1. Likutey Moharan #2. This lesson was given on a Shabbat in the winter of 5561 (1801), in the town of Zlatipolia. Rebbe Nachman lived there from just prior to Rosh HaShanah 5561 until he moved to Breslov almost two years to the day, in 5563 (see Until the Mashiach, p.60).

When the Terhovitza Magid (Reb Yekusiel, d.1811), a prominent Chassidic leader in his own right, later saw the lesson in writing, he remarked, "What can I say about this teaching? That it is Zohar? It's loftier than the Zohar! That it is Tikkuney Zohar? It's loftier than the Tikkuney Zohar!" (Aveneha Barzel p.74, #62). The main themes of the lesson are: prayer; guarding the Covenant; binding oneself to the tzaddik; charity; mishpat (justice); and Torah study. The Rebbe revealed this teaching following a visit from one of his closest followers, Reb Shmuel Isaac of Dashev (1765-1827), who had dreamt a most disturbing dream.
