'Sound the Shofar of Faith'

Remember very, very well, every single day, what is being done with us in This World. For we have come to This World at this time; in the sevenith year of seventh century of the sixth millennium, and very soon Hashem willing the Geula will unfold, as we are now at 5770, and there is now only the 20 years, til the begining of ressurection of the dead, according to the latest date of, 210 years before the end. we are close, please Hashem!

It has been now nearly 200 years, since a very unique individual, and we are called by his name, of blessed memory Rebbe Nachnan of Bresslev. We who were once the most wretched and scorned among the Holy people of Israel themselves are now the torch bearers in this generation, may we be worthy. Remember this and take it to heart! Strengthen yourselves and be brave! It is no insignificant matter! As a result of this we are obligated to thank and praise Hashem's great and awesome Name, that He has saved us from the great heresy and delusion that now abounds in the world today. It is only by His loving grace that we have been saved from this error and confusion at a time such as this! Do look at the news it will make you dizzy!

So what can we give back to Hashem for all the good He has shown us? This alone should encourage you, as I write this it is only written with Hashem's salvation and help and with tears, If you only knew... And now too, my heart is filled with tears and with boundless joy over everything that I and that every one of you suffer, collectively and individually, 'for this is to cleanse us'. For I know from a distance the soul's pain of every single one of you. What can I say? IF only you knew. Deep sigh, OY!

If I wanted to tell you,... that all of what one hears and sees, as one travels through different places, and happenings... a thousand pages would not be enough. And through all of this, that we all go through we still "desire to fear your Name" and deep in our hearts we are all crying out very, very bitterly over how far we are from our ultimate purpose. 'But all of us like birds are all trapped', 'and like those overcome by a floods'... With all the urges and negative character traits espeacally 'the preoccupation', with earning a livelihood, which is all the while getting harder to do! "The lust for money, and power, and honor, and not to mention the other lust, is becoming stronger all the time. And worse yet and beyond everything else, the most painful thing of all is to see that most of us have become terribly discouraged with ourselves and have given up completely, saying "there is no hope" and "there is no one to help", as if it is no longer possible for them to think properly about "HATACHLIT" 'the true purpose of this life', and for a number of reasons, it is impossible for them to raise themselves up. The main reason being, is the great controversy that surrounds us, the world has become so conveluted and twisted. It is all because of This Galut, that they are unable to receive and nurse from the sweet nectar, the lovely, pure words of awesome truth that give life to all and inspire all the fallen souls, as it is written in the lesson "Sound the Shofar of Faith" (likutey Moharan II,5).

So it is imparetive to remember, and remember well, all the loving kindness and miracles that Hashem has done for us, everyday! You may not, very well not know, how much a person must out of nessesaty strengthen himself every minute! As our master, and teacher and Rebbe, of blessed memory, cried out in a deep, strong voice, "GEVALT!"... "AIN SHUM YEUSH BOLAM KLAL"! Please do not give up on yourselves! There is no such thing as despair in this world at all! The main thing is to strengthen ourselves to be joyful in all, and by any means you can, and know that Hashem will and, can help you, and know He is the only one who can . We need to but reach out to Him and cry out and pray! Let us rejoice in His salvation alone!

Shalom

Help Bring Moshiach

Truth Torah and the Emunah way

I got this morning, normal day 4:30 am out of bed shower, coffee, prayers then to learning. Ok so? well I have a seder; Parsha shuvah, Early Prophets, Later Prophets, Tehillim, Mishlei and something from the writings at the moment Yov. The Kitzur Shulchan Oruch, Likutey Morharan and, and so on and so forth. I try to keep up a heavy learning load, this is not to Hashem forbid to impress anyone at all. It's just this morning all of the learning is connected. mamash! So I'm writing the message that was formed by this learning.

