HH the Talmud (Bava Kama 60) says that calamity doesn't come to the world, except when there are wicked in the world, and it doesn't begin (anywhere) only from the righteous first, as it says "When a fire goes out and finds thorns," when does fire go out? When there thorns are readily found for it, and it only begins, only from the righteous firs, as it says (ibid), "and a heap of produce was consumed," it doesn't say, 'and it (the fire) consumes a heap of produce', rather, "and a heap of produce was consumed," that the heap of produce (alluding to the righteous) was already consumed (-smitten with calamity).

About a month ago a fire consumed the house of our righteous Nanach friend - 46 Forshay Rd., but the wicked did not take heed, and the calamity hit 47 Forshay Rd, may HY heal and save them and everyone.

In recent years the fraudulent rabbis have been promoting a terrible falsehood that one should joyously thank HY for all the hardships - #thankyouHashem. This is against the Torah and is a big chutzpah against G-d. It is true that we must bless HY even for the hardships, and for this we say: Baruch Dayan HuEmess, and we take upon ourselves to have full faith in HY that all is for the best, but we definitely must not rejoice over them. Our Sages revealed that in the future when it will be apparent that all the bad is really for the best, then we will praise HY even for the bad - that is in the future when it will be apparent, until then it is very wrong. It is wrong for many reasons, not just because it is not true, but also because it is mocking Gd. Imagine someone disciplining a child, wishing to hurt the child as least as possible only to impart the lesson, and the child revels in laughter, defeating the whole purpose of the message and incurring the need for much more wrath GF.

Resh Lakish (Megilla 31) says it is forbidden to bless on calamity. Tosfos explains there, because HY is with us in our hardships and therefore it is totally inappropriate to bless HY in such circumstances.
See also Shabbos (118b): Someone who says hallel every day is as if he blasphemes and curses G-d, and Rashi explains because the praises are for special occasions, and by saying them every day he is making a mockery of them, see there. From this we can deduce how much more so the mockery is by thanking for the bad, and this is therefore like blasphemy and cursing G-d, may the Holy Merciful One save us!

One time, when Rabbi Nussun was first drawing close to Rabbainu, and they were eating together at the table, Rabbainu belittled Rabbi Nussun (Yimay Moharnat, end of article 3), and Rabbi Nussun just continued eating, so Rabbainu turned to him again and said "Like that?" - because when one is shamed he stops eating... So Rabbainu said to him, "If it's truly like that I tell you and instruct you, do not eat!" (Siach Sarfay Kodesh 2:684)

People have told me of miraculous salvations that they attribute to praising HY for their suffering, and I have no doubt that any such deliverance is the working of the satan (as explained in Tractate Avoda Zurah 55, that satan runs such schemes of salvations, leading people to believe and follow forbidden practices thinking that they are beneficial GF) who revels in seeing people turn their backs to the truth and the messages of HY, and literally go insane (as explained in the beginning of Likutay Moharan that satan is out to make people literally insane).

So these fraudulent rabbis promote this terrible falsehood of not acknowledging the messages of HY, and promoting abandon free-for-all as if for the sake of Heaven, may HY save us.

The main lesson we should take to heart here, is to strengthen ourselves to spread the holy teachings of Rabbainu, and most important his awesome name Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman which will elevate all of Israel and all that is holy and protect from and destroy and decimate all that is unholy. Perhaps is we would have sent that neighborhood just one holy Nanach book, or even just one Nanach sticker, or if someone would have had the holy brazenness to tag Nanach somewhere in the area, this whole calamity would have been prevented. Take heart and take action!

Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman!

The Last Journey of Dr. Gevald's Nanach Mobile

HH

On Monday September 2, 2012, I set out from the Swan Lake towards Montreal, at exit 30 of the Thruway, I turned off to get gas, because the car was completely empty. There was no gas there, and some guy told me that the nearest gas was exit 31 - 13 miles away. So without a choice I booked over to exit 31 and I arrived at the pump with the last spurt of gas, so I thought I made it - I put in some gas, and resumed the journey, but I didn't make it very far before the transmission wiped out, just as a shoulder appeared on the side of the road. There was a house in the distance, but I was separated by a fenced hill and the Booulet River. So first I hike off in a different direction and I find a camp site with the burial site of "Zack the best dog in the world". Eventually I headed over to the house, which was not inhabited, but there were some people in trailers behind the house. - The cell phone I have didn't have "minutes" and I tried to add minutes but was unable - the whole night I wasn't able - another bad experience with AT&T. As I approached the house I saw a police car pull up to my car - but I was to far to do anything about it, I tried 911 and got cut off. So this older couple in a trailer let me use their phone, but I couldn't call Canada, and everyone I was calling wasn't answering, finally I got ahold of my cousin MW who tried to help but there wasn't much he could do. Meanwhile I also got through to the police and I told them where I was, they told me to return to the car, after making some plans for what would happen, I headed back to the car, about half way there the police drove off, later the officer complained to me that he wasted a half hour waiting there for me. Another officer told me that he saw me praying there - that must have been Mincha which I did as soon as I was stuck on the shoulder. Back in the Nanach mobile I tried playing around with some prayers, and the car actually moved a few feet, but that was it - today the tow truck guy told me that he examined the transmission and it is completely wiped out, he also thinks that the gas wasn't the whole problem, because there were other tragedies going on as evidenced by leakages of oil. Eventually a policeman came and told me that I should never have left the car, especially since it was very dangerous because there are bears and what not out there, obviously he didn't know about G-d or for That matter - Na Nach. The tow truck guy came and I gave him the car in return for the tow - he left me off at the Essex County Correctional Facility right off of exit 32. Cleaning out the Nanach mobile was a lengthy ordeal, and I also salvaged the stereo. The police were not happy with my being there and told me that they wouldn't give me very much time, they didn't want me using their phone so they directed me to a nearby diner - which was closed, and the adjacent gas station didn't have a phone. There was a guy who pulled up for gas - Li'im, he was very nice and he let me use his phone, and I told him about Nanach. Li'im plays the cello. On the phone I got through to Avi in Montreal, but he couldn't get a car. He got busy calling people, but didn't succeed. Then a Jew from Williamsburg driving a van with his whole family pulls up, he's looking for the house of a Rabbi Lifer - it's supposed to be nearby - but he can't find it. So Liim and I keep at it, and then another Jew from Williamsburg or Monroe pulls up - he's a regular at this gas station, he also heard of Lifer but didn't know his whereabouts. Then a lady cop pulls up, and I tell her you probably came for me - that's what I figured because all my stuff was sitting by their station and I had been gone for some time. She said that she had come to show someone where the gas station was, and she asked me if she could help me in any way. So, nothing to lose, I asked her if she knew where Rabbi Lifer's house was. She said sure - there's only one house here and there's a rabbi there - and it's right there.... Liim is really getting a taste of Nanach now! Then the gas station attendant came out to tell us that he's closing soon at 11:00, and he hears what's going on - and he apologizes to me, saying that he didn't know that I was looking for the rabbi - the house is right there, its open 24 hours a day, with coffee and tea, he's excited about this, as are we all - 2 Chasidishe families in their vans, the Korean (?) gas station attendant and Liim... So Liim has to get going, and B"H he'll be following up on Nanach, and the Chasideshe's drive over to the house - where a third family appeared (I don't remember when they made their appearance, it is possible that they had also been with us the gas station), and I got all my bags from the penitentiary (amazing how earlier I had this discussion with someone about things that cause a person to be incarcerated C"V, as posted recently in nanach.net - and how even in today's time this happens to Nanachs - straight up!) and head over to the Hachnasas Orchim, where I am entertaining the families till about 12:30. The house has a phone and (maybe this is a secret so I won't write it.....). That's the wraps on the first part of the story, B"H there will be a very happy Nanach ending which of course will be a beginning.
Great blessings of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!

