Yaakov Weinrot's Breslov dance parting from this world

HH

Yaakov Weinrot was the attorney of Bibi Netanyahu, he passed away last week. Before he passed away he gave a public address in which he discussed the meaning of life, he sited profusely from all types of philosophers, until he got to tachlis (-end purpose), and discussed some of the foundations of Rabbainu as they are presented in Likutay Moharan (he called the teaching “Torah 64” – the way Breslovers refer to the teachings, as opposed to the unfamiliar who would refer to it as “siman” or the likes. Obviously he was very invested in the study of this holy book). This lecture can be found on the Youtube, from what I understand – by just typing in his first name יעקב, Youtube will already suggest this video, because B”H it went kind of viral, and it has been shared and liked thousands of times on Facebook. Here is a person who merited right before he passed away to greatly sanctify the name of Hashem by revealing Rabbainu to the masses.

Before he launched into the teachings of Rabbainu he made a disclaimer that maybe only 50-60 people really understand Rabbainu and that Breslov is not about dancing in the streets and giving out books. However, from the little synopsis of his lecture which I read, it appears that his conclusion from what he learned from Rabbainu, is that there are no real facts which force and hold a person to any intellectual truth, just, every truth has a melody and poetry which every person sings in their own way, and the main thing is the joy of the melody. [Forgive me if I didn’t capture his point completely, but I’m doing the best I can on the little I have to go on….]. Based on those conclusions, the dancing in the street and distribution of the holy books is the paragon of living the poetic joy of the Torah, and I think it is fair to assert that his opening remarks dissing the commoners of Breslov was just to make the listener feel special that they would be privy to something elite, and also that they shouldn’t feel threatened that they were being lured into something they might look down upon, or maybe they even hold themselves superior to such practices. Ultimately, his speech which he delivered shortly before his passing, when he was already extremely terminally ill, weak and trembling, was his own little dance for Rabbainu. May he merit to sing and dance Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman in heaven with the rest of the righteous.

Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman!
