World of Breslov Chabura 5 - Likutei Moharan 2

Experience the remarkable sweetness of p'nimiyus haTorah through Rebbe Nachman's Likutei Moharan!

In this introductory shiur to a brand new series of the World of Breslov Chaburah, we explore the links with which Moshiach is bound with Kesser and Malchus, the spiritual energy of the Nose, and the trait of Rachmanus, as well as the manner in which he conquers the world using the weapon of tefillah - founded upon humility and moral purity. In addition, we learn how these ideas may be turned inward and seen as a guide toward achieving true inner redemption of God-Consciousness.

The World of Breslov Chabura(5)#1: INTRODUCTION - Prayer: The Weapon of Spiritual Redemption

In this class, we study the mind-blowing connections - revealed to Rav Tzadok Hakohen in a dream - between the Dor HaMabul, the Dor HaMidbar, and our generation, as well as the bond shared by three leaders of these eras: Noach, Moshe Rabbeinu, and Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. In addition, we explore the concepts of Moshiach ben Yosef and Moshiach ben David and the ways these energies manifest in both the months of Adar and Cheshvan as well as the physical nose and the spiritual sense of smell. Enjoy, and please share this deep and sweet Torah with family and friends!

The World of Breslov Chabura(5)#2: Noach, Moshe, Rebbe Nachman, and the Spirit of Moshiach

In this class, we learn about the paradoxes of prayer: If even our prayers are powered by Hashem in kindness, why must we pray? If everything Hashem does is for the good, why is it logical to ask Him to change anything? We discuss the balance between the realm of "Yediyah" in Kesser and the realm of "Bechira" in Malchus as well as the way these perspectives align with the two aspects of prayer, "Shevach" and "Bakasha", and the concepts of "Emunah" and "Bitachon".

The World of Breslov Chabura(5)#3: Balancing the Paradox of Prayer

We begin this class with an incredible teaching from the Bas Ayin, who sees a deep allusion to Chanukah in the story of Yehuda and Tamar(this week's parsha, Vayeishev.)We then continue our study of Likutei Moharan 2, discussing the paramount importance of humility and nullification to the will of Hashem.

The World of Breslov Chabura(5)#4: Nowhere, EVERYWHERE!(Vayeishev/Chanukah Hachanah)

In this class, we review what we have learned thus far in Torah Beis and discuss the manner in which giving tzeddakah can enable one who attained the sword of God-conscious prayer through humility and moral striving to fight with that spiritual sword in the proper way of balance and health. This completes the chain linking Kesser to Malchus and floods one's world with the redemptive light of deep awareness.

The World of Breslov Chabura(5)#5: Completing the Chain with Tzeddakah

In this class, we delve deeper in our understanding of the tzaddik's task by way of a fascinating Midrash Tanchumah regarding the manner in which the Mishkan came to be erected. In addition, we discuss the relationship between Torah and Tefillah and the way in which connection to the tzaddik must be accompanied by one's own avodah and hishtadlus.