The epilogue is that the guy helped me find a ride to Montreal (paying the fare - 2 people actually drove right past) and has since been in contact with me and has given me more more money B"H.

Miracle of the holy books in Adumim - the terrorist is neutralized before she can harm anyone!

HH

Two days ago I learned of a "book swap" that is going to take place in Maaleh Adumim tomorrow (Wednesday 11-7-2018). So I contacted the organizer and told her that the Nanach would like to contribute the English Breslov books we have and bring them to her in Adumim - even though I knew that it was Maaleh Adumim but I didn't know how to spell Maaleh in English and I didn't want to even think about it so I just wrote: Adumim, and she was like, "Why would you want to give book away for free?" So I told her that B"H after she reads them she'll be on the same page as us. Anyhow she called them up, and yesterday she wrote back to me that one guy said he couldn't deliver, and gave her the number to someone else who didn't speak English, so it wasn't going to happen. So I wrote back that there is no despair in the world whatsoever and maybe I can get her the books, but it looked pretty bleak. So this morning I went on the whatsapp group and wrote to the Nanach that they should raise 50-100 shekel to deliver the books. And they responded that B"H one of them had already made the special trip to deliver them!

Shortly thereafter we learned in the news that an arab woman terrorist had brought a knife to Adumim to attempt to stab people, may the Holy One Merciful Gd save us, and miraculously the soldiers detected it before she could do any damage and shot her.

Who knows perhaps this was in the merit of the holy awesome books of Rabbainu Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman that we delivered to Maaleh Adumim, and we considered it simply as Adumim, so the Almighty also extended their protection to all of Adumim.

[All of this I wrote extremely succinctly to our new friend in M.A. and she replied that it is in fact a miracle that the books were delivered to her]

Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman!

The Virtue of Saying Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman 41-50

HH

41

Rabbainu Hakadosh reveals to us here that he is the main thing, he reveals this to the whole world, (also) to the Jews and also to gentiles and also to the whole world: “Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman.” And someone who says this, he grasps, he enters the root of the creation, this is the root of the Torah, of the entire creation. “Na Nach,” this is single (pashoot), double (cafool), triple (mishoolush), quadruple (miroovuh), “Na Nach,” and also it has in it ten letters, this is the ten types of melody which he revealed for rectifying the defection of the bris (-circumcision, covenant), ten letters is (-are) ten types of melody and the song which is single (pashoot), double (cafool), triple (mishoolush), quadruple (miroovuh) together, yes.

(Sichos Saba 12:6)

42

Just to mention the name of Rabbainu, “Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman” – this is sufficient! All the cures are here, this is everything. The gentiles will worry, they have what to worry about, but we, we don’t have to worry. “What? Broken? I can fix (him/it) immediately, to make (him/it) new!” (Saba laughs).

(Tape 28b)

43

And now we have already Rabbainu Hakadosh, it has already been revealed in the world that there is Rabbainu Hakadosh, “Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman,” this Rabbainu revealed, he is greater and higher than everything, there has never yet been such a novelty, wonders such as these have never yet been in the world, just now in the time of redemption Rabbainu began to be revealed in the world.

(Tape 44a)

44

[Visitor: If I say, “Na Nach” for him, it is beneficial?] Yes. Just to mention Rabbainu o.b.m.’s name, “Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman,” this is a mitigation, and this (it) heals, and strengthens, and renews the whole world, this is just with one word (/statement)!

(Tape 701a)

45

He should say, “Na Nach,” this is a cure, and atonement, and everything, this is the entire Torah, “Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman,” this is the whole entire Torah, included in this are all the tzadikim and the whole Torah.

(Tape 44a)

46

[Visitor: How many times a day is it necessary to say, “Na Nach”?] Constantly, without end and without bounds, without limit, without end. [All the time?] Yes, “Na Nach” is, it has power, it opens all the gates, all the gates of mercy, all the gates of prayer, all the gates of repentance, all the Torah!

(Tape 75b)

47

And also if there is difficulty giving birth, and there is no choice, then the doctors tell the woman giving birth,  they say (to her) that she should say, “Na Nach,” he repeats this, he teaches them how to say (it). (Saba laughs).

(Sichos Saba 28a)

48

There was a miracle, a gentile woman, a woman went into labor, to give birth, so the child didn’t want to come out, yes, so there was a Jewish woman there, she told her (the woman in labor): “Say ‘Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman’,” and she said it, and immediately the child was born.

(Tape 65b)

49

“Na Nach,” then everything is good, just “Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman,” this is everything, all the Torah, and all of Israel, and everything, all the cures and all the salvations, everything in one word (/statement).

(Tape 77b)

50

[Visitor: But today a Jew on the street who wants to draw close to Rabbainu but doesn’t know a book of the Torah and doesn’t know anything] noo (-Yiddish prompt – so, get to the point) [Is this for him, to draw close to Rabbainu through the mentioning of his name, what is written in the Petek, will this open (things) for him, help him to draw close to the tzadik?]

Yes, yes, yes, (that) he should mention in all times of distress, and at all times, and at every hour: “Na Nach,” (that) he should sing this, and (that) he should be happy! Yes. This is an easy thing, and this is the fundamental of everything, because the main thing is Rabbainu, Rabbi Nachman. “Na Nach Nachma Nachman,” this is “single (pashoot), double (cafool), triple (mishoolush), quadruple (miroovuh),” and this (set of) ten letters is (the embodiment) of the ten types of melodies which he revealed, everything is contingent on this, the entire redemption. Just to say in the morning, “Na Nach,” verbally, “Na Nach,” to sing happily, yes, “Na Nach.” And through this everyone will be drawn to Rabbainu, and this is the main redemption, the main redemption is Rabbainu. This name: “Na Nach,” this is the main redemption, “Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman,” on this is contingent all… the main redemption. And this is propitious (-a segula) for everyone, in general and in particular, everyone should pray and say verbally: “In the merit of, the merit of Rabbainu Hakadosh should protect (over) us and (over) all of Israel, the merit of: ‘Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman’.” Yes.