Parsha Korach the fifth aliyah. B'midbar 17:16-24; on the very heels of this unprecedented miracle of the ground opening up and swallowing all the rebels, we were still complaining. It boggles the mind. Now Aharon's staff has blossomed, proof he was was the chosen one, but no! We still are crying. You have to ask yourself, where is the Faith? We see that faith has no connection to miracles period! We still wanted to experience Hashem only the way we were comfortable with. We could not understand that it was due to our blemished faith that we were forced to travel in the wilderness. and all the difficulties and hardships were rectifications for our idolatry. All 'atzuf' sadness and worry is a result of us operating under B'chirah free will, as soon as we let the slim of the primordial snake that surrounds our Hypothalamus, IE the 'Ego' the little g-d, we are committing 'avodah zorah' why? We have pushed total and complete belief and reliance on Hashem off the throne and placed this little g-d there instead. Wow Reb Nati that harsh, how can you say such a thing? 'You shall have no other g-ds before Me!' You see the snake comes along and convinces you to use your blemished intellect and as soon as you pause to think about it. Bam, slam he pushes you against the tree of knowledge of good and evil and your done! You lose the tree of life which is pure Emunah.

Yehoshua 14; the pasuk that stuck me was 8 Caleb speaking,"My brethren who went up with me shattered ht e heart of the people, But I fulfilled the will of Hashem, my Elokim" There were cry about the gift that Hashem gave them,'No give the beach and pina koladas' "its not what we thought it was."
Ezekiel Again and again Hashem instructs Ezekiel to tell the people of their history and how He has over looked their short comings over and over again. Til the there was no choice but punish us so that He did not desecrate his name in front of the nations. So the elders said we no longer have to serve Hashem! They were wrong, as it is brought in pasuk 32-33 of perek 20.

All our attempts at assimilation will fail! Because Hahsem says I will not let you!!!,
'Thus says Hashem/Elokim: As for what has entered your minds-It shall not be! as for what you say 'We will be like the nations, like the families of the lands who worship wood ans stone, as I live the word of Hashem I swear that I will rule over you with a strong hand and with outstretched arm and with out poured wrath. I will take you out of all the nations and gather you from all the lands to which you were scatted, I will bring to the wilderness of the nations'. Rashi says; 'I will force you to submit to My authority.'

Now in chapter 22 an exact description of today here in Israel; Thus says Hashem/Elokim Jerusalem I am hastening her time of judgment. who has fashioned intellectual and political, military idols within herself, and through this you have become contaminated thus you have brought your judgment days near and have reached the limit of your years. Therefore, I have made you a shame to the nations, and a disgrace for all lands. Those near and those far from you will degrade you. Oh you of contaminated of name, Oy great confusion. Now a descriptive time stamp ' Behold, the princes of Israel each act within you for the sake of his on power, in order to shed blood to separate you from your mother and father and toward the stranger in our midst they have acted oppressively the orphan and widow they have wronged. My Torah teaching they have scorned and my Sabbath's have they desecrated. Slanders and murders, they ate of idols 'treif' and plotted against me on all your mountains, evil schemes they uncovered a 'father nakedness with you' they coerced women amongst you during they menstruation impurity. They committed adultery with their neighbors wives, and committed perverse acts with children. They take bribes and murder, they take usury and interest to enriching themselves and their friends and with all extorted money. They have totally forgotten Me! the word of Hashem/Elokim.'

What am I to say? it says it all. But now hear is the what the tzaddik says:

Tehillim 128 A song of ascents, Praiseworthy is each person who fears Hashem, who walks in His ways. when you eat the labor of your hands you are praise worthy, and it is well with you. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in the inner chambers of your home; your children will be like olive shoots surrounding your table. Behold for so is blessed the man who fears Hashem. May Hashem bless you from Tzion, and may you gaze upon the goodness of Jerusalem, all the days of your life. and may you see children born unto your children, peace upon Israel.

Mishlei 26 excerpts 'and a rod is for the backs of fools... Answer a fool according to his foolishness, least he be wise in his own eyes...The words of a complainer are like blows, and they descend to the chambers of the stomach...'

Yov 7;'Behold man has an allotted time upon the Earth; his days are that of a hired hand...My days fly faster than a weaver shuttle,... remember that my life is like the wind...What is man...'


Now likutey Moharan for this day is torah #40 It really put it in perspective.

