1 Asking Above if there's anyone who concentrates...

[edit]

And like I heard of the story of the Baal Shem Tov z"l, who was asking Above if there's anyone who concentrates in his prayer in this generation as much as he. They replied, travel to this city and he'll find somebody named such-and-such who prays with more concentration than he. The Baal Shem Tov z"l traveled to that city and asked around about this man. And they told him that he's a very simple man, and they showed him in the beith midrash how he's sitting. He says a little, pauses and lifts up both hands; and he does this repeatedly. The Baal Shem Tov z"l asked him why he does that and what he's saying.

He replied that he knows nothing but Alef-Bet. "So I said to H"Y, 'What is all of prayer except just Alef-Bet? only one needs to know how to sequence them and make words heard from them, and to sequence the words together.' So I said, 'Ribono Shel `Olam, behold, I cannot sequence, but you can sequence perfectly, therefore I render to you that you sequence them.' So I say all the Alef-Bet and raise my hands and render them to H"Y to sequence them and make them a prayer. Then the same thing again, the Alef-Bet and giving it to H"Y." So this is what he's thinking with the Alef-Bet. And his pausing and lifting up his hands, this is his rendering it to H"Y. But he asks of him (of the Besht z"l) to not tell it, and not inform his wife, lest she divorce him.

The Besht concluded about this: Now it is clear to him that H"Y definitely knows how to sequence the prayer and direct it better than he. For, this person gives over to H"Y to make the prayer the way He knows it should be done, and definitely when H"Y makes the prayer He makes it better than the Besht z"l.

[edit]

One time the Besht z"l traveled through Uman, and flocks and flocks of pigeons circled him. And he stood still by them and told them, "I cannot stay with you and repair you. Only, my grandchild will repair you." And he circled them with his hands, that they should desist from him, and they flew away from him.

And also one time he found a Kamea (Cameo) of the righteous tzaddik R' Nafthali Katz z"l, on which was written, "Go to Grekov Forest near Uman city, and there you'll find your repair."

3 A story about Rabbi Nachman of Horodenka ztz"l

[edit]

A story about Rabbi Nachman of Horodenka ztz"l

A story of the rabbi the tzaddik, our maestro Rabbi Nachman of Horodenka z"l, grandfather of Rabbeinu haKadosh, who was one of the greatest disciples, and was actual manager of the holy Baal Shem Tov z"l's house, who held all the keys of the Baal Shem Tov's house, as is known. And this rav, Rabbi Nachman, had a sister in a certain city (seems to me Horodenka), and one time he arrived with the holy Baal Shem Tov and lodged at her home. Now, the Baal Shem Tov had a "lulka" [Slavic for cradle, fig. pipe] that was long down to the floor. He would load it with "tytun" [<Turk. tutun, tobacco], and when he needs to light the pipe, Rabbi Nachman took an ember and prostrated himself spread out on hands and legs and prepared the pipe. His sister saw this and was confused and said, "Of course you light the pipe, since he's your Rav. But to such extent of prostration and spreading your hands and feet?!"
He replied, "What shall I tell you of his greatness? If you'd know how of his greatness, you'd say he's Kudsha Brikh Hu Himself. But I, who have more knowledge than you, I know he serves Kudsha Brikh Hu.

4 Pertaining to CM #197 Once there was an certain elder, one of the important followers of the Baal Shem Tov...

[edit]

Once there was a certain elder, one of the important followers of the Baal Shem Tov. And he heard from him that he will have a grandchild who can be of benefit to a Baal Bechirah (person with free will). After the Baal Shem Tov's passing he traveled to all the Baal Shem Tov's grandchildren, to see who the Baal Shem Tov spoke about regarding a Baal Bechirah. He came to the holy rav Rabbi Barukh z"l, and he heard from outside the holy rav mournfully saying, "Ribono Shel Olam, how can one benefit a Baal Bechira?" The elder thought, "Your grandfather the Baal Shem Tov did not mean you" (Im ken, nit aykh maint ayer zayde) etc. But when he came to Rabbeinu z"l, outside he heard Rabbeinu z"l saying with deep expression, in the way of Rabbenu z"l's expressiveness, "Hen Baal Bechirah/Yeah, a Baal Bechira." Like he was saying, "I can benefit a Baal Bechirah." The elder said, "It is you that your grandfather meant, that you'll be able to benefit a Baal Bechirah."

Said the Copyist [R' Nachman Goldstein of Tcherin]: To understand this, of course all the tzadikim the students of the Baal Shem Tov made baalei teshuvah (returnees) who were Baalei Bechirot. Rather, "To benefit a Baal Bechirah" — means to not take away his Bechirah (Nit zunehmnen di bechira), only help and support him with advice etc., and he himself turn his bechirah/ free choice to good, specifically while having bechirah. Teshuvah's essence is none other than this actual thing. And this was the case only by Rabbeinu z"l, for the other tzaddikim produced baalei teshuvah, and carried them on their shoulders, without giving back their bechirah to go again in the same places they passed before etc. There's a lot to say and explain about this, and to show this is in fact so; but it's enough for a discerning person.

5 About Rabbi Simchah (Rabbeinu z"l's father) there was a story. He was traveling with a convoy and they all got off path...

[edit]

About Rabbi Simchah (Rabbeinu z"l's father) there was a story. He was traveling with a convoy and they all got off path, and they all went separate ways to find the road. Meanwhile they found the road, but he Rabbi Simchah z"l got left behind and could not find the place. Suddenly he was left alone from all the convoy, and the more he went the more he got lost. He was suffering a great deal and fell asleep. Someone came and gave him a baby. He was totally unwilling and said, "I'm lost and you give me a baby?!" They took this baby and brought him a different baby (from a higher place), but he didn't want. They took this baby too and brought him another, and this happened seven times. The eighth time, when he didn't want to take, they told him, "Well this is already the eighth one, higher than all the seven!" When he did not want, they left him the baby against his will and left him.

Suddenly he wakes up and sees behold! he's near civilization. He went there and saw it's the city Harrachov, the place of the rabbi the tzaddik Rabbi Yitzchak of Drohobych z"l, father of the rav the tzaddik R' Yechiel Michel of Zlotchov. (The greatness this rav R' Yitzchak z"l is known, as the Baal Shem Tov z"l said of him, that he has the neshamah/soul of Rashbi etc. etc.) This was just before his passing. R' Simcha z"l went to visit him and the rav R' Yiztchak told him, "So since you're already here, now I can already leave!" (Azoy az du bist shoyn da meg ikh shoyn geyin!) (As is brought [in the kabbalistic books], that before the Tzaddik passses, comes the next Tzaddik.) And who he meant was Rabbeinu z"l who was already sentient. But Rabbi Simcha didn't understand and said to him, "What are you saying, that I should leave?" He replied, "No, I only said since you're already here I can now go." (Az du bist shoyn da meg ikh shoyn geyin). He said to him, "Hey, is this already the eighth time?" (That is, of the babies.) (Ayo, em iz shoyn das akhte mal?) He did not understand the whole matter. The rav R' Yitzchak rebuked R' Michel his son and told him, "Yes, now you have someone to express yourself to. Behold, the Baal haBayit is traveling here (and he pointed to Rabbi Simcha)." (Ya, hast zikh shoyn far vemin zu temin, ot fart dem baal habayit.) Now you can be bashful. (Megstu zikh shoyn shemin.)

Suddenly R' Yitzchak z"l passed away and R' Michel his son the next day need to lay tefillin, and they were informed by the sofer that this Rabbi Yitzchak z"l got from him the tefillin housings thirty days before and filled them every day with tears (to fill them with his mind, for tefillin are the brains, and the tears are the waste of the brains). And then when he passed R' Michel z"l stirred up a great deal and said then before all the people, "I swear on his house etc. and you are witness, and also the father of the deceased is witness (the corpse was lying before them), that I am from now and forevermore detached from the Yetzer haRa/ Evil Inclination! From now on I have nothing to do with it!" (Ayer zent edut un der tati is ayn edut, az ikh gizegin mikh mit dem yezter hara! Mer hob ikh mit ihm kayn besheft nit!) This caused great excitement, and the next day his laying tefillin was met with great excitement.

From all this, Rabbi Simcha got very excited, and then he traveled and arrived home and then his wife got pregnant, Mrs. Feyge the mother of Rabbeinu z"l. (Who it seems to my the Copyist's humble knowledge, is the last [i.e. eighth baby] in this story. To understand this, it's known that each time this R' Yitzchak [conceived] a son he would come to see him but the son passed away. But with the birth of R' Michel, R' Yitzchak's wife implored him to make him live, and R' Yitzchak went to see him and told the baby, "Well, there were many [souls even] much finer than yours, but nevertheless R' Michel will live." So what's written makes it seem R' Yitzchak wished to personally bring Rabbeinu's soul to the world.)