(Sichos Saba 27)

Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman!

Great Miracles

HH

In Breslov they always said that the greatest miracles Rabbainu performed were his effective endeavors to save the people from the evil inclination and draw them into holiness and proximity to Hashem Yisburach.

Following this train of thought, that which Rabbainu revealed, and is also found in the Talmud, that when a person successfully withstands some se*ual test or trial he will merit to miracles, the biggest miracles that person can merit to is to be saved from the clutches of evil and impurity and draw closer to Hashem Yisburach. This is actually another revelation of Rabbainu, that before any true meaningful ascent one has to traverse through the trappings of the evil (for many different reasons). Thus these two teachings reinforce one another.

The Praises of Rabbi Nachman - part 2 - His Voyage to Israel 21

HH

Shivchay Huran

Part 2

21. And in the morning soldiers called brand vach (- the given translation is that it is something similar to border patrol. Vach is Yiddish for guards (-coast guards?), and brand in Yiddish usually means burning, so perhaps it is an elite, attack, or active division, or perhaps the word is frund, which is like front. Subsequently someone learned in Yiddish has suggested that a brandvach would be a fire brigade to prevent or extinguish fires, this seems the most plausible especially in context) bordered the boat. And Rabbainu o.b.m. and the aforementioned man that was with him wanted yet to come and fall before the feet of the captain and plead to him that he should let them return to the shore. However, in the meantime they weighed anchor, and they fled out of fright in the direction which the wind took them, because the war had aroused promptly and their (-its) hubbub was heard profoundly, and they heard there on the boat the tremendous bellowing of the harmatas (-cannons) and the bombs (-the Ukrainian word is provided here, which is similar enough to the English) and other such noises related to war, because their clamor was heard to a very far distance. And the greatness of the danger, and the fright, and the fear that they had then is immeasurable. And both of them together fell bedridden. And they did not even have water to drink because they did not prepare anything for themselves as mentioned previously. And Hashem, in His abundant mercies and kindnesses gave them favor in the eyes of one Ishmaelite who was the kecher (-cook, in Yiddish) by the captain, and he secretly pilfered and gave them one shawl (-cup  (see commentators on Isaiah 40:12), in Yiddish, especially-) of coffee, for each of them, in the morning and in the evening.

And because of their weakness they were laid up on sickbed may the Merciful One save us, and they did not know for themselves where they were, because they were closed off in their room, bedridden. However, this they heard, that there was a storm wind that carried the boat and/but they did not know to where it had carried them. When they heard that the boat had reached some shore, they went out of the rooms to see the place where they had arrived, and they saw that it was not Istanbul. And they asked the aforementioned Ishmaelite, and he said that this country was called "Adal" (- Asia Minor - Western Turkey, is called Anatolia. One of the largest cities on its southern coast of the Mediterranean is Antalya which was originally  "Attaleia," named after its founder Attalos II, king of Pergamon. This name, still in use in Greek, was later evolved in Turkish as Adalia (-In Megillas Esther 9:8 Adalia is listed as one of the ten sons of Haman) and then Antalya. This is probably the Adal referred to here. It is interesting to note that Rabbainu's grandmother, the daughter of the Baal Shem Tov was named Odel as was Rabbainu's oldest daughter (who was approximately 11 years old then). Adal is also a permutation of A.L.D. one of the 72 Divine Names. See also Bava Basra 16b where adli means progression and lifting).

And they (Rabbainu and his companion) had already heard about their practice, that when a Jew came to their hands, the first "mitzvah" by them is to sacrifice him as an offering, so when they heard that this is Adal, they immediately went to their room, and they closed the door after them, and they hid themselves there. And they were beset with great fear. And the boat stood there for three days, and it was possible (that) the captain intended (- t.n. the original allows for either understanding, i.e. a. The captain in fact had intended to carry out this possibility. B. It is possible that the captain entertained carrying out such a possibility) to stay there longer, but (for) suddenly a storm wind arose, and the ropes of the anchor were severed, and the anchor was left in the sea, and the boat went on its own accord from there. And there was a great shouting there between the Ishmaelites: "haman haman (t.n. the translation supplied here by the publisher is: help help. However the closest similar word in any Turkish dialect that I was able to find was "amra (save, rescue)," which doesn't quite cut it. It is in fact strange that the publisher chose to translate it as such when Rabbi Nussun himself immediately supplied the translation as givald which is not a cry for help, at least not directly. There is a word in some Turkish dialects for "bad" - "aman," with slight variations in other Turkish dialects, and this "bad" could very well be the equivalent of the Yiddish exclamation"givald," and it most resembles the word haman presented here. Before finding this word I came across other possibilities, such as "umun," in the Dolgan and Yakut Turkish Dialects with slight variations in the others, which means to forget, and might therefore also imply to be forgotten, lost, and despair (the word for hope is quite similar - umut), and a third more remote possibility is the Karachi verb for fear (with slight variations in the other dialects) - emen. Being that all these possibilities are the same consonants just with different vowels not even very distinctive, chances are that these words convey and insinuate a little of each), i.e. givald (-a Yiddish exclamation of woe or amazement). And the boat was pitched about frantically in the sea the whole night until daybreak, (and) the storm wind subsided, "And they rejoiced because/when they (-strong winds and waves) abated (Psalms 107:26)." However, it didn't take them to their desired destination (-in contradistinction to the verses of the aforementioned Psalms), rather by the storm wind they returned and came close to Akko by approximately a day's worth of travel.

And afterwards, after midday, their arose again a great storm winds, and it carried the boat. And the boat pitched about frantically and recklessly for many consecutive days and nights, "they rose (to the) heavens (and) descended (to the) depths (Psalms 107:26)," and the masters of the boat did not have any aitzuh (-remedy, recourse) how to escape. "And they were smashed/reeled and staggered like a drunk, all their skills smothered (Psalms 107:27)." And on Thursday at 12 o'clock they started to remove water from the boat, from the third level, with pumps ("plumpin") as boat owners do. And the way they do it is to remove the water for fifteen minutes for every elapse of twenty four hours. But now, when they began to pump, they didn't suffice pumping until night time came, and abundant water accumulated on the boat due to the pumping, and the water went also to their room, of Rabbainu o.b.m., and they were not able to lie on the bed there because the waters had risen there, and Rabbainu was forced to ascend to some higher place to lie down, and the man that was with him ascended to a different place, because they did not want to go out to be seen before the Ishmaelites. And the water on the boat went and became more and more plentiful all the time until the Ishmaelites were compelled to do away with the pumps, and they made a bucket brigade, and they drew the water by hand with large vessels. And the storm went on very fiercely. And from the great intensity of the storm wind the waves rose almost to the heart of the sky, and they were like huge mountains and great valleys. And it was like that the whole night as well.

