Watch your face

HH Rabbainu revealed that when a person studies halacha from someone he begins to resemble that person, to the extent that it is possible to discern who his rabbi is.
This Shabbos I had to look up a halacha (on Shabbos I don't use google) and I saw a halacha brought down from one of the execrable fraudulent rabbis, shortly afterwards, a little kid tells me that I look like that rabbi GF.
May HY merit us to only learn from holy sources.

Genius of the Moment

HH

Sometimes genius is the ability to attain perfection, more often it is the ability to see the perfection in the imperfect. That translates sometimes into the simple understanding that sometimes the best option - the perfect solution - is to settle for the imperfect and continue.

Rabbi Nussun was a tremendous genius, but before he met Rabbi Nachman this itself worked against him, all his inadequacies ate at him and destabilized him, to the extent that he lost his drive to really prevail in Torah study.

Rabbainu instilled and imbued in him what an awesome privilege, achievement, and delight even one solitary gleaning of Torah is, and from then on Rabbi Nussun's diligence was set, he returned to studying passionately guarding and taking advantage every second, even on his travels - an extremely taxing affair in those days. He found an attainable perfection in the moment before him.

Women Contested

HH

The Netziv's (Founder and Rosh Yeshiva of the Volozhin, the first modern Yeshiva) wife was very learned and extremely proficient in Tanach (written Torah). Once she heard a simple uneducated man saying the blessing “that He did not make me a woman” with extreme fervor. She was aghast. What was this man so excited about, she herself knew more than this man knew. She confronted her husband who pacified her by saying that every male makes the blessing in relation to the females that correlate to him. The question is whether this is a true answer or just a placation. For the simple meaning of this prayer is that the male has the full 613 commandments and is the main player in the Supernal image.

In the Yeshiva world the story is told that a Yeshiva Bochur took out a BJJ (Beis Yakov of Yerushalayim) girl out on a date – to the lobby of a hotel (terrible custom of the litvaks), upon seeing the boozing of some of the clientele the boy exclaimed, B”H that He didn't make me a gentile. The girl spoke up and said, that Rebetzin Davis (the infamous head mistress of BJJ) had taught them, that when they make the daily morning blessing, “that He has not made me a gentile”, they should not think of a fall out or an ordinary gentile, but even the president, for it is such a blessing to be Jew. So the Yeshiva boy replied, that when he makes his daily morning blessing, “that He has not made me a woman”, he doesn't simply refer to any woman, but even Rebetzin Davis.

So the question is whether this goes against the above placation the Netziv gave his wife, or maybe Rebetzin Davis really isn't on par even with a Yeshiva Bochur.

All of this should be taken with good humor, I mean no respect to any gentile or woman, certainly not those that are better than I....

According to the Kabbala in the future the woman's status is higher than the man's, the woman will be the true “Woman of Valor” of which the verse (Proverbs) says, “A woman of valor is the crown of her husband”, the crown being higher. The Ramchal explains this quite beautifully but it is difficult for me to bring his words here. If this is the case how can it be that the woman has less commandments, which are seeming indications of higher responsibility?

Today it occurred to me that maybe this is an aspect of what the Ramchal revealed that originally Adam had only one commandment, and when he didn't keep it, there where additional commandments – the 7 mitzvos of the Ben Noach, and when Noach took drugs and all in all did not bring the desired rectification to the world, Hashem indoctrinated the requirement of the 613 mitzvos. Rabbi Nachman also points out that it was only due to transgressions that there was a proliferation of instructions (See Tractate Nedarim 22b, The Life Of Rabbi Nachman item #202 - His trip to Israel item #18).

From here it is possible to say, that in the end of time when all the sins and shortcomings of man will be rectified, the woman's fewer obligations will no longer be a sign of less responsibility, but a sign of superior connection to HY.

Keep in mind that Rabbi Nachman revealed that prayer – which is the aspect of the female – is much more important than learning Torah – the aspect of the male. Rabbi Nachman was ushering in the future time.

Shukelling -- שוקולים

HH
When people pray and study the holy Torah their bodies sway back and forth (shuckle), the holy books say this is an expression of their souls which are like flames that jump around. Their is a deeper secret, these people are having se* with G-d.

Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!

ב"ה המתפללים והלומדים את התורה הקדושה גופותיהם מתנועעים, וכתוב בספרים הקדושים זה תוצאת נשמותיהם כמו אש ולהבה שקופצת מפה לשם. ויש סוד יותר עמוק, הם מזדווגים עם השם יתברך.