6 Pertaining to CM #104 I heard from one of the Rebbe's followers...

[edit]

I heard from one of the Rebbe's followers: One time Moharnat was talking with the Admor z"l's people during his lifetime about the great awesomeness of the Admor z"l's sanctity, and the well-known Feige, mother of Rabbeinu z"l, heard them speaking of the Admor z"l's sanctity. She spoke up and told them, "I'll tell you what kind of Rebbe you have, so you can know his sanctity and the holiness of his soul. Behold, my husband the tzaddik R' Simchah took a trip and was delayed there two weeks and told me he'll be home for Shabbat Kodesh. On that Shabbat that he said he'd come, I got up before morning light to knead the holy challot for Shabbat Kodesh. While separating challah I looked out to see where he is, in order to know if he'll get home for Shabbat Kodesh. (For she was like one of the prophetesses as is known, whose brother the holy rav Rabbi Borukh of Medzhibuzh z"l called her a prophetess, and her holy brothers Rabbi Borukh and Rabbi Efraim of Sudilkov, practiced great respect before her.) But I did not see him, and also later when I was doing something for Shabbat Kodesh, I looked for him too and did not find him. And thus many times. (And that night was her night of immersion, and I was deliberating whether to go immerse, and I went to immerse, and I looked as well but did not find him.)

"During candle lighting for Shabbat Kodesh, I also looked but did not see him. (And her custom was to light candles for Shabbat Kodesh hours before the time). And after lighting the candles I lay on my bed (due to my great anguish) and dozed off. My mother the tzadeket Adel came with all the matriarchs Sarah, Rivka, Rachel and Leah, and told me, "Be not dismayed, for your husband will still home come today erev Shabbat Kodesh!" And they took me and brought me to the "Room of Souls" [cheder ha-neshamoth], and I saw a soul whose light was enormous and I asked them, "Who is this soul?" They told me, "This is the soul of your grandfather the Baal Shem Tov z"l. Then they walked me further on and I saw a soul whose light was utterly, utterly great without bound and I asked them, "Who is this soul?" They told me, "This soul they want to give you" etc. etc.

Immediately I woke up and my husband had arrived home from his trip, and I asked him, "What is this? I was looking for you and didn't find you anywhere!" He answered me etc. etc. Friday morning he set out and he was far from Medzhibuzh about 15 parsahs, and was off the route all day, but towards evening he looked — and behold he's close to Medzhibuzh, and he was amazed. He arrived home while the day was still broad, and that night, which was my immersion night, I got pregnant with my son, who is your Rabbi. Now you can know the greatness of your Rebbi and the greatness of his soul."

It has already been explained above, how Rabbi Simchah was traveling and got lost, and how his wife Feige was suffering and looking for him during all her Shabbat preparations and didn't find him and was suffering a great deal. Now, Rashbi zy"a came to her several times and consoled her, and told her, "The Accuser set out far and wide to not let this soul (the soul of Rabbeinu z"l) come to the world, and I cast myself down and cried before Hashem Yithbarakh, until I brought about that his soul come to this world." And one time Rashbi told her in these words, "Even I need this soul in this world."

[edit]

I heard from the rav R' Chaim Sonnenfeld (Rabbi Yosef Chaim rabbi of Yerushalaim), that Rabbeinu z"l when he was still little he learned with a teacher (which is called a "dardaki," [teacher] of children) One time he cried and his father asked why he's crying and he replied because the teacher hit him and he asked the teacher why he hit him and he replied because among the blessings he said he did not say the berakhah "shelo' `asani goy/who did not make me gentile." And he asked him why did you not say the berakhah shelo' `asani goy. He replied because he had already said it right after netilat yadaim/ morning hand washing. He asked him, "Why did you say the berakhah right after netilat yadaim and not in the order of blessings?" He replied that the order of the berakhot is according to the Gemara, according to their order performance, for example when dressing oneself "who clothes the naked" etc. And he inferred that because immediately on rising he washes his hands therefore it precedes all the berakhot to say shelo' `asani goy, since a goy does not do netilat yadaim, therefore this needs to be the first berakhah. (Di ershte berakhah as men iz nit kayn goy/ The first berakhah is that he is not a goy.) (And from his followers I did not hear this story at all. This also occurs in one matter in Parparoth leChokhmah by the rav of Tcherin where he tells [that matter] in the name of public who tell it in the name of Rabbeinu z"l, but he never heard it from his followers.)

[edit]

The night of 14 Shvat [5]570, Breslev

He told me that he dreamt the previous night a dream so bizarre, he had never before dreamt the likes of it etc. There is an entire story to it, which he did not tell etc. There was a giant man of fire and he knew [his name] but forgot. Also, they gave him what to wear, and cautioned him to never remove the clothing at any time. Also they cautioned him to not remove the stockings (zakin) that he's wearing. However, he doesn't pay attention to dreams. Also he was mournful before them regarding his infirmity, and he told them all about his sickness, the tuberculosis, and that his side hurts etc. And I was very happy then.

9 Pertaining to CM #96 Regarding the Shofar of Rabbeinu z"l...

[edit]

Regarding the Shofar of Rabbeinu z"l, that after Rabbeinu z"l took a walk and told very excitedly that he was inspired by the shofar he heard on 1 Elul, and that his daughter came in afterwards and told him, "Father, I just had a great arousal by the shofar blast today," as brought in the story in SH and Rabbeinu z"l taught a Torah about this (LM #141) that begins, "If he merits to feel the pain of his mistakes" (and this Torah and the prayer about it in Likutei Tefilot #85 pertain to Elul), and after Rabbeinu z"l excitedly told this experience of this, Moharnat felt regret and dozed off, and dreamed he was involved with Rabbeinu z"l in Torah #10 "We'elleh haMishpatim". And he got very excited, and especially at the statement brought there "Bitru`ah d'ihi rucha ith`avir el acher/ By Teruah, which is spirit, foreign gods are driven away" etc. And when he came to Rabbeinu z"l then Rabbeinu z"l told the the dream he saw, that he wanted to hear the shofar sound, and heard that in a certain house they sing and dance very loudly, and Rabbeinu z"l said, "Isn't it good to go in here and hear the shofar sound?" And someone came and said, "Isn't this hinted in your book Likutei Moharan #10 that the mitzvah of shofar is the aspect of clapping and dancing?" For this Torah speaks of the clapping and dancing. It is explained there the statement of the Zohar, "by Teruah, which is spirit, foreign gods are driven away" and thereby one attains clapping and dancing, hence it explains that teruah which is the shofar sound is the aspect of clapping and dancing etc. And Rabbeinu z"l nodded his head (that it's so). (See in CM this story is brought.) (And when Rabbeinu z"l told this dream R' Nathan, R' Naftali, R' Shim`on, R' Shmuel Ayzik, and R' Yudel were with him. And R' Natan wanted to tell Rabbeinu z"l the dream he saw, that he was involved with Rabbeinu z"l in Torah #10 as mentioned, but immediately the aforementioned came out, and Rabbeinu z"l replied to him, "You don't need to tell, I myself know because weren't you the one who answered me and said the proof that teruah drives away etc. as mentioned. Then he told him the end of the dream, that someone spoke up and said it, for initially he only told that he wanted to go in a house and hear etc. And then when Moharnat spoke to him as mentioned, he told him the end of the dream, that someone spoke up and said etc.)

And behold, they were utterly excited about Rabbeinu z"l's shofar, and then R' Nathan z"l took it and blew it for himself all the month of Elul, and only on Rosh haShanah he gave the shofar to the congregation to blow, and specifically R' Meir Leyb Blekhir would blow, and after the passing of Moharnat z"l R' Yitzchak ben Moharanat z"l took the shofar.

[edit]

I heard from fellow Breslevers that when people heard the gezeirot/ decrees of Nekritin [?] are coming out, everyone was in worldwide uproars about it. Rabbeinu involved himself a great deal with this, and he said about it many Torahs, as brought in C"M. And Rabbeinu z"l said then the Torah #10 We'elleh haMishpatim that the advice for this is: Dancing and clapping nullifies harsh decrees (dinim), and the proper righteous rabbi R' David Tzvi z"l father in law of Moharnat z"l asked Moharnat z"l, "What does your Rabbi say to do about the Nikretin (for he was the overall Rav of all the regions and ordered they [pray] begging and pleading more, as usual). Moharnat z"l replied that Rabbeinu says the advice for this is dancing and clapping (Er hayset gar tantsin/ His call is to just dance!). He replied, "This way sounds good to me as well" (Mir gifelt oykh azoy). Then he also ordered his followers to dance etc. The tears and crying that came out of the dancing are impossible to relate. The simple way to understand this is: by only [praying in] begging and pleading, one is prone to fall sad and weak, which is the whole root of the decrees — bad events are caused by sadness — therefore when falling in sadness on the contrary the decrees wax stronger and stronger God forbid. Therefore the advice is to break the sadness then automatically the heart opens to ask from H"Y as mentioned, so the judgements get sweetened, aside from the great secrets contained in all of Rabbeinu's words.

[edit]

When Rabbeinu z"l married off his daughter Sarah'ke in Medvedevka he stayed there till after Pesach. (The wedding was on R"C Nissan.) And Moharnat remained there with Rabbeinu z"l and asked permission of Rabbeinu z"l to sit at his table during the Seder, but Rabbeinu z"l declined. (Rabbeinu's practice was to sit at the Seder with only his household). So Moharnat sat alone and sped through the Seder at his own place, and after finishing went to Rabbeinu z"l's house. He arrived there when Rabbeinu z"l said the verse "Pour out your wrath on the heathens," and opened the door as usual — and he snuck in and saw Rabbeinu z"l! Moharnat always cherished that he saw Rabbeinu z"l one time during the seder.