And when it became daylight, the man that was with him o.b.m. came, and Rabbainu o.b.m. said to him that he has severe weakness of heart from the great fear, "Because I see (-understand) in my heart that I am now in great danger, because this is not a simple matter, even though I do not know what they are doing even still the heart sees." And the aforementioned man negated (to him), and said to him: "Do not fear (-respectful plural) because Baruch Hashem everything is in check."

And the aforementioned men went to look in the hamber (-deck, this word is actually found in the Talmud, Kedushin 70b, however in The Life of Our Leader Rabbi Nachman 221 it says that they prayed in the hamber of the house, and the translation given there is terrace) where they were pumping the water, and he saw that there were already small waves there like on our rivers, because the boat had become laden just with water. Because the method of the boats is to be loaded up with two thirds cargo, and the Ishmaelites had already discarded all the cargo, and the boat remained laden with water alone. And the surplus water in excess of the allotted weight for cargo on the boat, this water they pumped out, and even this they weren't sufficing to pump. It was then that the man saw that it was no longer possible by way of nature to be saved. And he came to the room, and because of the great anguish and fear he was almost not able to speak. And Rabbainu o.b.m. said to him: "What is this? And where is your mouth which said that this isn't anything, and now you yourself are so frightened?!" And he replied, that there is no longer any consideration according to nature to be saved, because the waters are going and accumulating in the boat, and they do not have the ability to pump all of it, because their strength of endurance had deteriorated. Because it was close to twenty four hours that they hadn't eaten, and hadn't drank, and hadn't seen sleep for their eyes.

And the man said to him that he still hadn't prayed. Rabbainu o.b.m. answered him: "You do not need to pray now, just accept the yoke of Heaven with the first verse (-of Shema), and say the first three and last three etc. (-abridgement of the Shemoaneh Esray - eighteen benedictions). And he (Rabbainu) said to him: "Take all the money, to the very last penny, and divide it in two. Half, tie by you on your body, and half, I will tie on my body." 

And the man asked him: "Why (do) this, behold the fish of the sea can swallow us without the money?"

He replied (to him): "Do so as I tell you. Israel was upon (-in) the sea and they didn't drown, whereas we are still in a boat etc.." 

And he did what he did. And he told the man to dress himself, and to gird himself with a belt over his tulep (-fancy overcoat with fine fur on the inside, and the fur rolled over onto the collar), and he did so as well, like someone prepared to embark on a journey.

And the man asked him, and said to him: "I don't even know how to pray even the prayer set/arranged by the Anshay (-men of) Kinnesses Hagedoaluh (-the Great Assembly - that is the standard daily prayers), certainly (not) now at this dire time. But kivoad Torusoa (-he who is honorable by virtue of his Torah) knows how to pray for the general and the particular, why do you (-respectful plural) not pray now?"

And he replied: "That now because of small moachin (-consciousness and acumen) I am distant from Hashem Yisburach. However, my recourse is faithful, because there is no alternative due to the great danger, that we are now in such terrible enormous danger, Hashem Yisburach knows that all the days of my life I never yet would have used the merit of my fathers, just due to necessity I am forced to request from Hashem Yisburach that He do this (-bring salvation) for the sake of the merit of my elder (-great grandfather) Rabbi Yisroel Baal Shem Tov o.b.m. and the merit of my grandmother Odel, and the merit of my grandfather Rabbi Nachman of Hordainke." And more than this he did not make further mention.

And afterwards they saw from a distance the likes of a large very dark cloud, and there fell upon them more great fear, because sometimes when a cloud gathers and connects to all water from the sea, the likes of a valley would be made there (-a waterspout), and when the boat descends there (then) it drowns there. And the remedy for this is to shoot with guns and harmatas (-cannons) like in war, in order to break up the clouds (-there was a commonly held belief among sailors in the 18th and 19th centuries that shooting a broadside cannon volley dispersed waterspouts). But they did not have spare time for this because they needed to pump the water from the boat as mentioned above, and the troubles were pitted against each other like a wasp to a scorpion (c.f. Talmud Chagiga 5a, the treatment for a bee sting is with heat, whereas the treatment for that of a scorpion is with cooling, therefore one who Gf is stung by both will be caught in conflicting troubles partnered against him). However, with the mercy of Hashem, due to the force of the storm wind the boat went with great speed, and the boat flew mamash like an arrow from a bow, and the boat came to that aforementioned place (-the waterspout) where the cloud drinks from. And it was like a gateway there surrounded by mountains, and the boat passed through from there safely.

And in the interim, Hashem enlightened their eyes, and they found the hole through which the water was entering the boat, and they slaughtered a goat, and they took its hide and fixed the boat, and they were saved safely from these great and terrible dangers. And this was on erev (-the day preceding) Shabbos Kodesh (-holy). And they had great happiness, and Rabbainu o.b.m. said then (Psalms 107 which is customarly said before the mincha (afternoon) services preceding Shabbos, this Psalm speaks of the four types of dangers one who is saved from them is required to give special thanks to Hashem, and it details some of the dangers of going out to sea, and how those who do so witness the greatness of Hashem), "Hoadoo (-give gratitude) LaHashem (-to Gd)" with great joy. From there they went by way of very many places. And their eating on the boat was just what the aforementioned kecher (-cook) gave them out of pity from their "magazine," "soochares" (-the Russian word for hardtack - сухарь) and worms were crawling on them. And they would go and beg and stretch out their hands humbly everyday like a pauper in the doorway, and he would give them from these hardtacks, and they ate this alone.

And when they brought to mind that it was close to Passover they had great distress, because they worried what they would do on Passover, because it is impossible to fast all the days of Passover. And after an hour or two they came to a big city which stands on a mountain of stones in the middle of the sea, and the Ishmaelites bought there many fruit, and for them they gave for one thaler many carobs which are called "bucksirin" (-to this day this is a popular name for carobs - bokser, Bocks-horn is the medieval German word for the fruit of the carob tree), approximately a chetvert (-this is a Russian measure (which means a quarter), which is enormous, and impossible to be the referent here even if it was considerably smaller back then it would still not be feasible, unless it is referring to the liquid measure which is approximately 1.537 liters or 93.75 cubic inches. The Hebrew publisher says the weight referred to here is approximately 3 kilograms), and Rabbainu o.b.m. said, "For the time being this is also very good, because it is possible to live the eight days of Passover with Carobs alone, however, if only Hashem Yisburach would merit us to fulfill the mitzvah of eating matzo and four cups (of wine).

