't find Hashem in our darkest places: shame tells us a part of our story is "unintegratable," so we bury it. (A striking mashal from Poe's Tell-Tale Heart — the buried thing keeps beating until it surfaces.) The cure: honesty before Hashem — You created me, You know me, it's all from You anyway — which lets us integrate and elevate the broken serufim.What da'as actually is — ikkar ha'da'as hu achdus shel chasadim u'gevuros. Da'as isn't knowing about opposites — it's the integration of them. The three mochin: chochma (the flash), bina (the unpacking), and da'as ha'mispashet — drawing the mind down into lived, embodied, emotional experience, where it's never clean, always chesed and gevura mixed together. Full da'as is holding them as one. V'yadata hayom v'hasheivosa el levavecha.Rebuilding the self — the aveiros engraved on the bones; kol atzmosai tomarna — through dibbur and vidui devarim we destroy the broken tziruf and rebuild a malchus d'kedusha: a healthy self-perception. Your thoughts are a language too — reorient the narrative, in vulnerability rooted in the safety of being loved no matter what.—#LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #BaalShemTov #Daas #ViduiDevarim #Torah4

What we cover: Recap — the glimpse of Olam Haba — me'ein Olam Haba is from ayin, an eye: not a taste but a glimpse. The complete da'as that everything — the good and the "bad" — flows from one source, Hashem, who is only good, rooted in ahavah, chesed, and achdus. Vidui devarim before a talmid chacham — why this is not a Breslever chiddush: sources in Shas, Nach, and the Rambam (Hilchos Teshuvah, perek alef). And why vidui (from hoda'ah — to admit / to thank) is not the Catholic "confession." Seif daled — "u'kshe'yeida kol zos" — when a person knows all this, it is called yediya shleima. And ikar ha-da'as is the perfect unity of chasadim u'gvuros — chesed and gevura combined. (Why da'as is the joining of the two, not a sefira of its own.) What gevura actually means — not "power" but restraint. Mai gevuraso shel HaKadosh Baruch Hu? — Eizehu gibor? Ha'kovesh es yitzro. Hashem's gevura is erech apayim — His patience, holding back even with the reshaim. The highest demonstration of His gevura is that He withholds full puranus. Puranus and onesh — re-translated — puranus means payment, not "punishment" (Loshon Hakodesh has no word for punishment). Onesh = ayin (an eye that sees) + nash (to fall) — being shown how I have fallen. Mida k'neged mida is built to let a person see his own mistake. Examples in halacha — the eved ivri who stole and is treated with such chesed that he learns to care; the arei miklat (48 cities of the Levi'im); and the mitzvah of road signs at every junction in Eretz Yisroel. How Rebbe Nachman learns a pasuk — quoting pesukim and Gemaros "out of order" as drush; bittulah shel Torah zu hi kiyuma vs. yesoda — and why the kiyum (a building standing) depends entirely on the yesod (the foundation), per the Maharal. 📚 Likutey Moharan, Torah 4 — ongoing series with Rabbi Rietti #LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #Torah4 #Daas #Gevura #BRI #RavChaimKramer

Torah Daled Seif 6 — Aveiros Engraved on the Bones: The Mechanics of Vidui Devarim

May 21, 2026

26:34

K'chu imachem devarim v'shuvu el Hashem — take words with you, and return to Hashem. Likutey Moharan, Torah Daled (Torah 4) — Seif Vav, learned be'iyun. A review of the first seifim and then a deep walk through the mechanics of how vidui devarim before a talmid chacham elevates the malchus back to its source. What we cover: The review — me'ein Olam Haba — B'shem ahalel davar, b'Elokim ahalel davar: praising Hashem with both the shem rachamim and the shem din. Now we say hatov vehameitiv on the good and dayan emes on the bad; le'asid lavo it will all be hatov vehameitiv — Hashem echad u'shmo echad. Malchus in galus — the malchus de'kedusha is hidden among the nations, who are yonek from it (why they too call Him Elokim). Our avodah is to elevate that malchus back to k'mlo kol ha'aretz Elokim. Devarim = malchus — every davar, every event in olam hazeh, is devarim. K'chu imachem devarim — take the malchus hidden inside the words and bring it back to Hashem through dibbur, the vehicle with which the world was created (Anochi Hashem Elokecha — the aseres hadibros). Echad is ahava — yediya sheleima is the unification of the chasadim and the gevuros; echad is gematria ahava — revealing Hashem's love even inside the midas hadin (es asher ye'ehav Hashem yochiach). Why we need vidui — the bones — aveiros are nechkak, engraved on the atzamos (va'tehi avonosam chakuka al atzmosam). Every aveira re-scrambles the tziruf of the osiyos of Hashem's dibbur — turning lo yihiyeh lecha into yehi lecha — and carves the broken format onto the bones. The mechanics of vidui devarim — kol atzmosai tomarna: dibbur rises from the bones. Talking it out floats up the engraved osiyos; the talmid chacham rebuilds them into their original tziruf, removing the interference between Elokim and Havaya so the malchus can be reconnected to its shoresh. The rayah from Yehuda — Shema Hashem kol Yehuda: Moshe carried Yehuda's vidui, and it is nechshav as if Yehuda was misvadeh before the talmid chacham (Yehuda = malchus). The avodah in practice — vidui to Hashem (ashamnu, bagadnu…) in the presence of the tzaddik; bringing a struggle to a tzaddik for help is itself a form of vidui devarim. Fire against fire — the source of malchus is fire and the Torah is fire; the yetzer hara comes with fire and interferes. Vidui devarim before the talmid chacham (who is ikar Torah) brings the fire of Torah to extinguish the fire of the yetzer hara. Aveiros break the bones; mitzvos reconnect them. Ashreinu. #LikuteyMoharan #RebbeNachman #Breslov #Torah4 #ViduiDevarim #Malchus