12 Pertaining to C"M #117 Rabbeinu z"l married off his daughter Miriam

[edit]

Rabbeinu z"l married off his daughter Miriam to R' Pinchas the son of the Rav from Volochisk, and the wedding was in Volochisk. In honor of the wedding came many guests, and they stayed there over Shabbat, and the city was very small. And there, there was a small bathhouse and it was very cramped Erev Shabbat, and Moharnat asked Rabbeinu z"l if it's possible to rely on the tevilah (immersion) that one immersed in the morning before prayer, since it's so crowded now, and it's impossible to take proper care of one's clothes (as is known, Rabbeinu z"l was very particular about caring for one's clothes [against tear or stain, LM #127 ...]). Rabbeinu z"l told him, one needs to go, and particularly take good care.

Rabbeinu z"l said regarding how great a thing it is to be by him for R"H, that the gathering at his side is so major that even if someone is at the "Sanctuary of the Bird's Nest" (which is the Mashiach's sanctuary, higher than all the sanctuaries), one should leave that sanctuary and go down to pray on R"H with his gathering.

[edit]

Rabbeinu z"l said that the matter of his R"H when they gather at his holy grave is extremely great and very dear in his eyes. And he said that even from the "Sanctuary of the Bird's Nest" in Gan Eden (that is, the Mashiach's Hall) one should come and gather for R"H to pray together with them. (That is, this is more important in his eyes, and like we see with H"Y himself, that he leaves all the Upper Worlds and praises His Shekhinah in the Lower Worlds, in the aspect of, "You desired praise from bodies of dust and matter; that's Your praise" [piyutim]; and "Tzaddikim are more present in this world after their passing [than in their lifetime]" [Z.

[edit]

Also, he said how the Sefer haGanuz is great (as brought in C"M about this at length, that it is "Eye has not seen" [Isa. 64:3], that no creature knew even one word of it, only Mashiach will teach an explanation of it etc.), and the Sefer haNisraf is great. But my Rosh Hashanah is even grater (like he said, "Nothing is greater than this" (Kayn gresers der fun iz nitte)) (Vi der sefer haganuz iz gros [vi] der Sefer haNisraf [iz gros] iz mayn R"H nokh gresir) (That is, to be with him R"H):

Also he said if not for his R"H the world would revert to "Tohu uvohu" (Ven nit mayn R"H volt di velt givarin tohu uvohu).

[edit]

When Rabbeinu was travelling secretly and under cover, one time he arrived at some village before Shacharit, and requested a room to pray. The owner understood this is a man of wonder, and ordered his servant to make a meal for Rabbeinu z"l, and the owner paid Rabbeinu z"l a great deal of respect, then set the table for Rabbeinu z"l, and during the meal he complained to Rabbeinu z"l about his situation, distress and livelihood.

Rabbeinu z"l answered him: It'll be good, just don't be a shoteh/fool (Nur zalst kayn na'ar nit zayn); and he went his way.

[edit]

Behold, it's known from C"M that Rabbeinu z"l knew of a sofer/scribe, righteous and hidden, that all his followers had tefillin from him, just he only wanted it to be in a manner that they should not know that this was intentional. And the rav requested (I'm not sure if R' Shmuel Ayzik or the Magid of Terhovitza) of Rabbeinu to let him know his name and city in order to make tefillin by him, and Rabbeinu z"l told him he lives in Yelsvet [Yelisavetgrad]. The rav the maggid traveled there to him and visited him at home, and he made as if he didn't know and asked him what he wants from him. He replied, he needs to make tefilin, so he wants him to write tefilin for him. He replied this is very hard since it takes a lot of money etc. He replied he'll give him as much as he wants. He dissuaded him with more discouragements, but he agreed to everything, until he attained tefilin from him. And when he got back R' Nathan was jealous of him and also wanted to do this, and requested also at this sofer, but in the end turned back from it, for he said that he has tefillin of Rabbeinu z"l and this is more cherished by him, and this is the story: Once he was on the road with Rabbeinu z"l. (Rabbeinu z"l intentionally did not bring, in order to put on Moharnat z"l's tefillin). And he asked for Moharnat z"l's tefilin and put them on, then Moharnat z"l put them on. So his tefilin were more valuable than the tefilin of the hidden tzaddik sofer whom Rabbeinu z"l attested of his greatness and the importance of his tefillin.

And like one time after the passing of Rabbeinu ztz"l, when Rabbeinu z"l's students were sitting together and R' Yudel z"l said he's sitting in Rabbeinu z"l's chair since he's inheriting Rabbeinu z"l's shtreimel. R' Nathan z"l got excited and said he's inheriting Rabbeinu z"l's brains since tefilin are the brains, and Rabbeinu z"l on purpose put on Moharnat z"l's tefilin so that he could receive his brains. Then Moharnat z"l sang the song, "Azamer Bishvachin" very arousedly (as has already been written). The Rav the Magid or Terhovitza jumped up from the table and said, "I thought he's R' Nathan but finally I see he's Rabbeinu z"l himself!"

I heard that after Rabbeinu z"l's passing, the first Shabbat, Rabbeinu z"l's students were sitting in Rabbeinu z"l's house and R' Yudel said he's sitting on his chair because he has Rabbeinu z"l's shtreimel. And others said similar things. Moharnat z"l answered him and said he's sitting in his chair since he has his tefillin, the mochin/brains (because they were Rabbeinu z"l's tefillin because one time he was traveled with Rabbeinu and Rabbeinu z"l asked him to give him his Rabbeinu Tam tefillin (that is, Moharnat z"l's, and Rabbeinu z"l put them on then gave them back)). So Moharnat z"l sat on his chair and sang the hymns and said that when they came to Rabbeinu z"l Moharnat z"l sat on one side and R' Natfali on the other and Rabbeinu z"l sang a line of the hymn "Azamer Bishvachin" and R' Nathan and R' Naftali sang the next. Then the same way "Nezamin lah hashta" etc. and so forth until the song's end. And Moharnat's face was glowing the way it glowed then. And the Rav the Magid of Terhovitsa z"l left the table and exclaimed, "I thought this is R' Nathan but finaly I see he's Rabbeinu himself!"

20 Pertaining to C"M #547 Mizrach baym pekl

[edit]

Also, Rabbeinu z"l said (Mizrach baym pekl), that is, when one is praying the Shemoneh Esreh on the road, one looks for the direction of east to pray. Rabbeinu z"l said that mizrach is the shadow of his baggage so they don't steal them. And when one of his followers had damage or loss, Rabbeinu got mad at him and made him travel and look for the lost item even when it cost more than the lost item. This was his practice with his followers and R' Avraham z"l when he lost even a kerchief he traveled back so far until he found the kerchief.

21 Pertaining to C"M #592: One time Rabbeinu z"l said the hardest and heaviest of all obstacles is only the mental (and heart) block.

[edit]

One time Rabbeinu z"l said the hardest and heaviest of all obstacles is just the mental (and heart) block. For without mental block (that is, when there is no doubt in the mind that he has to do this thing and his desires are strong), then even any kind of obstacles, his wife or other people in the world who are blocking, or money, or the sea etc. — they'd all be broke through with a strong will. (Like people say, "Resolution can break iron" (ratzon brekht ayzin)). So if someone doesn't accomplish what he wanted through his resolution, it's a sign that he didn't honestly desire it. For, "Ein davar ha`omed leneged haratzon/ Nothing can stand in the way of resolution!" Rabbeinu z"l said it in these words, "The main thing is the mental block." (Der ikar iz meniot haMoach.)

(And like one time someone told Rabbeinu z"l, 'I want to be a kosher person!' and he replied (Vilstu ober veln?) That is, Will you truly wish it? For if there is a strong will he will surely attain what he wants, only if he does not give up his strong will, for the main thing is the will. There's nothing stronger than it.)

23 Rabbeinu z"l said that Mashiach will have to do more work with the Chassidic imposters than...

[edit]

Rabbeinu z"l said that Mashiach will have to do more work with the Chassidic mefursamim shel sheker/ imposters, than the work he'll have with the fraye/"liberated" [secularist] and apostate Jews. Because the latter want to understand only with wisdom, and Mashiach will be superbly wise and will show them by wisdom that he is right, so they'll acknowledge him.

But those Chassidic fakers who believe in emunoth cozeviyyot/false faiths, when Mashiach shows to their eyes how it is, they'll reply, "I believe" (Ikh glayb). Even though he shows to his eyes what the truth is, he still believes (in the sheker) even though he understands intellectually.

He said it in these words, (Az Mashiach vet hobn mer arbayt mit di falshe chasidim vi mit di frayen, varn di fraye vet er vizin mit chokhma veln zey mode zayn. aber di falshe chasidim vifil er vet oys vizin der emet veln zey zagn "Ikh glayb," klomar chotchye ikh farshtay, nit azoi glayb ikh fart). H"Y guard us from this! Amen ken yehi ratzon.

24 Rabbeinu z"l said, "I am jealous of R' Yoske (that is, regarding simplicity...

[edit]

Rabbeinu z"l said, "I am jealous of R' Yoske (that is, regarding simplicity, which is called prostok, without chokhmot/ complex detail (erinst). This R' Yoske was an utterly simple person, and he had a thick siddur from one of the old siddurim printed with all the supplications and yotzrot, and he took this siddur to the synagogue and he'd say the entire thing from beginning to end. Nothing was left out, from R"H to Purim to the Hagaddah, everything in entirety he said without making distinction. It was with such a simplicity and innocence.