24. Also they understood from his words that he spoke with them, that in his youth when he toiled and labored for the service of Hashem, he had many (many) types of mortification, and according to what was heard and understood from his words, (that) he had all types of mortifications that there are in the world, be it rolling in the snow etc. and so forth. And he said, that the mortification of restraining oneself not to scratch himself at all, this is the overly greatest mortification, that is, when a person is being bit (-irritated) by the things found close to his skin, and it is the way of everyone to scratch themselves whenever they feel the biting (-itching); and he accepted this as a mortification, to force himself not to scratch at all, not with his hand and not with his body and not with any limb, and he said, that this is a very great mortification, for the person is inert, and then the biting/itching grows stronger, and he is forbidden to move his hands or any limb, just to feel every bite in his mind, and it is a very great mortification. (And I have already heard this from other people, that this is a very great mortification). And he of blessed memory did everything, all the types of modifications that there are in the world, and everything - with temeemus (wholesomeness, wholeheartedness, simplicity, unfeigned) and truth, until he merited to what he merited, fortunate is he.

Also in the matter of suffering, which befall upon most tzadikim, mamash (-literally) there is not heard and there is not seen a peer of suffering like him, and it is impossible to relate and to explain. And he was full of suffering from inside and out. And in the beginning, before the end of his days, he had enormous and terrible suffering, which has no counterpart suffering in the world. And he related, that his suffering are in his hand (-control); whenever he desires - he accepts them upon himself, and these sufferings come upon him, and when he desires to get rid of them - they depart from upon him (t.n. the Talmud, Bava Metzeyuh 84a relates this of Rabbi Eluzar son of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai). And the enormity of the harshness and the weight of the sufferings was immeasurable.

They said over in his name that he said, that in the hour (-time) that the sufferings come upon him, from the utter magnitude of the superlative pain and very, very excruciating agony, he was just about able to bite a tree with his teeth from the enormous pain (like a person does when he has formidable suffering, that from the sheer enormity of the suffering he gnashes his teeth; and upon him of blessed memory the suffering was so intense and harsh, to the extent that at the time of the suffering he was able to cut through wood with his teeth from the enormous pain). However the greatness and massiveness of the harsh and enormous suffering that he had at the end of his days for three consecutive years, were yet much, much greater and harsher manifold ("double and quadruple"), unfathomable and beyond any reckoning. And a little of this will be explained elsewhere (see The Life of Our Leader Rabbi Nachman, the section addressing his trip to Lemberg and the section of his trip and stay in Uman, and The Days of Our Teacher Rabbi Nussun), if it is Hashem's will, a slight fringe. And there is still a lot more to relate, but we omitted most of it, even of the little that we know, because even this little (that we know) is a lot to tell over, and many folios would be insufficient, and further revelation will be in yet a future time to explain more, with the help of Hashem Yisburach.

25. The general synopsis (is) - that in all matters of holiness and aestheticism, be it with (bodily) desires, or be it with character traits, or be it with matters of exertion and devotions and labor and suffering etc. for His sake blessed He, (with) absolutely everything he was a very wondrous and awesome novelty, and he was divested of all the (bodily) desires and of all vices in the utmost, to the extent that there was no remnants by him of any (bodily) desire or vice, any nuance in the world, and he merited to a very, very awesome level, the pinnacle of heights, and it is impossible to speak at all of the utter magnitude of his superlative stature, because the more one elaborates - he detracts; and everything that we related until now, even though all the aforementioned stories are considered a degradation opposite him, according to the enormous stature that he merited to afterwards, even still we related all of this regarding his devotion and his ways in the days of his childhood, so that we should know and be cognizant of how there is free choice ("bicheeruh chufshees"), and every person can merit, if he wants, to a very superlative level, even though it seems to him that the devotion is difficult and heavy upon him and they do not allow him to enter at all in His devotion blessed He, because the desires and the vices pursue him tremendously, even still he needs to be stubborn in his devotion, and not to pay attention to all of this, because in these stories a smart person will understand from his own reasoning how also on the holy awesome Rebbe za.tza.viku.l. there transpired as well all impediments and the heaviness mentioned above, and he traversed through all this, and even still he merited to break everything, because he truly wanted His devotion blessed He, and he chose life in truth, until he merited what he merited. And he said, that even if he was not from the progeny of the Godly Baal Shem Tov za.tza.viku.l. just even if he was from a lowly family of Israel, he would also have merited to what he merited through the utter power of his devotion and his toil, that he toiled and labored very, very much in His service blessed He.

26. And he had strong grievance on those people who think that the main stature of the tzadik and the attainment he merited is through virtue of their neshama (-soul) alone, because he has a very lofty soul, and he said, that the matter is not so, just what is essential is contingent on good deeds, and exertion, and devotions. And he said explicitly, that every person in the world can merit to an overly lofty level, because the matter is not contingent except on the free choice of the person alone, if he desires to have mercy on himself and to resolve for himself very well what is good before him in truth etc., and everything (is) - according to the abundance of the deed.

27. And therefore even the awesome miracles that we saw from Rabbainu o.b.m., we are not engaged in relating them, because this is not praise of him whatsoever according to his enormous, superlative prominence, we just related what is pertinent to His devotion blessed He, in order to arouse the sagacious who desires the truth, because there is no excuse in the world, and every person can merit to lofty heights, if he goes and conducts in the ways of Rabbainu o.b.m. which are explained here in this book. And the main thing (is) - to be very regular in very copious prayers and supplications, and specifically to speak between oneself and his Creator in the vernacular, to abound in conversation before Him blessed He, to conciliate Him, and to appease Him blessed He, and to beseech before Him that He should draw him close to His devotion in truth. And this note is sufficient for all who desire the truth.

Minor miracle on 10th of Av - electrical fire

HH

Today I got a new table B"H, and I was cleaning it with detergent and water, some of this must of splashed onto the adapter to my little laptop - the little black box, because shortly thereafter while I was working on Azamru, boom - the thing started spewing fire and smoke and snapping and crackling, gevald, until it was done. Amazingly no real damage was done BH! The connection to the box was ruined but my friend was able to tape it back together. The fire is undoubtedly of the Tenth of Av, and the protection was undoubtedly Rabbainu Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman! 