'We see then that all a person's journey's are because of a blemish in faith. and this is idolatry.'
Rebbe Nachman is tell us straight up that pure faith in Hashem entails absolute belief that Hashem created everything and sustains everything, and everything that occurs is governed by divine Providence. Any negation of this, even the slightest degree, comes under the category of idolatry period!!! IE. the belief in the efficacy of some other power or force or set of rules. We must believe that Hashem provides everyone with their livelihood. He does this through the agency of Divine Providence. Even if a person were to stay cloistered in his home, extending no effort whatsoever, his livelihood would still be provided for him. Belief in this is pure faith in Hashem. It is become because of our sins, and due to our lack of faith, the general belief that a man has to "get out" and earn his living. The Rebbe states, this is a form of idolatry, the misplace belief in the efficacy of 'one's' own efforts and labor of 'one's' own hands. And so lacking perfect faith, And thus a person must indeed travel to earn a living. But there is another way to translate "get out." For we need to know, to really understand, that the way things are today in the world is not how they were meant to be. And know if you strive to live the way Hashem meant. And if you do you will be alone, or at least in a very small minority. 'a remnant'. We were given the example of our forefathers for a reason. What it's not all just nice stories? NO! For each person is destined from on high to be in a particular place at a particular time. At that place and time there is something he must rectify. There are sparks of holiness scattered throughout the world. Every time a Jew comes to some place and preforms a mitzvah there, he elevates these sparks of Holiness. thus the journey although precipitated by some lack of faith and hence the need for rectification becomes the means through which to elevate and strengthen fallen faith.

Rebbe Nachman teaches that faith is nurtured through the receiving of good advice and this is only received from the Tzaddik and only through his connection to the tzaddik can he receive enduring counsels, as in "enduring counsels nurturing faith" From this we learn that unfaltering advice fortifies and buttresses faith. Reb Nosson explains that in the main, people travel because they lack sufficient livelihood, and they are lacking livelihood because the lack good advice, and they are lacking this advice because of the their lack of faith. Faith in the Tzaddik.

Not only does idolatry or blemished faith and bring on exile, it also causes a reduction of sefa IE difficulty in earning a livlihood, bringing on a curse instead of a bracha, which fosters enmity and malevolence. this is the basis of every personal and national conflict in the world today and through out all history.

(Deuteronomy 11:16,17) "Take care not... to serve the g-ds of others...for there will be no rain...and then soon you will be exiled from the good land that Hashem has given you."

All the sorrow of this world is because of a lack of faith. and exile and having to travel are all
result of ones lack of faith. All of Israel's blessings come as a result of rain. when there is no rain it is a sure sign that there is insufficient faith. when there is a lack of rain there is a lack of food and when there is a lack of food the is a lack of peace. Just look at the world today!

Please! Recalibrate yourselves to so you and begin to understand the truth.

Understanding the 'Tzaddik HaEmet' from Chosen Mishpat

Have ever thought about why we keep Halachot? Well these are my words, as I have not heard them else where, but I'm sure I'm not the first to contemplate this.
I believe that they are a physical represention of the spiritual. A Kal V'Chomer if you prefer. For example the laws of, Pikadon, an object deposited with custodian for safekeeping, Our Neshoma's were deposited in our goof's for safekeeping so me must take care of Them. Or for example the laws of, Oseh Shaliach Leg'bos Chovo, laws regarding appointing someone to collect a debt. I have of recently been reflecting on how these laws are mirrored in the realm of the spirit.

I've been learning Chosen Mispat, The fourth section of the Shuchan Aruch dealing with Judaical law. Simon קכא' 121' The Laws of appointing a Shaliach/messenger are very curious to me as they would certainly apply to 'Moshiach', We know that Hashem is also bound by His law so to speak. So what applies here also applies in the realm of the spirit, if only for the sake of our comprehension. If we approach these laws in this way, we may come to understand the role of the 'Tzaddik HaEmet' which is different from Moshiach by the way, as Hashem's Shaliach/messenger. Because we have Eliyahu HaNavi, Moshiach ben Yosef, whom is here in each dor, Moshiach ben Dovid which comes to point us to Moshe Moshiach the Tzaddik Ha Emet, who is the righteous Redeemer, that we yearn for. The whole of this is a long draw out process which we need not explore. And we could not understand all of it anyway. We need but to trust in the fact at Hashem is in control and all will be for the best, and that we will all witness it very soon. with all that said, This is lengthy it will take some time to develop this concept so it can be understood in general. There are many great and lofty 'inyanim' in what you would think to be dry law. Hashem gave all of us this so with everything we do or say we should remember that He and He alone is the creator of the world. I'm literally on fire after coming to understand just a little of what is here.