25 Rabbeinu z"l said, I an jealous of R' Yoske, who was an extremely simple man...

[edit]

Rabbeinu z"l said, I an jealous of R' Yoske, who was an extremely simple man, and he had a big thick siddur with all the early supplications and all the yotzerot of all the Shabbatot of the year. And he used to go all day to the beit midrash with his thick siddur and he didn't move from there until he started from the beginning, Modeh Ani, and said it in order (even all the prayers from Rosh haShanah and Yom Kippur and Pesach and Sukkot etc. and all the blessings and Teki`at Shofar and the Blessings for Enjoyments and Marriage Blessings and circumcision etc. etc.), everything till the end. (Er hat oys ge'ent das sidur fin tavil tzi tavil ale tag)'. And Rabbeinu z"l was jealous of him because simplicity is above all.

(And I heard such a story also in the name of the Besht, who was also jealous of a simple person like this in his day, and he said of him that each time it happened above and then he came back down, for example when he said the prayers and songs of Pesach, the tikkunim of Pesach happened above, and same for Shavuot etc. and everything else. And as is known also of the story of the Lechem haPanim during the Arizal's time, when there was a simple man and he heard a speech from the great rabbi, the tikkunim that happened while the Temple stood, of the Lechem haPanim. And he asked him what is it and how did they do it. And the rav told him the whole order of its performance and went home and agreed with his wife to do every week, waving in 13 waves and brought them every Erev Shabbat Kodesh to the Holy Ark and asked H"Y to eat it and that it be pleasant and sweet to Him, and his attendant brought them out. And he said presumably he put them down for him and he ate them for Shabbat. And when he came afterwards and did not find them, he thought H"Y as if ate them, and he had great joy, and it was this way a long time. One time he came to the study hall with his bread and went straight to the Aron haKodesh and didn't see that the Rav was there, and he spoke as usual his requests and supplications of H"Y that He eat them and accept them etc. And the Rav heard and scolded him and called him, "Igoramus, does H' eat?" He asked him, "Rather, who eats it? Presumably, the attendant." And that's what happened. He told him, "I meant well, so I'll do teshuvah." And the Rav was reviewing the speech he needed to say the next day on Shabbat Kodesh, and the Arizal dispatched to him give orders to his house, for tomorrow when he's to say the speech he will die, God save us, for he nullified the delight of H"Y, for He really had delight from this simple person like from the Lechem haPanim in the Temple etc.)

Rabbeinu z"l said when the Israelite man experiences whatever conditions (for each person goes through many kinds of experiences etc.), and he complains that it's bad for him, God save us, and that H"Y is treating him bad, H"Y says, "That's what you call bad? Far be it, I'll show you what's called 'bad'!" God forbid. But conversely if whatever way it goes he says, "Barukh Hashem, Thank H"Y for this" (Gloybt [trust] H"Y der far), and finds expansion that this is good etc., H"Y says, "That's what you call good? I'll show you what's called good!" (Das hays ba dir gust [liking], ikh vel dir vayzn vas hayst gust!)

27 Rabbeinu z"l said if things happen to him and he gets in an uproar over it...

[edit]

Rabbeinu z"l said if things happen to him and he gets in an uproar over it and says how it's bad for him, H"Y (the Attribute of Judgement) says, "That's called 'bad'? I'll show you what's called 'bad'!" God forbid, and he makes it worse for him, God forbid. Likewise if he then makes more uproar, God save us, it gets worse, God forbid. But when the man acknowledges to H"Y what he's going through and says "B"H, good," then H"Y says, "You call that good? I'll show you what good is like," then it goes better for him, and so forth and so on. (In other words, Az me zagt es iz shlekht zagt H"Y das hays shlekht ikh vel dir vayzn vas shlekht iz R"L, aber az men zag B"H git, zagt H"Y das hays ba dir gut, ikh vel dir vayzin vas hayst gut.)

And one time Rabbeinu z"l saw someone going in mourning, with ritually torn clothes, God forbid, and Rabbeinu z"l said, "This happened to him because he was sad before." And as brought in Sefer haMidot, that a person needs to very much guard against sadness, so that he not end up a real mourner, God save us.

From Rabbeinu z"l, who saw someone wearing a torn garment for his deceased, and he told him that his sadness (being a sad person) caused him to have this tear, God save us, meaning that his relative died. (As brought in Sefer haMidot, that a person must guard against sadness, lest he become a mourner, God save us.)

29 Rabbeinu z"l said that saying a mockery needs three conditions

[edit]

Rabbeinu z"l said that saying a mockery (vartil) needs three conditions. One, no lewd talk. Two, not hurt anyone. Three, not praise oneself. (Ayns es zol nit zayn kayn nivul peh. Tzvatens, er zol nit maynen yenem tzi trefen. Dritens, er zol zikh nit maymen.) Rabbeinu z"l finished, "Now say a joke." (Na haynt zog shoyn a vartil.) Also Rabbeinu z"l said, "There's nothing more crooked than a straight joke." (Nitakayn krimers fin aglokh vartil.)

30 R' Mikhel of Tulchin z"tzl told that he knew followers of R' Yosil the Silent ztz"l

[edit]

R' Mikhel of Tulchin z"tzl told that he knew followers of R' Yosil Shotek [meaning the silent one] ztz"l. This R' Yosil Shotek was a friend of the HRH"Tz R' Levi Yitzchak z"l the rav of Berditchev ztz"l, and he was a very silent person. He used to say jokes (aglokh vartil), and one time he argued with HRH"Tz of Berditchev z"l over some pshat in Gemara, and HRH"Tz of Berditchev z"l spoke up and replied to him that that's how they learn the pshat above in Heaven (i.e. as he z"l understands it). R' Yosil z"l answered him in jest (vartil), "And they can't be wrong in Heaven?" (In himel ken men kayn taut nit hobn?). And HRH"Tz of Berditchev z"l was very disturbed by this and replied to him very agitatedly, "Yosil, look where your scoffery has brought you!" (Yosil di halst dikh nokh in vartlakh? Zeyeh tsi vas dayne vartlakh hobn dikh gibrengt!) These words entered deep in his heart, and from then on, he was resolute to not only not tell jokes but even keep total silence and not talk. And he kept this up, in total self sacrifice, for he got vitality from telling quips etc., and when he afflicted himself by this, his members physically dried up due to the self-denial and affliction. And this follower of his told R' Mikhel z"l that when he saw him at the bathhouse we he was so shriveled and thin that his inner organs were visible. And this relative spoke up, "R' Yosil, enough self-denial, let up a bit!" He replied excitedly, "The body is so coarse and strong (physical), give it one day and it'll already go back to itself that it was!" (Der guf iz azoy megusham laz im nar op ayn tag iz er shoyn der aygner vas er iz given).

31 Hersheleh was accustomed to circulate among the Admorim...

[edit]

Hersheleh was accustomed to circulate among the Admorim and was accustomed that upon arriving he would say a milta bedikhuta/ joke. One time he came to Rabbeinu z"l whilst Rabbeinu z"l was sitting in the company of his chasidim. Rabbeinu z"l saw the aforementinoed from the window and told his chasidim to not laugh. Hersheleh entered, immediately said a joke, and no one laughed. Then Rabbeinu z"l made a motion that he's pleased, so as to not embarass him as he left. Then Rabbeinu z"l taught the Torah: When someone says a joke it needs to be under three conditions: (1) He needs to think before speaking lest it be lewd speech, (2) and not praise himself, and (3) and not try to disparage someone.

[edit]

One time there was a question about Rabbeinu z"l on Pesach when a piece of matzah fell into the food, since we don't eat (gebrokt) the matzah in water (soaked), but he was not so strict about it.

He said regarding the matzah shmurah that the essence of shmirah (guarding) is in the pants (shmirah in di hozen). Meaning the main thing is tikkun habrit, one needs to be extremely stringent in this, but with other things no extra strictness is needed. Only, if it's kosher according to the Shulchan Arukh no great strictness is needed, and like our fellow chasidim say, that the acrostic (Lev. 18:5) "WeChaY bahem/you shall live in them" is Welo Chomrot Yeteiroth/ And no extra strictness.

They told, before Rabbeinu z"l, about the rav the tzadik Moh"ar Nachum of Chernobyl z"l, that when it came to lighting Ner Chanukkah (first time), he leapt up his full body length due to intensity of the light he felt. Rabbeinu z"l said this is because he did not prepare himself so much for this light beforehand for some time, like Rabbeinu z"l said, that he prepared himself for some time before, in hitbodedut and preparing vessels to receive the light, therefore when hadlakat ner chanukkah etc. came, no matter what light he felt he did not jump, for he already had vessels to receive. Likewise before each yom tov he prepared vessels in hitbodedut etc.

Rabbeinu z"l said that H"Y is so great that even what the doctor ruins H"Y can fix. (Der Eybishter iz azo groys az afilu vas der dakter makht kalye ken er oykh farrikhten) He also said if despite this they go to the doctor, in any case they should go to the very best doctor.

Rabbeinu z"l said when spirituality is connected to physicality, don't get into it (for example, even eating for a mitzvah, or other mitzvot that have physical pleasure, don't do much of it).

