Shivchei & Sichot Haran

204: Rabeinu affirms that all the conversations/matters of the world can be all be found in his teachings and conversations. 205: Rabeinu speaks about why sometimes he burns certain teachings. 206: Just listening to the voice of Rabeinu’s words is extremely awesome. 207: Sometimes, it takes a while for the conversations of Rabeinu to have an effect on an individual!

202: Just as there was a distinction between the prophecy of Moshe Rabeinu and the other prophets, so too there’s a difference between the Torah teachings of the tzadikim. 203: Rabeinu says that his Torah is far loftier in the places where he uses letter combinations and permutations.

198: Right around the time Rabeinu told over the story of the Master of Prayer (the 12th tale of sippurey maasiot), Rabeinu told his students that he knew a far more beautiful story that is a total novelty and has only been told once in the history of the world! We never had the merit to hear this story… 199-201: Rebbe Nathan shares a few awesome praises that Rabeinu gave his book Likutei Moharan

Rabeinu speaks about the greatness of the holy tzadik and chassid, Rebbe Levi Yitchak of Berditchev, and how everyone must feel the loss deep within himself when such a tzadik leaves this world…

Rabeinu said: “My Torah (lessons) are very great, it’s entirely Ruach Hakodesh/Divine Inspiration, and one can know the future from my lessons…” Rebbe Nathan describes the story of how Rabeinu revealed the news of the passing of the holy tzadik Rebbe Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev in the Torah lesson he (Rabeinu) revealed before anyone got news of his (the Berditchever’s) passing!

194: Even within the suffering G-d is still close to us. In fact, it’s actually through suffering that one truly draws close to HASHEM. With just one moment of true closeness to G-d, all suffering ceases to exist! 195: Rabeinu Nachman speaks about the importance of drawing souls close to G-d. He mentions that even higher than this task is his mission: to rectify naked souls…

Rabeinu describes the similar powers involved with the subjects of eating and money. He explains that just as there are 5 things a person must do when eating, the same is true of how a person acts with their money!!

190: Rabeinu used to imagine his death during his childhood to the point where he could actually taste it! 191: Rabeinu asks: how does one pass over a mountain of fire to get to the treasure on the other side? 192: Just as one believes that G-d exists, so to he must believe that there are Tzadikim in every single generation!

Rabeinu teaches us that there are ways of HASHEM that we cannot fathom whatsoever. We see this with the holy Arizal: he suffered the loss of his son Rabbi Moshe because revealed a secret of the Zohar to his student Rabbi Chaim Vital, even though he was forced to tell it to him! The same is true of Rabeinu…

187: We take a look at an awesome miracle story that took place with Rabeinu and one of his students. 188: Rabeinu prayed to feel the pain of every single Jew, especially those that would come before him and ask him to perform a pidyon for them.

On many occasions, Rabeinu spoke about future events, and those things came true of course. Rebbe Nathan though emphasizes the point that Rabeinu’s way wasn’t to reveal these things or other miracles he performed, for he wasn’t given permission by G-d to publicize this.

In this beautiful lesson, Rebbe Nathan describes the unique way Rabeinu conducted himself with his students. Because of Rabeinu’s very awesome level and his knowledge of the Jewish souls in their root, he gave his students certain unique practices that enabled them to fix whatever they needed to in their world. Some practices were emphasized for everyone, some only for a few, and other practices w...

182: Rabeinu explains that all his opposers aren’t actually opposing him at all… they oppose a person whom they made up all these things about! Rabeinu says that even he would oppose a person that did those things they claim… the only issue is that rabeinu never did those things that they say he did, which makes the opposition totally false and unjust to begin with. 183: Rabeinu predicts he’ll rec...

180: Rabeinu delves deeply into the subjects mentioned in Likutei Moharan Tinyana 88: The angels which blow the shofar on Rosh Hashana, the dangers of eating fruits which aren’t fully ripe, tikkun habrit, finding lost items… 181: Rabeinu teaches us that there’s a wisdom that’s so great you can survive just on the enjoyment from the wisdom alone, without eating or drinking!

177: Rabeinu reinforces his student to be happy! 178: Rabeinu was once expressing himself to Rebbe Nathan, telling him how much he needed to do and how short the day was… 179: Rabeinu, close to his passing, said that he couldn’t perceive any more and couldn’t move to the next level as long as he was clothed in this earthly body. He longed very much to leave this world just so he could push himself...

175: Rabeinu teaches us about the true significance of the pidyon nefesh-redemption for the soul… He says that nobody in history (and no one in the generation) has known how to truly perform the pidyon! 176: Before going to the land of Israel, Rabeinu said that he couldn’t sleep until all 600,000 letters of the Torah would pass before his eyes.

We delve into a conversation Rabeinu had with Reb Shimon that gives us a shocking insight into the spiritual levels Rabeinu attained

Rabeinu’s words were fulfilled that Reb Shimon (Rabeinu’s 1st student) would be banished 100’s of miles away. When Reb Shimon returned after 3 years, Rabeinu had grown so much spiritually and traversed so many levels that it was equivalent to the same amount he moved from the time he was born to the time he banished Reb Shimon!

170: Rabeinu teaches Rebbe Nathan that the only way to reach the level of great Tzadikim is through toiling/effort. 171: Rabeinu was a total novelty when it came to breaking his desires… 172: Rabeinu cried as many tears as there are threads on the tallit to understand the true meaning of the tallit.

168: The shame Rabeinu used to feel before G-d was literally showing on his face. Even the holy tzadik, Reb Nachum of Chernobyl have very high praise to Rabeinu for the fear of Heaven that he displayed. 169: Rabeinu’s face used to shine, but even more so on Shabbat. We discuss the holy practices Rabeinu used to perform on Friday night and Rebbe Nathan describes the intense holiness of Rabeinu duri...

Rabeinu would many times speak about the awesome levels he attained only in order to arouse his students’ desire to attain these awesome spiritual perceptions/levels. We delve into this subject along with a few stories…

Beautiful stories discussing Rabeinu’s devotion to prayer and hitbodedut.

162: Rebbe Nathan tells multiple stories of how Rabeinu put himself in danger when fasting from Shabbat to Shabbat. 163: Rabeinu’s hitbodedut…

Rabeinu discusses the difficulties in avodat HASHEM he went through before he attained the great spiritual levels he attained. Devotions like fasting, Hitbodedut, Torah, etc…
