Tribute to my younger sister


HH

Today my younger sister S.A.G. is marrying off her oldest daughter. So this is a little tribute to her, something I never shared, I don’t think.
When we were children, maybe I was ten or younger, and she is two years younger than I, and that was at an age when two years makes a world of difference, my mother asked me to try to move the washing machine for her, and I had no interest at all in exerting myself, and I just shrugged it off telling her that it was much to heavy for me. So my mother then asked my younger sister, or maybe it was on sister’s own accord, she jumped into action, and attacked the machine wrestling with it, until she actually wriggled it here and there, I don’t remember if it was enough, what was needed, but it was a big indelible life lesson for me, seeing my younger sister not only rise to the task and outperform me, but actually successfully do what was expected to be kind of above her ability.

So like it or not she definitely has some share in all the Nanach I merited to spread, and may HY and Rabbainu have mercy on her and her family and merit them to follow the holy ways of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman.

Nanach on the Torah - Parshas VaYairuh - This weeks Torah Portion - References to all the original teachings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov and his students


Torah Portion of Va-yairu – פרשת וירא – And (Hashem) appeared (to Abraham)



18:1 וַיֵּרָא אֵלָיו ה' בְּאֵלֹנֵי מַמְרֵא וְהוּא יֹשֵׁב פֶּתַח הָאֹהֶל כְּחֹם הַיּוֹם: And Hashem appeared to him (-Abraham) in Ailoanay (-plains of) Mamray and he was sitting at the entrance of the tent in the heat of the day.


Whoever has mercy on himself, even when the evil realm overwhelms him and seeks to cast him away, he will not relent and will continue to situate himself at the entrance of holiness until he is given to enter


Likutay Halachos, Laws of Eeshoos (matrimony) 4:19



18:5 וְאֶקְחָה פַת לֶחֶם וְסַעֲדוּ לִבְּכֶם: And I will take a loaf of bread and feast your hearts.


Father Abraham gave them to eat in order that the angels should see what a person contends with in this world, and thus they will not have an opening to litigate against him receiving the Torah


Likutay Halachos, Laws of Breaking Bread 5:49



18:19 כִּי יְדַעְתִּיו לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר יְצַוֶּה אֶת בָּנָיו וגומר לַעֲשׂוֹת צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט: Because I know him because he commands his sons etc. to do charity and justice.


This verse is adjacent to the matter of Sodom, because the power to nullify edicts with prayer is by virtue of charity and justice



Likutay Halachos, Laws of Gifts 5:29



19:27 וַיַּשְׁכֵּם אַבְרָהָם בַּבֹּקֶר אֶל הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר עָמַד שָׁם אֶת פְּנֵי השם: And Avrohom arose early in the morning to the place where he stood there (in devoted prayer before) the countenance of Hashem.


That which Abraham established the morning prayer of Shacharis was a reformation for the whole world, because even before him they were already praying



Likutay Halachos, Laws of Mincha (afternoon prayer) 7:82

_____________

Abraham constituted the morning prayer of Shacharis, for the main glory of HY is from beseeching, even more than praising, because the beseeching publicize Hashem's Providence over creation changing nature according to what is requested from Him



Likutay Halachos, Laws of the Prayer of Mincha (afternoon) 6



20:6 גַּם אָנֹכִי יָדַעְתִּי כִּי בְתָם לְבָבְךָ עָשִׂיתָ זֹּאת וגומר: Also I know that with the innocence of your heart you did this etc..


The real truth is only when a person is free of all bodily desires, otherwise one's truth is to know that he is far from the truth


This is what HY told Avimelech

Likutay Halachos, Laws of Interest 5:34



21:6 וַתֹּאמֶר שָׂרָה צְחֹק עָשָׂה לִי אֱלֹקים: And Sara said laughter G-d has made for me.


The laughter with the birth of Isaac was from the enormous joy in all the world from his holy birthplace



This is the aspect of the great rejoicing at a wedding


Likutay Halachos, Laws of Shabbos 6:23



22:1 וְהָאֱלֹקים נִסָּה אֶת אַבְרָהָם: And Gd tested Abraham.


What was the challenge of the test if HY told him straight out what to do? Only, it was his not harboring wrongful suspicions pertaining His Measures and he did His Will without understanding, this was the main challenge of the test


Likutay Halachos, Laws of Gifts 5:47



22:2 קַח נָא אֶת בִּנְךָ אֶת יְחִידְךָ וגומר: Take now (/please) your son, your only child etc..


The main construct of the Akaida (test of binding Isaac) is the yearning and longing for the Will of HY



By virtue of their withstanding the test it is ingrained in the nature of our souls to be willing to die for the sanctification of Hashem


Likutay Halachos, Laws of Craftsmen 4:10



24:4 וַיַּרְא אֶת הַמָּקוֹם מֵרָחֹק: And he (Abraham) saw the place from afar.


Even when one draws close to HY it is necessary to know that he is still distant



Abraham saw the future salvation, but only from afar


So it is always in every generation, in general and in particular


Through this one can hold up no matter what transpires to him


Likutay Halachos, Laws of Sending Away from a Nest 5



22:14 וַיִּקְרָא אַבְרָהָם שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא ה' יִרְאֶה וגומר: And Abraham called the name of that place (in prayer that) Hashem <Yeereh> Will See (fit to choose it) etc..


Abraham saw the salvation, but only from afar so that he couldn't figure it out, he had just to believe and wait for it and not to act prematurely (doachaik <press, pressure> hashu'a <the hour – the time>)


Likutay Halachos, Laws of Gifts 5:47

Pride brings to hom*s*xulity

HH

Rabbainu revealed in Character - The Aleph Bet Book of the Traits (https://www.createspace.com/6062519) that through excessive pride one will be sod*mized like a woman (Humility 2:2), and that through arrogance one comes to hom*s*xual desires (Arrogance 2).

Elsewhere we have already expounded upon this. Recently I've seen people writing about how they were born this way, and they fought it but were completely overwhelmed until the came to the conclusion that this who they are. So here I just want to point out that this is their utter pride and arrogance as if the trial and tests that they were up against were more difficult and challenging than the challenges everyone has - for after all everyone came into the world precisely to take on this exact challenge of s*xual purity, as Rabbainu made this very clear. So everyone undergoes tremendous battles, ups and downs, wins and losses, in this very field, and everyone, according to their pride will G"F be led to think that maybe he/she is different than others, and is entitled to certain things - maybe to watch clean movies - which is an aspect of being raped G"F, for the eyes bring upon the watcher the ravages of the emptiness of the film, and so on and so forth, every person according to their pride and assertion that they are different, place themselves into a position of extreme danger.

May HY have mercy on us.
