Also dedicated as a zechus for a refuah sheleimah for Chaim Yehoshua ben Chaya Miriam.

Themes: Review, Yaakov Avinu and Chayim - Eisav and misah,the reason we fast during an eis tzarah, Eretz Yisrael is a place of emes - constantly in Hashem's gaze, a remarkable remez in the pasuk in Yoel, unhealthy shame as the negative contrast of the light of Tefillin.

In this shiur on Rebbe Nachman's Sichos HaRan, we delve into a short, but incredibly radical and potent teaching regarding the suffering we experience in this world, and the possibility of choosing the lens of faith. Using additional teachings from Rabbeinu Bechayei and the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh, we carefuly unpack this delicate topic in a way that can hopefully help us access just a glimmer of the reality beyond where "things couldn't be better."

Also dedicated as a zechus for a refuah sheleimah for Chaim Yehoshua ben Chaya Miriam and Gadol Moshe ben Malka

Themes: [Mem Hei] - Clapping awakens "wings" - breath of our lungs, the secret of Galus and Geulas Mitzrayim, accessing Binah to activate our speech. [Mem Vav] - Bringing together North and South, 3 times Shem Havaya sweeten 3 times Shem Elokim, widening the "bottleneck", the secret of why the Aron held luchos and shivrei luchos, awakening passion - "By the sweat of their sleaves!", what it means to be a "real fan", sweetnening forgetfulness, bringing peace to the world, Reb Nosson's rendering of the lesson.

In this shiur, we look at Tzidkas HaTzaddik 41 about how to flood our lives with Hashem's Presence, 42 regarding the importance for tefillah to come forth from a willing heart, and 43 where Reb Tzadok whispers to us an eye-opening secret regarding struggles with the yetzer hara.

In this shiur, we address the recent conversations around the "Real Yidden" video created as a response to the content of Thank You Hashem, using a foundational teaching from the Berditchover Rav in parshas Mishpatim as well as an incredibly deep revelation from the Baal HaTanya to get to the heart of the issue and hopefully shed light on this debate.

We hope you enjoy, and please consider sharing with family and friends!
