What do we do when life feels upside down—when nothing is k’seder, and the world within and around us feels like it's unraveling?

In this experiential shiur, we explore Rebbe Nachman’s teaching in Likutei Moharan Tinyana 82 on the battle between k’seder (order) and shelo k’seder (disorder), and how that inner war mirrors the emotional and spiritual chaos so many of us feel today. We then turn to Likutei Halachos, Hilchos Tefillin, for a deep perspective on chizuk, patience, and the hidden redemptive power of suffering.

Rav Kook’s Orot HaTeshuvah 15:10 reminds us that the soul is always whole. When we forget our deeper nature—individually or nationally—we descend into chaos. But remembering who we truly are realigns us with Hashem’s will and opens the gates of redemption.

The class concludes with a short, guided mindfulness practice to help us return to a state of inner k’seder, reconnect with the soul’s quiet strength, and walk forward with more clarity, calm, and Emunah.