The formula of being able to see that everything that happens to me is for my benefit

May 17, 2026

36:31

torah 4 shiur 1 This shiur discusses the spiritual process of attaining "complete knowledge" (yediya sheleimah), which is the profound realization that every event in a person's life, whether perceived as good or bad, is ultimately for their benefit. Drawing on the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, the text explores how this level of consciousness serves as a "glimpse of the World to Come," a state where the divine names of mercy (Havayah) and judgment (Elokim) are recognized as a unified expression of God's love. The shiur identifies the core challenge of how an individual can elevate "holy sovereignty" (malchus) from its state of exile and rectify the spiritual damage caused by sin, which the Rebbe posits is literally engraved upon a person’s bones. To address this, the text highlights the essential practice of verbal confession to a Torah scholar (viduy devarim lifnei talmid chacham), explaining that through the power of speech, one can dismantle the "bad combinations" of letters imprinted by sin and restore the world’s physicality to its divine source. By using the biblical example of Yehuda’s bones being settled through Moshe’s intervention, the shiur illustrates how admitting one’s shortcomings to a Tzaddik allows a person to bridge the gap between exile and redemption, transforming judgment into a visible manifestation of divine kindness.

Eilech V'anaseh — Let me go and try. the lost princess shiur 1 at the sephardic center

May 17, 2026

45:36

Eilech V'anaseh — *Let me go and try.* A new weekly Torah series on the Lost Princess of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, beginning at the Sephardic Center on Avenue P in Brooklyn. With R' Nachman Fried. This is Shiur 1 — the introduction to the story and the series. Rebbe Nachman said his Torah is *kodesh* and his stories are *kodesh kodashim*. The Lost Princess is the first and most relatable of the thirteen stories — the one that maps onto every life. What we cover: • **Why the Rebbe started telling stories** — five years before his passing, the Rebbe said: "I have told you Torah and I see it is not doing what it needs to do." Then he began the stories. *Stories don't put you to sleep — they wake you up.* • **A kabbalistic foundation** — *tzimtzum*, *ohr ein sof*, the ten Sefiros, *Kudsha Brich Hu* and *Shechinah*, the unification of back-to-back becoming *panim b'panim* — face to face. • **The three characters** — The King is HaKadosh Baruch Hu. The viceroy is the tzaddik and the part of *you* that takes responsibility. The bas melech is the neshama — the *chelek Eloka mima'al*, the part of you that came from above. • **The story begins** — six sons and one daughter, the king who loved her most, the moment of anger, and the words that flew. *V'nizraka mipiv dibbur* — and a word slipped from his mouth. The Lost Princess vanishes, and the viceroy stands up. • **"Try your best" / Eilech V'anaseh** — a personal story from my father, a*lav hashalom*, who insisted he be buried under the tree in Tveria. *Try your best.* The words that became the name of our learning group. • **Why *lo tov* and not *ra*** — the Rebbe doesn't say the *bad* should take you. He says *lo tov* — the *not-good*. Because there is no such thing as bad. There is only the absence of good. Even the place that looks beautiful — the ballroom, the music, the festivity — can be *lo tov* when there is no real good inside it. • **The "broiges"** — who got angry first, the king or the daughter? The Rebbe deliberately doesn't say. Because in every close relationship — with self, with others, with Hashem — *broiges* will come. That's part of being in relationship. • **The action plan** — the lost princess is the real you, separated from the performance you have built over decades. Start the work of meeting the inner child, the lowercase-t traumas, the buried feelings. Recognition is the first step home. — 📺 More shiurim: Kollel Toras Chaim on YouTube — @KollelTorasChaim 💬 Join the WhatsApp updates: Kollel Toras Chaim Torah Updates 📍 Live weekly: Sephardic Center, Avenue P, Brooklyn #LostPrincess #RebbeNachman #Breslov #EilechVanaseh #SephardicCenter

the soul knows the way home

May 14, 2026

18:25

**The Recognition** — The viceroy lies in the corner; it is the bas melech who rises and crosses to him. "Do you recognize me?" — and why recognition itself is its own avodah.• **Why the Soul Knows the Way Out** — She is trapped, yet he asks her how to escape. She is the chelek eloka mima'al — the part of you that never forgets the way home.• **The Tzaddik Is Made by Falling** — There is no such thing as a tzaddik who was born finished. What makes a tzaddik is getting up one more time — and taking responsibility for others, the way the viceroy took on the king's pain.• **Fitting Your Life Into Hashem** — We try to fit Hashem into our lives instead of fitting our lives into His. Why the bas melech can never be found in the corners of a schedule built without her.• **The Remedy: Kovea Makom** — Choose yourself a place — and choose the place you are actually in. Modeh Ani as the doorway into five minutes of hisbodedus.• **The Last Day: Don't Fall Asleep** — The last day is Erev Rosh Hashanah; its final minute is the first minute of the new year. The apple, the spiritual slumber, and the cost of checking out when you are closest.• **Amalek Is Safek** — Amalek's gematria is safek. Doubt is the engine of yeush — and the Rebbe's answer: make a tefillah out of the doubt itself.—📺 More shiurim: Kollel Toras Chaim on YouTube — @KollelTorasChaim💬 Join the WhatsApp updates: Kollel Toras Chaim Torah Updates#LostPrincess #RebbeNachman #Breslov #EilechVanaseh #Hisbodedus