Nanach: The Pillar Of Royalty

Duvid Hamelech brought us Tehilim. Tehilim were part of Klal Yisroel way before Duvid Hamelech, except Duvid Hamelech being the King of Israel with all eyes on him, with a complete solid powerful nation behind him and everyone looking up to him, really made Tehilim a recognized fundamental avoda (they did not know at the time that Tehilim is gematria Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman, that was revealed thousands of years later by a great descendant of Duvid Hamelech, Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman, himself!). Duvid Hamelech, whom the Zohar and Gemura state merited that the halacha is always like him, and who revealed the inner core understanding of the discussions of the sages (גלי מסכתא), dedicated his time primarily to hisbodudus, conversing with his soul and heart - speaking to G-d Almighty. The leading Rabbi's of the time were very disturbed by this, for they understood that the whole nation emulated Duvid Hamelech, and they feared that the people would begin to follow the ways of their King, and start dedicating their time and efforts to connecting with the One Holy and Blessed is He, and thereby forgo the primary attention to the study of the Holy Tora. Duvid Hamelech attributed all his success and his very life; the beating of his heart and coursing of his blood, his triumph's over his internal and external enemies, and everything in the whole creation, to his conversations with G-d, Duvid Hamelech viewed the Tora, as G-d's word answering him and speaking to him guiding him and leading him to closer intimacy. The Rabbi's, especially Achitophel and Mipheeboshes, felt that it was very dangerous for the people to actually study the holy Tora in such a personal way, they had achieved great levels of knowledge and glory by enslaving themselves (and as the talmud says regarding one of these sages, he would hold himself back from going to the bathroom (thus of course contaminating and distorting the holy lessons he was learning) to Talmudic style of pilpul, mastering it (to the extant that they could choose whether to consider something pure or impure, kosher or treiph, and prove whichever side they desired). They wanted to make sure that the Jewish Nation would follow their servitude and reject the Pure Holy Devotion of Dovid Hamelech, where one forms a personal relationship with the One who loves him unconditionaly. In order to achieve their goals, the sages began to publicly embarrass Duvid Hamelech. Whenever Duvid Hamelech would come the Beis Hamedrash (study hall) they would make fun of his ways, saying how can one know the Tora if he 'wastes' so much time outside the Beis Medrash (in truth it does waste the time, allowing one to elevated himself above time). So the sages would tear apart everything Duvid Hamelech would say, mocking him and his learning. The sages searched for any way they could undermine Duvid Hamelech and his holy ways of devotion. When Duvid Hamelech sinned with Bat Sheva, a sin the Talmud says can barely be considered as a sin, only so much as it was necessary for Duvid Hamelech to show and reveal a new amazing way of serving G-d even for a sinner, a way of repentance very precious to G-d. The sages however pounced at the opportunity to publicly condemn Duvid Hamelech, stating that he was an evil sinner G-d forbid. To this day, especially the gentiles speak of Duvid Hamelech (even on his holy tomb) disrespectfully because of those sages. [The Meshech Chuchma says that if not for those sages no one would even have know anything about what had happened, thus taking out the main brunt of what had done, but those rabbis were michallel hashem, desecrated G-d's name by publicizing their version of what had happened]. The fact remains, that the Written Torah, the Zohar and the Talmud all proclaim the righteousness and correctness of Duvid Hamelech, and completely vilify the sages who opposed him.
So let us examine how Duvid Hamelech promoted his true way of devotion. It could not be in promoted in debates conducted in the Beis Medrash, for the Rabbi's there were not interested in the truth, on the contrary they were just looking to ridicule anything Duvid Hamelech said. Duvid Hamelech's main claim and promotion is delivered in the Tehilim where he beseeches: טעמו וראו כי טוב, taste it and you'll see that it's good. He didn't fight or argue, he just proclaimed that the truth is self evidence, and that anyone that begins to follow the correct path till know for himself it's validity. Lies and falsehood do not have endurance, but the truth is enduring, it is the signature of G-d. Yaakov Uvinu is the representation of truth, he is called תמים, which has the same numrerical value as Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman. His countenance is engraved on the Merkava.
Rabbi Nachman, a great descendant of Duvid Hamelech, and the Father of the Mushiach (as R"N said that Mushiach will born from his posterity), also endured the hardships and travails of Duvid Hamelech. Rabbi Nachman showed and proved to the world that it is necessary for us to follow a new way of devotion to G-d, a way that is entirely new, yet in fact the old way. A way that is new to us every day, and hopefully every minute and second. This is a way that is so true and so real that it unites a person to G-d exactly in his or her juxtaposition at any given moment. Understandably all the opposition that G-d included in creation are threatened by such true devotion, and in fact they become part of the devotion, as taught by Our Master Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman.