Exodus - the odyssey to freedom reflected in the Stature of Man as it is reflected in the souls of Israel

HH

The Chumash (Book, fifth) of Exodus is called “Shimoas” - “Names,' it lists the names of the Children of Israel and goes on to describe the exodus, the receiving of the Torah, and the building of the Tabernacle. All of these are formation of freedom, and they are all the same aspect, because the Torah which is a composition of the Divine Names of G-d is also a composition of the Names of Israel as we know that every soul has its root in a letter of the Torah, and Hashem's Name is partnered with the name of the tzadik, every Jew being a tzadik. The Tabernacle is also a microcosm of the entire universe, just like the Torah, and just like the stature of man. All the Jews together form the stature of man, and each one by himself is a microcosm of the stature of man, and a Tabernacle for the Shechina, the Divine Presence.

The exodus was replete with awesome miracles, so much so that one loses sight of the main most basic phenomenon that took place. Before the advent of any modern technology, some three million people (-estimated projection based on 600,000 between the ages of 20-60) got up together, synchronized and in congruity, and so they traveled together. This feat isn't even considered and counted as a miracle, it is taken for granted, and even if one would GF deny all the miracles, he would have to acknowledge this unbelievable phenomenon, that an entire nation of three million simply got up and marched together, with no previous practice or training, and waltzed out of Egypt and proceeded in such precise formation, stopping, camping, and starting in congruity.

This is the secret of the stature of man, the true Tabernacle for the Shechina, as mentioned above, so that each and every person has their own exact position, and when the true leader, the true tzadik of Israel rules, he is the daas (holy realization of knowledge) of Israel, and he brings the spirit of prophecy to each soul in the way particular to that soul in its position. And thus the very formation of the camps of Israel was a vessel for the Divine Presence.

In the future we will once again merit to remove the heart of stone <lev hu-evven> and Hashem Yisburach will give us a heart of flesh <lev busar>, Rabbainu said that this is an indication that in the future everyone will be Breslov, because the medrash says that “lev busar” is like “lev boasair” - a heart that despises what is not congenial to its own indigenous root and position, “lev boasair” is the same letters as BRESLOV. And so in the future, under the auspices of the holy spirit of Rabbainu, every soul will automatically be comfortable only in its own unique position (see elsewhere where it is explained that the answer to racism is not interracial mixing to wipe out the distinction, on the contrary that would be destroying the importance and role of each race, rather it is the realization and the maximizing of the potential of each entity in its true indigenous place and function, and thus each entity is equal in completing the final construct), and everyone will fall in place, and the stature of man, the form of the camps of Israel, the form of the Tabernacle will automatically be built and take shape.

Stories of Saba Yisroel and R' Yisroel Karduner as heard from Morris Sasson

HH

Last night by Rachel wife of Rabbi Akiva (or according to many it is just a money scam) we merited to make a huge barbecue - in honor of the hilula of R' Yisroel Karduner (/Czek-happy, Halpern, Breslover) with the Nanach, and Morris recounted many awesome things he heard and saw by Saba Yisroel.

Here I am jotting down from memory as fast as I can, and I do not claim complete accuracy.

Morris n"y who was married to the granddaughter of the Baba Sali, met Saba Yisroel right after Morris had visited a certain false messiah in the U.S.. Saba asked him why he went - and he told Saba that he believes there is a Tzadik Yesod Oalum and he is in search, so Saba asked him why he didn't settle for that fraud or his wife's grandfather, and he told Saba that they are cute and sweet, but he can't seem them as being the Tzaddik, and that they didn't effect any good change in him, and they had similar conversations, with Saba playing "dumb", and Saba also warned Meir Yimini not to let Morris hear from him any derogatory talk about the fraudulent rabbis, lest he get turned off. But eventually Morris did hear from Meir Yimini a very strong epithet against one of them (I think the false messiah...) and Morris was astounded and challenged him, and Meir defended himself saying that Saba himself had said this, so Morris confronted Saba, and Saba asked him where in the world he had heard such a thing, so M. told him that Meir had said it in Saba's name, so Saba said, nu, nu....

Morris said more of his story of how he got close to Saba, but I won't go there now.

Saba said that R' Yisroel Karduner was always praying, even when he was tying his shoes (-This is actually a praise give to Rabbainu, whose lips were always seen moving in prayer, in contradistinction to the Litvaks who would opt to always be saying Torah. Today obviously the highest would be, to be always be singing Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!).

He recounted the story of how R' Yisroel Karduner's prayers saved the son of Saba's fried who was shot by thieves and the bullet lodged in his brain, and the doctors (in Egypt I think he said they brought him, there were still no real hospitals in Israel then) obviously said there was no hope, and the guy lived for like forty years after, till he died of old age with the bullet in his brain....

Saba's wife got extremely sick (when he was in his early twenties) and she was already put in a ward of those dying, and besides for being very worried about losing her, he was petrified that he would lose R' Yisroel Karduner, who was adamant that one must be married in order to properly serve and be loyal to HY (may He have mercy on me ...), and without Saba's wife he would not be willing to serve HY with him. In any event, R' Yisroel told Saba to come with him to the hospital with a blanket, and he told Saba to wrap her up and hide her and steal her out, and so they spirited her out and away from Satan's death factory, and she recovered completely and lived a long life.

R' Mottelle Slunimer - the Da-yun (Judge) of Tiberius who later became the Admur of Slunim, and who was one of Saba's earlier mentors and supporters, once spoke strongly against R' Yisroel Karduner, and because of this one of his daughters ran away to Russia and married a leading communist, and I think she might have also converted... R' Mottel acknowledged this and had strong regrets - too little too late.

Saba heard the chevra (probably Meir Yimini, Patz, Sharon) talking about a certain false messiah, and he walked in and asked them who they were speaking about, and he told them that he never wants to hear that name - that person is responsible for the murder of 6 million Jews (-because he caused the concealment of Rabbainu).

Saba extolled R' Yisroel Karduner at great length. Morris once told Saba that he (M.) knows a tzaddik that merited to even much more than R' Yisroel Karduner, but couldn't say who, it is a very big secret but he is forbidden to divulge (-imitating what Saba would always tell them - for the sake of fun), so Saba told him, "Nu, I give you permission" so Morris said that it was Saba, who received double - "pey shna'yim" (as explained in Likutay Moharan that a disciple can merit to this), and after a little give and take, Saba admitted that he merited.

Morris told Saba that he has another very big secret, and Saba said, Nu, and Morris told Saba, that all the amazing things that Saba would recount of R' Yisroel Karduner, he was in reality talking of himself....

