R’ Dovid Firestone opens Likutey Moharan Torah 1, Ashrei Temimei Derech , the seed that holds all of Rebbe Nachman’s Torahs. As his rebbe, Reb Tzvi Cheshin shlita, said: if he were starting Likutey Moharan, he would learn Torah Aleph for the rest of his life, because everything is included in it. The shiur starts with the Zohar on hanitzanim nir’u va’aretz : the world was in potential until Adam r...

What is chen — grace, charm, favor — really? Rebbe Nachman teaches that chen is connection: the נ (malchus) joined to the ח (chochmah). When I'm connected, it reflects to you, and you reflect it to the next person, like the moon receiving the light of the sun. That chain of chen, one Yid to the next, is what brings ohr halevanah k'ohr hachamah. In this shiur on Likutey Moharan Torah 1 (Ashrei Temi...

This shiur stays on that one turn. The moon has no light of its own. It only receives. The Rebbe says that’s the avodah, and that refusing to receive is Esav.

Rav Chaim Kramer, founder of the Breslov Research Institute, learns the opening lesson of Likutey Moharan, Ashrei Temimei Derech , and asks a hard question: there is more Torah being learned today than in hundreds of years, so why are our tefillos not answered, and why has the chen v’chashivus of Klal Yisrael fallen? In this shiur: Noach matza chen: how Torah saved Noach and the whole world The Re...

In Shiur 8 of our journey through Rebbe Nachman's story of the Lost Princess, the viceroy finally finds her. She's no longer just trapped in the place of lo tov; she has become its queen. We begin with the idea of the Tzaddik HaEmes: how the infinite connects to the finite through the Torah and through the tzaddik who nullifies himself. We look at the five tzaddikim given this title: Moshe Rabbein...

After seventy years asleep, the viceroy wakes up and asks, heichan ani ba'olam, "Where am I in the world?" Those words can sound like giving up. Sung with a different niggun, they become the strongest chizuk there is. In this chaburah on Rebbe Nachman's story of the Lost Princess, we read the scene of the kerchief written in tears and look at why the servant answers so differently after each fall....

Before learning the first Torah in Likutey Moharan, we hear the stories behind it. A man came to Rebbe Nachman in Medvedevka and complained that his prayers weren't being answered. He saw it because he had no chen or chashivus among the people of his town, who didn't respect his long davening. The Rebbe told him to learn something right after davening, Mishnah or Gemara, and promised that his tefi...