Duvid Hamelech lives forever, he is the crowned and anointed one of G-d, he wanted everyone in Israel to be a king over themselves. G-d created man in His image, that is that man has free choice to do as he pleases, good or bad. The True leaders of Klal Yisroel, emulated G-d, and taught and let Klal Yisroel in His way. Thus probable the primary teaching of Rabbi Nachman the Main Leader of Klal Yisroel, is that a person must do hisbodudus and make his own personal connection to G-d, a person must seek G-d and the answers to all his questions and quests, on his own!!!! Hashem Yisborach and The Tzadik are most definitely there for you, but they wish you to develop more responsibility, personality, and character, not to unload it under the guise of spiritual sacrifice. People want a living Rabbi, they hire him for x amount of dollars and x amount of honor etc. and in return the Rabbi approves of their pitiful society and answers all their responsibility questions. If people wanted a Rabbi who would give them more responsibility from them and demand from them to arise from society and dedicate themselves completely to the worship of G-d, G-d would send them hidden tzadikim to guide them, just as H"Y sent R' Yisroel Karduner to the Saba.
Rabbi Nachman said clearly, that even in his thing there would arise fake rabbi's. Until this generation no one every was able to pull off such a craziness, to put himself in Rabbi Nachman's place.
There is a story, I think I saw it in ShiAyris Yitzchok, a Jew walked into a Breslov shteibel in Poland, he walked over to one of the holy mispallelim and told him that he was a transgressor who even was violating Shabbos, and now he wanted to repent and was seeking guidance. Imagine someone approaching one of the 'gedolim' with such a request, they would know exactly what to do. This holy Breslover chasid replied that he really had no clue, he was not after all blessed like Rabbi Nachman with the ability to see the man's soul, therefore all that he could advise was for the transgressor to begin following the doctrines of Rabbi Nachman, to discuss his situation alone with G-d and to see how G-d would direct him. Not one person in the shteibel had any other advise, and there were people there who probably could see souls, people who truly were the leaders of the generation, following Rabbi Nachmans ways with complete misiras nefesh, often starving and enduring ridicule and embarrassment hard for us to fathom. They knew that for a person to get on the right track, the person would have to follow Rabbi Nachman and follow it in the way the person understood it for himself.
In our generation we have seen the fulfillment of Rabbi Nachmans warning, as students of the weaker Mesora's of Breslov (elsewhere we have explained the three main mesorahs of Breslov, the primary one being that of the Saba, from R' Yisroel Karduner, from R' Moshe Breslevor, from R' Nussun), one after the other started their own 'breslov' cults. One of my friends got sucked into one such cult, their leader, although professing to be the tzadik of the generation does not even arise for Chatzos (this Shikker is unwilling to go to sleep the first part of the night so he stays up the whole night and goes too sleep around Netz!) one of the most fundamental concerns of a true Breslover Chasid. In any event my friend oggles to me how every day he feels completely new etc.. So I ask him if he's getting up every night for chatzos, and he says that he's not yet holding there, so I tell him how can you truthfully say that your life is so excitingly refreshing when you don't even anticipate the next day by arising to start it at chatzos?! This is but an example of the shekker - falsehood - that is self evident.
These fake rabbis are inhibiting Klal yisroel from achieving their unique status, that each and every one is unique and precious in their own way. In Likutay Moharan we learn that it is often not so much the fault of the rabbi, for they have such a powerful urge and lust for power they practically have no free choice. It is the fault of the people that give them the power. The Saba said, we do not need the Rabbis the people will choose. In our day people are starting to learn and seek their independence, they have lost a lot of the fear of standing out and being different, and have gained a strong desire to be themselves. People are searching for Nanach!!!
The Nanach is completely independent and free to serve G-d how he\she understand for themselves. The word anarchy, is composed of a prefix an, which means no, and arch, meaning king - no king, but in our case we translate the prefix as ani- I, thus stating that the new Jewish Anarchy gives each and every one of us the status of King! That is what real Breslov is about, and anyone that comes to power as a Nanach, knows for himself that this is what G-d had intended for his holy children!