R' Yisroel Karduner would always tell Saba, wait here for a bit I need to go somewhere- do something - and he would disappear for even an hour or two. Finally Saba decided to see where R' Yisroel went - and he saw that R' Yisroel would be doing hisbodidus...

Morris once made a special unique Talis - ordering the actual cloth from (I forgot- some country in Europe) and the fringes from a different country, and tichailes, and went all out, it took like 8 months to make. And he brought the masterpiece as a gift to Saba, and Saba praised it and put it on, saying that even though he himself was accustomed to a thinner (-I think) Talis, it was really beautiful, and had obvious enjoyment. A few days later Morris discovered Lazer Lawrence (-of all people...) wrapped up praying in the Talis, and he was very upset at him, but Lazer said that Saba had given it to him. So M. confronted Saba, and Saba affirmed that he had given it to Lazer, so Morris asked him how could you... and Saba saw that it was a big thing, so Saba did his best to appease him, and he explained to him how Lazer was always saying how he had nothing etc. etc. and eventually Saba said he would make it up to him, and offered him him one of his bekishes (long jacket) - and Morris said that he had given the talis with no motive of getting anything in return, but Saba said even still, so Morris said that he doesn't wear a bekishe, but he could wear it on Shabbos, and Sabba said yes wear it for Shabbos.

Saba once saw a Sephardic Jew praying (maybe by Rashbi) intently with tears, without any prayerbook, so Saba gave him his own Likutay Tefilos that was a collectors item....

In America Saba told Morris to find a Jew named Berger, no more info, so there were three in the phonebook, Saba went with him to the house, he wasn't home, he was supposed to come in twenty minutes, Saba took him to hide on the side, and told Morris, that when he comes, jump him! Morris said, why not first talk.... Finally a guy came Morris asked him if he was Berger, when he said yes he called Saba out, and M. gripped Bergers hand, and Saba demanded from Berger to give him back the Legendary Tales which had been the personal copy of R' Yisroel Karduner, Berger claimed that he didn't have it anymore. Saba said that if he didn't get back in a few days, Berger and his wife would die before the weeks end. And so Berger and his wife came to Saba and returned the book.

Saba told M. to take the two strong guys with him to the elders of Breslov and beat them until they gave back the manuscripts that they had stolen and kept in their possession. They went, the elders denied having them, and they couldn't bring themselves to beat such old people.

Saba also wanted them to go to Berger and take back all that didn't belong to him. When Berger died a few years ago, he left the books to a library (i think), but the family didn't honor the will, and they held on to the Breslov books (-including Rabbi Naftoli's The Life of Rabbi Nachman), and today they let people see them - but they must swear with the name of G-d that they will not divulge what they see. The Israeli professor Tzvi Marks, might even have copies of the stuff, but since he took the oath he will not share the information.

That's most of what I remember in this sitting.

Saba Yisroel and Meir Maimoni

HH
Now he is a Rosh Kollel in Chatzor (a town near Tzfas), he was frequently by Saba, he would often come with Shemmer (the guy who wrote the books for Uz - zugdon, and BH broke off from this cult leader), and Saba would laugh on their arrival.
Saba revealed to him his previous gilgul as a rabbi in Safed, and possibly even his exact burial spot.
Once he came to Saba wearing a brand new jacket and Saba kept praising it, which was very strange and out of character, so Meir offered it to Saba, and Saba accepted it.
Later when he got home he discovered that at the very time Saba was coming on to his to new jacket, his infant son starting choking on a toy - a chain of plastic fruit, and when he gave the jacket to Saba, the toy dislodged from his throat, and he was saved. When Meir returned to Saba he found his new jacket disregarded.

Meir also heard from Saba who said of himself that he extracted himself from the maitzach (forehead- point of brazenness) of the nachash (snake).

Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me'Uman

רבינו הקדוש כותב עלי ישראל בער האש שלי תוקד עד ביאת המשיח

HH GIVALD song, music by Raanan Nachal n"y. My fire will burn till the coming of Messiah! Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!

At the beginning of this video I put a short video of a little fire which raged on the windowsill of the room adjacent to the holy tomb of Rabbi Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman - the fire started by a few little candles which are sold right there in the container and are lit in memory of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, at the time I was standing in the room of the tomb speaking to Peretz Krohn - the Principal and Executive Director of the Jewish Day Schools in Uman, and while I was speaking to him I observed - looking over his shoulder - the fire growing larger and larger until it caught peoples attention, at which point I joined the excitement and filmed the little clip. Later in the day I was approached by Feux who had heard that I filmed the fire and he asked me if he could get the clip from me so that he could put it up on the social media which he promotes with little news tidbits from Uman. So I thought it over and figured that I was only interested in spreading Nanach and for that I can use this clip in a Nanach video, and let my friend capitalize on it's sensational news worth. So I told Feux I'd be happy to give him the clip, just one catch, my phone was about dead - the battery was like at 4% and the phone was broken so that it couldn't recharge, I had already bought a brand new charger for it, to no avail, and I had already bought a new phone that a friend was bringing me to replace this one - so that I could send this phone to get fixed. Feux was unfazed and said that it was no problem, and he takes out of his pocket a samsung power bank, and said he'll just charge up my phone with this. So I smile at him, and explain to him very patiently that the phone won't charge, it's busted and it's about to be sent for repair. Feux however is still unfazed, and says that this is the real thing - a real samsung charger and it will work! So, I smile at him benignly, not thinking for a second that he wasn't completely wasting his time, and offered him my phone, "be my guest... good luck..." - so he plugs my phone in, and bingo, its charging beautifully! In one second it became clear that the chargers I had been using were garbage, and all I had to do was get a decent new charger. And thus the fire of Rabbainu saved me tremendous hassle, the ordeal of buying a new cheap temporary phone which I would be stuck with, getting my phone to the repair, getting it back, and the whole shabang... and this little fire of Rabbainu saved me all that money and trouble... Yishtabach shimo lu-ad!

Double or Nothing - all in!

HH

Everything in this world is just a hint to what goes on in the real reality. In this vein I think that Rabbainu's approach to beseeching Hashem is like those that put all their chips in, and bet double or nothing. Even though the reality is that nothing will be lost, for someone who throws himself before Hashem Yisburach will certainly not lose whatsoever, however the person is tested and feels as if he is endangering everything he attained till then, and in fact Rabbainu explains, and this explained also by the Sulam, that the ability that many of the fraudulent rabbis have to perform miracles is garnished from their stagnation on the same level, I explain this elsewhere B"H, what is relevant here is that there is a certain element of gamble and loss when a person completely throws himself at Hashem begging to really know Him.

Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!