Pertaining to C"M #114

The story is well known, when Rabbeinu z"l wanted to move to Breslev, when the opposition from the Zeyde was strong (for he was then in Zlatipolye where the controversy started, as brought in Chayey Moharan). And then Rabbeinu z"l traveled from Zlatipolye (where he lived two years, and he said he suffered there double Gehenom, for the wicked are sentenced to Gehenom twelve months, but he was there twenty-four months, as brought in C"M) to Tulchin to his uncle the righteous holy rav R' Borukh z"l, to choose some rabbinate in some city close to him, and he replied to him that he has close to Tulchin the city Breslev ("a postal city"), and it will be a restful place for him. And immediately the holy rav R' Borukh wrote to Breslev that some honorable ones should come to Tulchin from their city to negotiate with Rabbeinu z"l. So then came R' Moshe Chinkes and R' Abraham Payes and they agreed with Rabbeinu z"l to give him a Rendel per week for his livelihood, and it was arranged to send for Rabbeinu z"l's household.

Now, in Breslev there was a chazan/cantor whom the city's people suspected of promiscuity, God save us. And he, when he saw Rabbeinu z"l was chosen for Admor in his city, started hanging around Rabbeinu z'l etc. and on the first Shabbat after Rabbeinu z"l entered Breslev, per the custom all the town's people were there and that whole Shabbat at almost every meal this chazan asked permission of Rabbeinu z"l to sing some melody per custom, but Rabbeinu z"l resisted it. Then Rabbeinu z"l taught the Torah [L"M] #3 "Whoever hears music from an evil musician it harms his service of the Creator" etc., and the townspeople understood that Rabbeinu z"l knew by his Ruach Kodesh the voice of rinnun [murmur, also singing] against him. Only on Motzaei Shabat Kodesh when he pressed him self so much to sing, Rabbeinu z"l said to him, now sing "Hamavdil" (Na zing hamavdil). He started singing "Chalfa `onat mitati" (the time of my bed has passed) instead of the written "Chalfa `onat minchati" (the time of my minchah has passed), and everyone said, "Hear what he witnesses against himself!" — causing great laughter and he was extremely embarrassed. And out of embarrassment and anger he departed and left the religion. After some time, one night around the time of Tevet that is called "Blinde Nakht" [Christmas] when the custom is to not learn, Rabbeinu z"l was sitting and telling his followers the story of a simple apostate man who went to their priests to make him a priest over some city, and he gave them a great deal of money for this and they ordained him and taught him how before each of their holidays he needs to lecture the masses the reason for the holiday and the miracle that happened in it etc. And on the holiday that they call the "Forty Blind" (Ukr. sorok svyatiye, forty holy [Lent], punned as sorok slepiye, forty blind) they taught him to tell them that forty blind men (meaning their saints) went in the wilderness and had but three loaves of bread which they ate forty days and had still left over. But he forgot how to say it and told the opposite, that forty blind men went three days in the wilderness and had but forty loaves of bread which they ate and still had left over. They had a big laugh (for what wonder can it be that they ate from forty loaves three days and still had left over?) and the priest was embarrassed.

Rabbeinu z"l finished, that now this chazan has returned to Judaism and become a complete Baal Teshuvah.

[edit]

Also at that time when Rabbeinu z"l taught that Torah [LM] #3 that speaks of music and the great loftiness of music at its root, he meant R' Chaikel his chazzan. For Rabbeinu z"l said he drew unto R' Chaikel, music from its source. And Rabbeinu z"l told him, "If you move with me to Breslev, the way that I'm a chidush in my element, you too will be a chidush in yours" etc. (Azo vi ikh bin a chidush in mayn zakh azo vest zayn a chidush in dayn zakh.) But he did not agree to this and didn't want it, and after Rabbeinu z"l's passing, one time Moharnat z"l encountered R' Chaikel and he told him that Rabbeinu z"l told him the aforementioned, and he described (that he despised this matter) to him how he (needed to walk) going with the large lamp to the town's homeowners and sing each one of them a song to take a collection from him during Chanukkah. (Vi er volt bedarft geyn mit daym groysen listeren tsi yeden bezonder in zingen im aniggun kdey tsi nemen ba im chanukah geld.) And R' Nathan z"l rebuked him and told him, "I thought nevertheless you regret this, but you still don't regret it and still hold by your chokhmah etc." There was a story, that one time he had some case and matters with some woman (with his father in law from Sakharov), and she scorned him and called him (shamefully) "Chaikel Sheygets," and he was shocked by this and said about it, "I did not imagine, for I thought if while I was together with Rabbeinu z"l as mentioned they called me Chaikel, then now they'll also call me Chaikel. But calling me 'Chaikel Sheygets' I did not think [would happen]. And one time he was in Berditchev and R' Mordekhai of Chernobyl z"l was available to them, and everyone brought him their requests etc., but R' Chaikel stood silent. R' Mordekhai of Chernobyl z"l said to him, "Chaikel, why are you silent and not making a request (in other words, 'What is your request?'). And R' Chaikel replied in a deep voice (Ps. 25:17), "Tzarot levavi hirchivu mimetsukothai hotsi'eni/ The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses." R' Mordekhai of Chernobyl z"l was very touched by this and said, "Look at the difference between you and a Breslever chassid." (For they each asked their thing, this one asking income, that one that his commerce should go well etc., and not one of you asking about his soul troubles, and the Breslever chassid calls out mainly for the afflictions of the soul etc.)

40 Rabbeinu z"l said, by the world (people say) that a kosher person cannot commit a transgression...

[edit]

Rabbeinu z"l said, by the world (people say) that a kosher person cannot commit a transgression, and if he commits a transgression he is not a kosher person. But by me (I say) the even a kosher person can also also fall into transgression, and when he stumbles he is still a kosher person. (Explanation: By the world, if he is a kosher person then surely he lacks nothing, so if he lacks something there's no hope he can be called a kosher person. But the truth is not so, for free will is great and even a kosher person has choice and a Yetzer haRa. And on the contrary, "The greater the person the greater his Yetzer" so it's possible he falls in some injustice or transgression. And when he falls in some injustice, God forbid, he can already no longer be a kosher man as before. But didn't Chazal say the contrary, "If you see a Talmid Chakham who transgressed in the day don't doubt him at night, for he's surely done teshuvah." Nevertheless he's a talmid chakham and how many mitzvoth he's performed, so over the injustice he's done he'll definitely do teshuvah. Enough for one who discerns.)

Rabbeinu z"l said, when one is healthy he must do and do and do (that is, in serving H'). But if he becomes sick God forbid then must do nothing but one mitzvah ("Wechai bahem/Live by them") and "Wenishmartem lenafshoteikhem/Guard your life." And the Besht z"l said when there's a small hole in the body there's a big hole in the soul. (Az es vert aklayn lekhl in dem guf wert agroyer lokh in der neshamah.) And [R' Nachman's] folowers said, Wechai bahem is acrostic WChY: Welo' Chomroth Yeterot/And no extra stringencies.

[edit]

Rabbeinu z"l told a story that the Besht z"l told of a porets [landowner/lord] who had an Israelite renter, and he had this renter a long time and later there was a time when he could not pay him, and he put the Israelite man and his household in the dungeon etc. And this porets had no children at all, and specifically after this bad affair the porets had a son. And this is the matter of hatzdakath hadin [acknowledging the judgement] of H"Y that is brought in (Ps. 36:6), "Tzidkatekha keharerrei-el mishpatekha tehom rabbah/ Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgement is the great abyss." (That is, even though Your judgement is the great abyss (meaning we do not see with our eyes the straight judgment of H"Y, on the contrary the judgement seems obscure and oppressed unto the great abyss —) Nevertheless one must know and hold firm that Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, that in this very thing the righteousness of H"Y is like the mighty mountains (extremely vast, and his goodness utterly great, and everything just and straight, even though we do not understand very much and we question H"Y, nevertheless it is forbidden to entertain doubts about H"Y at all, whatsoever, "ki kol-derakhaw mishpat, el-emunah we'ein `awwel, tzaddik we'yashar hu/ For all His ways are justice; a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is He."

46 Rabbeinu z"l said the "Tenth Test" is ANI [I].

[edit]

Rabbeinu z"l said the "Tenth Test" is ANI [I]. That is, all the tzadikim, when all their trials happen, their tenth trial (that is, the hardest and heaviest test of all tests is called the tenth test, as with Abraham Avinu a"h his tenth test was the binding which was the hardest of all his trials) is "I," that is, that there shouldn't be a controversy about me (in Yiddish, Der tsenter nisayon bin ikh). Even all the tzadikim when all the tests have gone (Az men geyt shoyn durkh ale nisyonot iz der grester nisayon oif mir nit tzi krigen). Similarly did Moharnat z"l himself say about himself: he already has a white beard and he's still a Breslev chassid (a vayse bord in nokh a Breslever chasid). That is, it's so hard to be a follower of Rabbeinu that he's amazed at himself that his beard is white and he's still a follower of Rabbeinu z"l, for this is harder than everything.

