Good shabbos!

Rav Leibish opens a deep teaching on Hisbodedus through the lens of Kislev, Hanukkah, and the Kabbalistic idea of moving from “the end” into renewal.
In this shiur he explores how nighttime, sleep, and circular awareness reveal a gentler, more intuitive path to connecting with Hashem — one that goes beyond linear thinking and into the heart of personal prayer.

Drawing from the ancient sefer and the teachings of the Arizal, Rav Leibish explains:

• Why Hanukkah begins in darkness — and what that means for inner avodah

• The month of Kislev as a time of sleep, intuition, and deep reset

• Circle-consciousness vs. linear mind-consciousness

• How Hisbodedus taps the subconscious and super-conscious

• Why true connection comes from letting go, not pushing harder

• How to access the “inner light” that isn’t for any purpose — just for being

A soothing, mystical entry into Hisbodedus practice — perfect for anyone seeking Reb Nachman’s path of authentic, personal connection with Hashem.

A powerful teaching from Meshiv Nafshi on the deepest paradox in avodas Hashem: Why what feels like a fall is often the beginning of real growth.
Drawing from Reb Nosson and the teachings of the tzaddikim, Rav Leibish explains how “you’re not stuck — you’re upgrading,” and why frustration, confusion, and dissatisfaction can signal your next spiritual level.

With stories, examples, and relatable life moments, this shiur explores:

• Yeridah tzorech aliyah — what it actually means

• Why spiritual dissatisfaction can be a sign of progress

• How to avoid mislabeling yourself as “failing”

• The danger of giving up vs. the art of staying present

• Trust, emunah, and opening the “window in the heart”

• How to reinterpret low moments as opportunities for ascent

A grounding, compassionate teaching for anyone navigating struggle and seeking real inner resilience.

Based on Meshiv Nafshi - by R Kivak, on משיבת נפש, Breslov teachings about strengthening.

A gentle, luminous dive into the Torah of sleep, circles, and hidden light.
In this week’s chaburah, Rav Leibish opens the teachings of Rav Shlomo Carlebach and the Kabbalists on Kislev, Hanukkah, and the deeper meaning of nighttime consciousness.

He explores why Hanukkah is the one chag rooted in darkness, how the circle energy of this month transcends linear thinking, and why the Kabbalah sees sleep as a spiritual gateway — not a retreat.
Along the way, he weaves stories of the Greeks, the Beis HaMikdash, the Holy of Holies as a “bedroom,” the subconscious, and the Carlebach path of flowing, intuitive avodah.

Topics include:

• Reb Shlomo’s Torah on light emerging from the end of the circle

• Why Kislev is tied to Binyamin, sleep, and renewal

• Greek intellect vs. Jewish consciousness

• The Beis HaMikdash as the deepest place of oneness

• Integrating conscious, subconscious, and super-conscious avodah

• How Hanukkah invites us into a different kind of awareness