Open Sesame overtaken by Rabbi Na Nach

HH
Y.A. n"y named after his famous grandfather the renown kabalist author of the Sulam, has yearned for many years to come to the holy tomb of Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me'Uman, but the Zionist regime imposed restrictions on him leaving him as a captive in the holy land. This year a lawery told him that to even think of gaining allowance to leave for a few days would entail putting $10000 on the table, procuring guarantors, and who knows what else. But our dear friend has been actively doing hisbodidus on this every day for 4.5 years, and he couldn't hold back. He bought a ticket and went to the airport. By the border control he put his palm in the machine and it refused to acknowledge him, he tried time and time again with no success. So finally he screamed, "Rabbainu I'm coming to you, open up the way!" This time the machine gave him passage, and BH he's sitting right here with me by the holy tomb.

Miracles of the Nanach Political Party

HH

When the Nanach went to register the party in the Knesset last week, they went early, but the Knesset didn't allow them in saying that they should come back tomorrow. This was because they wanted to facilitate Cachalon to register first (because he was taking the name of the Nanach party "Kulunu"). So the Nanach were about to give up. Then they get a call from Sharon that Nachman Yitzchok is on the way and they should get his documents, so Moshe Ofir went out and he was blowing his bubbles and all the press jumped on the action and he entertained them. In the meantime this served as a huge diversion, as Maor went and got the documents and entered the Knesset passing the entry point where it is forbidden to be simply removed... The security was pretty upset (they were overheard on their radios - "two in pajamas going up..."), they kicked out Moshe Ofir completely and Nachman Yitzchok remained outside, but Maor remained on the IN, and registered the party!!! With the amazing video that I already posted here! Only afterwards Cachalon showed up, too late...

Na Nach  Nachma Nachman MeUman!!!

Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the land (Isiah 43:6 - Likutay Moharan Torah 30)

HH

This verse is brought down and expanded upon by Rabbainu in the Torah that I was learning, so no surprise when in the early evening a car pulls up all the way to my somewhat remote humble Azamra Nanach Shtiebel, and a couple with their child come searching for someone who can speak to them in English and tell them about Rabbi Nachman.

Can't take responsibility for complete accuracy and also I have to be brief B"H you should merit to hear the full amazing version.

The father is a chemical engineer who became an attorney, and they knew about nothing more than the fact that they are Jewish. They were living first in Brooklyn where a neighbor with a very large family was moving to Israel and gave the mother a box full of volumes of the holy Zohar, he told her that he discerned that she was special so he was leaving these holy books for her, and even though she couldn't read Hebrew she should spend time just gazing at the holy pages. She took him up on it. The  next year their daughter was born --- 14 years ago.

The mother (who is a direct descendant of the Noda BiYihuda, which she told when she was blown away when off the cuff I recounted Rabbainu's parable about the treasure under the bridge, and for some reason I added that the bridge was in Prague -- they had just been there, and now they found the treasure here NNNNM!!!) at one point began reading the Torah in English and the Zohar in English everynight at midnight. Once about 6 years ago while reading she reached out in heartfelt prayer to the Shechina and was answered personally, part of what she was told was to read the holy Zohar.

About 3 years ago the daughter started being visited in her dreams by a holy rabbi who identified himself as the dancing rabbi! The Rabbi told her that she should dance and do somersaults. The Rabbi also told her that she should go and live in Israel. Specifically the Rabbi came to her in her dreams on her birthday 3 years ago, and on every birthday since. So the girl persuaded her parents and they came to Israel for a month or 6 weeks. They were mainly in Jerusalem and it was uneventful. The next year they came again after the girls birthday and at the end of the visit they were on their way to tsfat, made a wrong turn and ended up at Rashbi. There someone told them that the dancing Rabbi was probably Saba Yisroel, and told them that the next time they came they should go to Tiveria (I didn't understand this guys idea, there are much more Nanach in Meron.... and where exactly in Tiveria will they meet up with the Nanach?). So this time around they came straight to Tiveria and had some Divine help finding and renting an apartment (when they thought they might have to pay $300 a night for a hotel), and they were here for 3 weeks.

Last night they came to holy tomb of Rabbi Akiva and the Ramchal and someone pointed them to my direction knowing that I speak English.

B"H we spoke for about 2 hours, they were completely amazed how so much of what they had so desperately wanted to know is in fact very readily available, except Rabbainu's way is that a person has to first get past all types of impediments and darkness.

B"H this is just the very beginning of the story.

Great blessings of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!

Bounty in Uman

BH this week Gilad fired all the Ukrainian women who baked and cooked for him, he couldn't deal with their stealing. So HY sent the pilgrims here food in other ways. E.g. one person came to give thanks for a miracle Rabbi Nachman had done for them - after having all but given up on finding a mate, she or he came to the holy tomb and a few months later was on the way to getting married - so they put down some food here. Another guy came with twin girls 5 years old, they were born miraculously after being childless for a few years and having went through all the types of fertility treatments they had given up. They made a short visit at the holy tomb of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman - they arrived exhausted, so they prayed a bit and went to their lodgings to sleep and continue to pray afterwards. The women had an apparition (the whole thing is printed out here) and very excited they returned immediately to the holy tomb to pray intensely. Shortly afterwards they returned to the holy land and immediately were contacted by someone with some sort of treatment they had not yet tried, even though they were tired from the trip, they immediately took the procedure, and had the twins.

מעשה שהעבירו את בית הכנסת מחו"ל לצפת

ב"ה כדאי לבדוק את זה הסיפור, שהר"י אבוהב בעל מנורת המאור, בא בחלום לבנו ואמר שיש מורת רוח בשמים מה שהתפילות עולים ביחד עם עשן של בית ע"ז שלידו, אז מה לעשות? הוא נתן לבנו סדר הקפות שיקיפו את הבית הכנסת כל הלילה באופן מסויים. למחרת - - בארץ ישראל היה שלג חזק מאד (אולי כמו שהיה עכשיו) ולאחר שאנשים הצליחו לצאת ראו שעומד שם בית הכנסת של האבוהב.

 

נו אז מה עם הציון הקדוש של רבינו נ נח נחמ נחמן מאומן?!?!?

סיפור נס הפתק בזמנינו

ב"ה --- סיפר לי ידידנו ישראל ברזל נ"י שלאחר שהוא ניצל ופירש משובו, ולמרות שהיה חבר טוב של מאיר ימיני ז"ל, עם כל זה היה לו עדיין בלבולים על אמיתת הפתק. אז הוא ניגש לציון הקדוש של רבינו באומן, וביקש מרבינו לאמת לו אם הפתק באמת נכון. אז הוא פתח חומש - בול להפסוק והמכתב מכתב אלהים הוא!!!!

Great blessings of Na Nach Nachmu Nachman Meuman!