Rabbeinu z"l once saw some youths learning a great deal. He said to them, if you'd be my followers you'd learn less but more. (Ven ir zent tzi mir mekorev volt ir veyntsiger gelernt ober shemtir m'lerint). (For they would learn for its sake in sanctity, purity and fear and would make the torot into prayers.) Like it was with the rav the tzaddik of Berdichev z"l, whose father in law told him, "From the day I became a chasid I learn learn less than before." He replied to him, "Before you needed to learn a bit for your father in law, a bit for your mother in law, a bit for your wife, and a bit anyhow for H"Y as well, so you needed to learn a lot so it'll be enough for each one. Now that you learn just for H"Y... so whatever amount you learn is enough..."

49 The manners that Rabbeinu z"l had are inestimable.

The manners that Rabbeinu z"l had are inestimable. And Rabbeinu z"l said that kings should send their children to him to teach themselves manners. One time Rabbeinu z"l was with his followers at the table on the first night of Rosh Hashanah and they snatched up the haMotzi [bread] with honey. Rabbeinu z"l got mad and said, "Like little kids, haMotzi with honey!" (Azoy vi klayne yunglikh hamotsi mit honig!) And he left the table was no more at the table with them because of this.

If your will is to go just open the (kassa) chest, eight [rubles], take the money and travel. And Rabbeinu z"l said this one will go and arrive in E"Y and not that one, for the main thing is the will and aspiration.

Meaning, encouragement, even on Y"K which is a very great time for teshuvah, if it didn't go as it should he should encourage himself and whenever he does good it's good.

Pertaining to C"M #595

Rabbeinu z"l in his big trip was in Brod and also by many wealthy people, with each of whom he had some pertinence, as is known. One time he entered one house and found nobody there, and he went in another room, and so entered from room to room until finally finding sat there a man and woman playing chess. Rabbeinu z"l gazed at him and left the house, and this man was drawn after him and followed him. Rabbeinu z"l went out the city's bounds and R' Shmuel [of] Teplik who went with Rabbeinu z"l (Rabbeinu z"l got permission from this R' Shmuel's wife that he could accompany him an entire year) saw this person wanted to speak with Rabbeinu z"l. When Rabbeinu z"l got outside the city he went to the side and this man approached Rabbeinu z"l and spoke with him. R' Shmuel told that he didn't hear what they're speaking, just he saw two lines of tears falling from his eyes. When he finished talking with him he went home.

Similarly there was a story of Rabbeinu z"l's second match. Rabbeinu z"l visited the wealthy R' Yechezkiel Trachtenberg, his in-law from this second match. He entered. Sitting in the first room was this rich man's wife and her daughter, and they were talking about matches for her. When she saw Rabbeinu z"l she told her mother, "This is the kind of avrekh I would want." Rabbeinu z"l went inside to this rich man, spoke with him, and told him he lives in Breslev etc. and that he wants to marry his daughter, promising the huge amount for her ketubah of 600 rubles, and he gave the matching large amount. (Before Rabbeinu z"l's passing this wife of his sat in the adjacent room crying. Rabbeinu z"l said, "Why is she crying? Maybe she bewails my earthly body? The body is intact, no one's used it! (and Rabbeinu z"l had made the prenuptial condition that he'd have no relations with her...)

The wedding was in the small town of Vovchok next to Breslev in the month of Elul, and the in-law wanted specifically in Brod, for he was a very respected man there, but Rabbeinu z"l declined this and wanted the wedding specifically close to Breslev.

On one of the scheduled Shabbatot [when Rabbeinu z"l gave public lessons] they were waiting for Rabbeinu z"l a long time on Shabbat night for him to come to the table. He still hadn't come, and R' Shimon was there and he was a bit "heimish" (familial) with Rabbeinu z"l and he entered Rabbeinu z"l's room and saw Rabbeinu z"l standing surrounded by rivers of tears. He immediately closed the door, and later Rabbeinu z"l came to the table.

[A story] about Rabbeinu z"l: He saw Moharnat approach the table without netilat yadayim, meaning he did netilat yadayim at home then came here to finish the meal. Rabbeinu z"l said, "Like the gentiles say, 'Straight to the table.'" (And his followers are careful in this, to do netilat yadayim before approaching the table even if they did netilat yadayim at home).

[edit]

See #147.

A story that Tzirel told, that she heard from her grandmother Feige. This grandmother of hers was living in Medvedevka with her husband R' Meir since the time Rabbeinu z"l also lived there. They were very wealthy and held highly of Rabbeinu z"l, and she was more pious than her husband. They had no children, God save us, and she would always request of Rabbeinu z"l for children. One time she visited Rabbeinu z"l and asked of him for children, and Rabbeinu z"l stood in great deveykut/ communion and she saw Rabbeinu z"l was in great pains from this, for she recognized his movements, and she regretted having troubled Rabbeinu z"l so much. Then Rabbeinu z"l turned to her and ensured her a boy, and that's what happened. After some time he traveled through Zlatipolia and form there to Breslev. Although every time Rabbeinu z"l passed through Medvedevka he would turn home, at the end of Winter 5563 Rabbeinu z"l traveled to Kremenchug to arrange the wedding of his daughter Sarah'ke with her groom R' Yitzchak Ayzik the son of R' Leyb Dobrover who lived there. On the way there you pass through Medvedevka, but Rabbeinu z"l did not turn to their house as usual but instead went immediately to the BH"M and there at the same time was this son of theirs. RBIZ"L called him, viewed him a little, pinched his cheek (affectionately), and said "Woe, a pity," and immediately Rabbeinu z"l continued on his way to Kremenchug. This boy ran immediately to his mother and told her that he was here, the Rebbe R' Nachman (and she perceived something's not normal as he did not go to his house as he ought), and she asked him what did he tell you. He told he inspected him, then pinched his cheek and said, "Woe, a pity" etc. as mentioned. His mother started crying a great deal (for she understood what he meant). Shortly after, this boy passed away, and his mother would not take any consolation for him. She closed herself up in a special room and let nobody come in. After several days Rabbeinu z"l returned from Medvedevka and entered her house and they told her Rabbeinu z"l had come. She came out of her room. Rabbeinu z"l told her, "I remove mourning from you. Be the groomsman [bridesmaid?], and make the wedding." And she understood she'd have good from this. She undertook it and began preparing the wedding needs, and bought the wedding necessities, and bought a nice gift for the groom, and bought a candelabra for them that was one of a kind, and the wedding was like on of the governors, and Rabbeinu z"l stayed there till after Pesach (the wedding was on R"H Nissan). Before leaving Rabbeinu z"l told her, "You'll have a boy. Name him Nachman, and he will be a chidush/novelty in his thing like I am in my thing," and she told her to take care that right after he is born to give him to the wetnurse and she should come see him only during her days of purification. And so it happened, but she forgot to go see him. Then she remembered, and she was very panicked and went to Rabbeinu z"l. Rabbeinu z"l told her in these words, "The boy will live, however he'll not be the novelty I thought."

[edit]

R' Yudel made himself a new kapoteh [kaftan coat] and Rabbeinu z"l told him that in this kapoteh he'll already greet the Mashiach. After some time Rabbeinu z"l spoke with his followers regarding the redemption and said that for sure Mashiach will already not come for a hundred years. And R' Yudel asked him, "Didn't you tell me before..." Rabbeinu z"l replied, "That's what I said then, this I say now." And they inferred by their preceding conversation that it's because of the controversy caused by that person which had transpired meantime.

One time on Yom Tov when they were reclining with Rabbeinu, Rabbeinu z"l distributed wine to those reclining for simchath Y"T as is the custom. And he gave a small glass of wine to R' Nathan and Rav Naftali that they should split it. (Rabbeinu z"l hinted in this how to keep far from drinking wine and other intoxicating liquors, and just a little for simchath Y"T). Except on Purim it's a mitzvah to drink a lot for Tikkun haBrit as is known.

See Addition #140

Rabbeinu had two in-laws in Tcherin (Rabbeinu z"l's wife's brothers) and they were followers of Rabbeinu z"l. One was named R' Tzvi and one named R' Chaim, R' Tzvi was very preoccupied with Rabbeinu z"l, and was very poor. Nevertheless he never once asked of Rabbeinu z"l about parnassah/livelihood, for his main concern was tzarot hanefesh/ psychological suffering. One time he made up his mind he already has to ask about parnassah. When Rabbeinu z"l came to Tcherin this R' Tzvi wated for him until his followers left and he left his room. When everybody left he went to close the door because he feared lest somone come in and he'd be embarrassed that he's asking about parnassah. While walking he felt in his mind (R' Avraham son of R' Nachman said of him he was a great ba`al yeshuv hada`ath [had a very settled mind]), "What am I going to do, asking for parnassah, what will I do if Rabbeinu z"l asks me, 'You already lack nothing but parnassah?' So he again contemplated whether to not ask this. But also it's not good to hide from Rabbeinu z"l so therefore he went caught in his calculations. Rabbeinu z"l told him in these words, "You, I've already ensured about parnassah. Just Chaim, he's the pitiful one since he'll never have for Shabbat."

One time Rabbeinu z"l said, "I have three kinds of chassidim: (1) One that wants kolitch (remnants from challah) (2) one that wants to hear Torah and (3) one in whose heart the Rebbe burns in love. The Rebbe blessed R' Nathan that he be of the chasidim in the heart (of the Rebbe).

[edit]

Rabbeinu z"l was once in Terhovitza for a wedding by one of his followers. During the dancing a woman approached Rabbeinu z"l with audacious words asking he give her money to dance. Rabbeinu z"l told her she's... And she was pregnant then, then she had a son and named him Pinchas (Pinch'sel) and he fulfilled the Gemara's statement (B B 83b), "Midechatzif kulei hai shema` mineih/ Since he's that insolent, conclude he's [wicked]." For he was very brazen and raised great controversy on R' Yitzchak son in law of the Maggid of Terhovitza. In his final days he dispatched to this R' Yitzchak that he wants to make peace with him. R' Yitzchak replied, "Our peace is that we stay far away from eachother." One time he went out in the morning with news that he had found R' Yitzchak at night committing a transgression, meaning he was mocking him as usual. They told him, "Pinch'sel, who will believe you?" He told them in these words, "A thousand won't believe, but one will, so it'll all be worth it!"

Pertaining to the hashmata in C"M #552

Hershel Ostropoler, who was a known satirist (ridiculer), was amusing the RH"Tz R' Borukh z"l. Rabbeinu z"l said of him he's a fallen chassid (meaning he used to be a chassid but did not manage to strengthen himself against the downfalls and he fell into mockery, which is the gateway of the S"A, and Rabbeinu said a fallen chassid is worse than a mumar [apostate]). So Rabbeinu z"l came and Rabbeinu gave a sign to his students that from whatever he says do not react at all and have no interaction with him. He wanted to specifically bring Rabbeinu z"l and his students into the ridicule but was completely unable and they made no response, as planned, and he left.

74 Story of the Carriage:

[edit]

Story of the Carriage:

One time Rabbeinu z"l told Moharnat: There will yet be such a thing, that you'll travel in a carriage of the rich. (Du vest nokh amal farin in a karete!) Moharnat was very afraid of this, lest he undergo the trial of being a mefursam/celebrity, God forbid. One time he was walking, and didn't have a carriage to get to the holy gravesite, so he went by foot. In the middle of travel a rich man came with his carete and saw Moharnat is going by foot. He asked to sit with him on the carriage, and so he did. And he was full of joy from this, for Rabbeinu z"l's words already came to pass, and he'll no longer have to fear the trial of a mefursam.

[edit]

In Medzhibuzh there was a row of stores and the landlord would lease to one person who was appointed to rent to each store. And the descendants of the Besht had a chazakah [presumptive hold] on this. At that time the great R' Barukh was muchzak. In 5567 Rabbeinu z"l dispatched [instead] R' [omitted] to rent the stores for him. He traveled in great joy to perform Rabbeinu z"l's mission, and wore Shabbat clothes and R' Borukh saw him from the window dressed in Shabbat clothes for Rabbeinu z"l and he was irritated by this, and he cursed him that he have a year of fever, and he came to Rabbeinu and told it to him. Rabbeinu z"l told him irritatedly, "In this, this way go despite my uncle." And nevertheless he told him that his curse is good for him, for he was supposed to pass away that year, and now he'll be forced to live in order to fulfill his will; and keivan she`avrah hashanah bat-dina batel dina (since a cursed year has passed, the judgment has passed).

76 (The Villager)

[edit]

One time Rabbeinu z"l told a parable, of a king who went traveling with his officers to catch game, which they call lovlya (Rus. ะปะพะฒะปั). He got down from his vehicle and was mentally occupied with his matters of state, until he got lost deep in the forest, among the big thick trees that are there. And they stayed by the vehicle, and meanwhile rain and hail mixed came down very strong, really flooding, and the ministers ran to find the king, but in such flooding and darkness it's impossible to search and or find. So they got in the vehicle to save themselves from the hail and snow [?]. And then king meanwhile broke from this thought and contemplation and looked for a place to take shelter, for it was truly life threatening. Until he came to the house of a gentile, keeper of the forest, and went to him and asked if he could lodge by him, and he agreed. Meanwhile the king got very cold and he asked him for other clothes, and he dressed him in his simple garments, in pelts [unfinished fur] and so forth, at placed him by the hearth to get warm. Meanwhile he got hungry for food, and asked him for food, and he gave him black bread and grits [porridge], and he felt all the tastes in this food. He had never tasted such food at home! Meanwhile sleep overtook him and he slept there by the hearth until morning.

Now the ministers, since the rain had stopped they left the vehicle and looked for the king until morning, until they got to this house and they asked the gentile if someone had been by him. He told them that a man came, and slept by the hearth, and they went and saw it's the king, and they couldn't wake him due to royal conduct, so they waited for him until he awoke. Immediately they gave him kingly respect in fear and awe, and asked to dress him in royal clothes and take him in the vehicle, to bring him home and crown him in the royal crown. But he was unwilling unless the gentile takes him in these clothes on his cart, with his oxen, and he will bring him to the royal palace and he will crown him in the royal crown and seat him on the throne. And so it was: They loaded his cart with the oxen and the king sat near him, and he pulled the cart and shouted at the oxen as he always did, "Dya! Dya! Dya!" with no reaction by the king, and in this way they got to the royal palace, and he seated him on the royal throne and crowned him with the royal crown.

The king told him: In reward for saving me so much from death, ask of me whatever thing and I'll do it for you. He asked of him a silly thing: Since from his house to Odessa is a far trip, many hundreds of parsahs, and his children bring wares to Odessa and they have great toil, for the way is long and it takes them days and years, and the wind blows on the way so they're left with nothing but a bit of wind, so I ask that you make the way shorter. The king promised him, and ordered to make the parsahs longer, for example if the parsah was twenty kilometers, they'll now make the parsah forty kilometers, therefore the trip will be shorter, because where it was forty parsahs will now be twenty parsahs.

Rabbeinu z"l concluded: Because at the end of days when there will be a flood [of apostasy], and the Shekhinah will find no escape or shelter except with the simple people doing some kind of simple service for instance saying a chapter of Tehillim, or doing some mitzvah, and they'll enliven her more than all the luxuries, then specifically these simple people will walk her to the kingship.(Even those who don't at all feel that they're travelling with the king, like this gentile who drove with his oxen and shouted, "Dya!" Nevertheless they will crown him (the Mashiach) with the royal crown. Just, they should be smart, and not ask a silly thing).

One time there was a country, and the etiquette was every three years they'd get a different king, as follows: They went out to a field, and the first person they found they'd king, even a blind or lame. One time they went out, and were first met with a betler/beggar who was a drunkard, and immediately accepted him with honor and brought him to the royal palace, removed his clothes and dressed him in royal clothes and crowned him with the royal crown, and he was drunk and was unaware of everything, and fell asleep. When he woke up and saw he's in the king's palace dressed in royal clothes and the musicians are playing, he was very amazed whether it's a dream. Doesn't he remember lying in a heap? He struck his finger, to tell if it's a dream or not, and saw it's no dream. So he thought he's really the king; only his being a beggar was a dream. But he remembered that he fought with another beggar and got a wound. He saw he now has a wound, so he saw they're both no dream; he was confused by this. He invented something new: to go to the other building where there are books and see if he understands the books — this will be a sign the king is true and the beggar is a dream, and if not &mdahs; he doesn't know what he is. He looked at the books and couldn't understand the writing inside. He came to a decision and said: It's true that I'm king, and whatever I don't understand, it's because nobody understands, and the books are just ornamental.

Rabbeinu z"l concluded: That's how it is with the mefursamim shel sheker (false celebrities). For they see people give them such honor and they don't understand why, and they get confused whether they're celebrities or it's a dream. And if it's true, why do they not understand a thing? So they're pressed to conclude they are truly tzadikim, and whatever they don't understand, it's because no tzaddik understands and knows. This is how they blemish emunath hakhamim/ faith of the sages.

78 Regarding the nonsense of needless toil for livelihood...

[edit]

Regarding the nonsense of needless toil for livelihood, Rabbeinu z"l said in these words: This is a big secret in the world: You eat for free, you also work for free (Es iz a groyse sod in der velt: men est umzist un me arbet umzist). And he told the following story about this: There was a mighty charitable man, one who hosted wayfarers (he was particular in the mitzvah of hospitality), and whoever entered his home, their every request was filled: food, drink, sleep, everything like king means, cheerfully. And because of this all people knew of him, and everyone went to him and would leave with desires satisfied. Not far from him lived also a very rich man, but a very stingy, who gave not even a slice of bread to a poor man. One time a poor man — who had not eaten several days — heard about this rich man and his big generous heart, so he pounded his feet to get to him to revive his hungry lifeforce, but "batar `anya azla `anyutha" (a mountain of poverty follows the poor man), for it so happened he came specifically to the house of this stingy rich man, and he thought he's the aforementioned rich man, and be started bowing knee to him with pleading and begging and all kinds of respectful expressions etc.: "Aren't you the great charitous man whose generosity of heart is inestimable" etc. etc., so that he give him food. And this stingy man was surprised by this, and understood the poor man thought he's the charitable one, and told him: "It's true, I want to give you food, but first do a little work, then they'll let you eat. He started doing several kinds of work for him, cutting down wood or drawing water. He worked for him several hours till he got quite worn, then he showed him the aforementioned charitous man's house and told him to go there and there they'll feed him. And he thought it's the house of the charitous man whom he served, that after he worked for him, at the other house he has they'll feed him. As soon as he entered, servants greeted him, took him and washed him, and immediately brought a table with all kinds of food and tasties, all with great respect, like a servant to his master.

In the middle of the meal he said, "It's true I worked and toiled hard, but this is worth it!" (Emes take zikh angeharevet, ober es iz keday.) The charitous rich man said to him, "My good beloved, where did you toil? Behold, you didn't work by me!? (Mayn guter froynd, vi hat ir zikh angeharevet? Bay mir hat ir dokh nit geharevet?) He told his about the rich man who worked him. He told him," You worked for nothing, and also you eat for nothing. Where you worked you didn't eat, and where you eat you did not work. (Yedidi ir hat ge'arvet umzist, un ir est umzist, dart vu ir hat ge'arvet hat ir nit gegesen, un dart vu ir est hat ir nit ge'arbet). Rabbeinu z"l concluded: Poeple work for nothing, and and they eat for nothing. Where they work they don't eat, and where they eat they don't work. (Men arbet umzist, un men est umzist. Dart vu men arbet est men nit, un dart vu men est arbet men nit.)

The parable is: Man, for his livelihood or other needs, he toils and works in that which he thinks his livelihood or other needs depends on. But really it's as mentioned above; all is from Hashem Yithbarakh, and when the time comes (or when he accomplishes by his prayer or trust), then anyway it comes easily to his mouth, literally. And when he's a fool and works with all his strength and toil, it's all for nothing, for the work doesn't help him at all, because where he works, in that place he doesn't eat (varum dart vu er arbet, est er nit), for nothing comes from it (varum es lazt zikh gar nit oys darfun acharey kol ha`avodah), and if he didn't work, he'd also be given (for the giver, by him no work is needed), and like written in the Zohar (Num. 11"8): "Shattu ha`am welaketu/ The people went about and gathered it" — in shetut, folly, meaning with the mann (Manna) there were great men of faith and trust who didn't toil at all for the mann, it just fell in their mouths; and people lacking emunah, toiled and collected all day, and in the end there was only an "`Omer per head (Ex. 16:16), like the one who didn't toil. And it's brought in the books, that even now it's the same regarding livelihood, that according to what's allotted for a man to prosper that's what he'll prosper, whether he does oppressive work all day or doesn't work, rather for a trivial reason Hashem Yithbarakh summons him his livelihoodืฅ And whoever has strong and courageous trust in H' and does not want to decease from serving Hashem Yithbarakh at all, and holds firm in faith and trust that Hashem Yithbarakh will sustain him, and is resolved to stand in all kinds of trials in this — definitely Hashem Yithbarakh will finish for him according to his will. Like we see, that one can sit all day in a store and sell nothing, and when the time comes, in a quarter hour he profits for the whole time. This is also how it usually goes, that when one needs something, and toils for this by someone by whom he thinks he'll attain it, and in the end nothing comes out of it (lazt zikh oys gar it) and he worked for nothing, and Hashem Yithbarakh helps him from a different place, from somewhere he didn't expect and didn't occur to him at all that from that place his salvation would come to him (un Hashem Yitbarakh helft im fun ayn ander art, vas er har gor nit ayngefalen az fun dart ken kumen zayn yeshua). So may Hashem Yithbarakh save us soon! Amen so be His will.

Stories about Rabbi Nathan ztz"l

79 Udel Rabbeinu z"l's daughter came once to R' Nathan and told him a dream that the synagogue in Breslev was full of people...

[edit]

Udel Rabbeinu z"l's daughter came once to R' Nathan and told him a dream that the synagogue in Breslev was full of people and they stood outside the door and were saying there that Rabbeinu z"l is supposed to come, and they decided amongst them to not let him enter. Meanwhile Rabbeinu z"l arrived and went to the synagogue in his usual. The first one standing there who was supposed to not let Rabbeinu z"l enter, when Rabbeinu z"l got to him he immediately turned aside. <missing> Nevertheless he said I'll not let Rabbeinu z"l enter. When Rabbeinu z"l got to him he too turned aside. The third one said, "But I'll not let him enter!" And so he got through all of them and Rabbeinu z"l went in his usual until his place.

[edit]

One time Rabbeinu z"l's daughter asked who opening the Aron before Kol-Nidrei pertains to. They said it pertains to R' Nathan, and she replied, "Are you for real? R' Nathan's dreams are of H"Y!" (His followers explain this matter, that by a person's dream you can recognize him, for that's where his mind is that day, so it relaxes the brain. Whatever the man likes he dreams of most. And then are seen the ahavot nefulot ["fallen loves"]. But he ought to have dreamt of R' Nathan in order to understand who the opening really pertains to, since R' Nathan would dream of H"Y as it were. Enough for a discerning person.)

Regarding onions, which Rabbeinu z"l ordered to not eat, there was a story about that. One tine R' Nathan and R' Naftali were traveling and one of them took out an onion and was going to eat it. The other said, "Behold the Besht said to not eat onion except on Shabbat." The other replied, "I know nothing, only what I hear from Rabbeinu z"l. From Rabbeinu z"l I have not heard this." When they came to Rabbeinu z"l they asked him and he quipped, "And on Shabbat it's OK to eat something harmful?!"

One time Rabbeinu z"l was traveling with R' Nathan and dogs approached them and barked. Rabbeinu z"l stuck his head out the carriage and told them, "I know, I know, I know who you are," and they went their way. One time R' Nathan was traveling solo (after Rabbeinu z"l's passing) on the same road and again dogs came out. R' Nathan told them, "When I traveled with Rabbeinu z"l you came out and Rabbeinu z"l said, 'I know I know I know who you are' and you went your way. Now I say 'I don't know don't know don't know!'" And they went their way.

One time he brought to his house a guest very despised and his son refused to sit at the table because he was disgusted by him. Moharnat hit him to make him sit specifically at the table.

The righteous rav R' Levi Yitzchak the rav of Berditchev ztz"l, his service and prayer was always with very great and awesome enthusiasm, as is known, especially on the holy Yom haKippurim. One time he had some guest on Yom haKippurim and on Motzaei Y"K he gave him coffee to drink, and forgot and in place of coffee used tobacco, pouring a glass of "coffee" like this for himself and a glass of "coffee" like this for his guest too. He drank this "coffee" and didn't notice at all, but his guest was unable to drink. The rav of Berditchev z"l asked him why he's not drinking, and he replied it's not coffee but tobacco. The rav of Berditched ztz"l was very disturbed and he said he doesn't understand how a Jewish man on Motzaei Yom Kippur can feel and differentiate between coffee and tobacco! (Ikh far shtey nit vi azoy a yid ken motzei yom kippur nokh azo yom hakadosh filin a chiluk tsvishen kafe in tsvishen tabak!)

[edit]

Similarly once there was a story like the above, with the rav the tzaddik of Berditchev z"l. The rav of Volodnik when he was still a boy was by the rav of Berditchev z"l, and he tested the latter's learning, and engaged in pilpul [disputative debate] with the Tzadik of Beritchov z"l, and didn't want to admit the truth. The Rav of Berditchev z"l told him, "No, you're still immature, and you haven't got intellect." And Mercy save us, he went insane, and later when the R' Mordekhai of Tchernobyl z"l was in Berditchev and they went with him to visit him, to help him, he took him in public and stood him on a tree stump that was there, and told him to sing some song of the Rav the Tzadik of Berditchev z"l (because the Rav of Volodnik in his boyhood was with the RH"Tz of Berditchev z"l a great deal, and knew how to sing his songs etc. quite well). He sang some song so hard that his face got sweaty, and the R' Mordekhai of Tchernobyl z"l wiped his face with a napkin and said, "Berditchover Rav, have pity on him" (in these words: Berditchover Rav, hat oyf im rachmanut). (For then it was already after the Rav of Berditchover z"l's passing). And so he told him to sing another song of the Rav of Berditchov Z"l, and it happened again, that he wiped his face of sweat and said, "Berditchover Rav, be good to him". And thus several times.

The RH"Tz of Berditchev z"l said (regarding the redemption) that we can say "TEKA` [5570=1810] beshofar." Rabbeinu z" said, What [good reason is there] to say that? Rather, we can say "TeRaCheM..." [5648=1888]. (In other words, Vos yen ken zagen. Ela ma'i men ken zagen Terachem). And R' Avraham z"l said that this thought of Rabbeinu z"l is not simple. Definitely there is hinted [by the year spelling] some salvation in the year [1888]. In this year was revealed the Techelet by the Rav of Radzin (and R' Avraham z"l had more hints from Rabbeinu z"l). And the train to Uman was completed, whereas before it required huge trips etc. And interest in "Zionism" started to have an effect in the world, to move to Eretz Yisrael.

[Said the blogger Simcha NaNach, there are several opinions how old the Holy Sabba R' Yisrael Ber Odesser ZTzLLH"H was. There's an opinion he was 114, and there's an opinion he was under 100. But many times the Sabba said of himself (and printed in the book Saba Yisrael) he's K"W years 106. And when he passed from this world it was Chai (18) Cheshvan 5755, according to the count that he was 106, where by all opinions one must admit that in some aspect this was his age, because that's what he said explicitly, it comes out that the Holy Sabba was born in the year 5648! And for this we don't need all the abovementioned stretches, for there's good reason to say that what Rabbeinu z"l said that we could say the Geulah will be in year 5648 was because he meant the birth of Yisrael Sabba ZYAWKY"A.]