Rebbe Nachman of Breslev z"l, through Reb Nosson Sternhartz z''l probably put it into the most sense and in the most simple of terms that I have encountered. in His Likutey Halachot of Chosen Mishpat, Oseh Saliach Leg'Bos Chovo.

Likutey Halachot Chosen Mishpat, The laws of appointing a Shaliach/messenger to collect his loan/debt.

Halacha aleph: And the one who makes a Shaliach makes in front of two witness and says he 'ploni' is responsible for the loan. And these two witness are and aspect times two doubled and this is an aspect of lashon hakodesh. And 'IT' The 'Holy Tongue' sustains everything. Because all of the world was made with Lashon HaKodesh. Like it is written: "ud'varayv chaim v'kayamim laahd" and His is an aspect (davarim19): according to two (mouths) of two witness you will establish a thing." only on the testimony of two is a davar established.

Halacha bet:
Ot aleph; 'Money is the responsibility of the borrower until it reaches the hand of the lender or his Shaliach' as we see from simon koof chaf and koof chaf aleph of Chosen Mishpat.

And means according to the Miarmar of Rebbenu z"l, "B'Chatzotzrot (with trumpets) and the sound of the shofar shout out before Hashem, The King." "Now, each and every person must say: " the entire world was created only for my sake" (sanhedrin 37a). Consequently, because the world was created for my sake, I must constantly look into and consider ways of making the world better; to provide the missing in the world and to pray on it's behalf'" (Likutey Moharan 5).

The only why to do this is through prayer. But a person needs to know how to pray. He needs to know difference of, if it is before Gezar din 'divine sealed strict judgement' or after the Gezar din. And how do you know this? The only way to get to this level is to preform each mitzvah with such tremendous shimcha/joy/enthusiasem, and just for the sake of the mitzvat without any reward in this world or the next. Without any regards for his olam haba. This is the difference in the level of Nevuah/prophesy of Moshe Rabenu and the nevuah of the other prophets. Because the one who does the mitzavot for the receiving of merit in Olam Haba this is the aspect of 'sight that is dimmed' like when someone sees something from a distance. Yes he does the mitzvot for the reward to come 'for he sees in the distance'. He is in effect waiting to get paid. And this payment is called navi, 'prophet', for this person can attain only this lower level of vision. But the person who can do all the mitzvot with real simcha, with a tremendous simcha and wants no merit but that of the mitzvat itself. He is unpleasent at the thought of recieving a reward for this mitzvah. i.e. like when you do a favour for someone and they want to pay you for it, it takes away from joy of helping this person. It cheapens it. This is the aspect of nevuah in the aspect of clear vision, at this level a person can have the Daat to understand whether it is before a Gezar Din or after Gezar Din. The mitzvot are the unifications of Hahsem, The mitzvot are our way of unification with Hashem yitbrech. This is how we connect to Hashem and through the simcha of doing the mitzvot without any other gratification, we are able to connect to the joy of Hashem, that He has from His creation. "WOW"!!! And from this you can to know/understand/spiritually sense, whether it is before or after the Gezar Din and know how to pray to rectify the world, and to fulfill all that is lacking. "Which by the way is our responsibility in this life, in this world". How does this work? What's lacking in the world? The only way to fill any 'Chesron'/lack/void in this world is only through Prayer! See Torah heh of likutey Moharan for more. In short you have to know how to pray, if Hashem forbid someone is poor, is that a 'Gezar Din' or is it that after he makes a tikun/recification, he'll become rich? It effects the way you would pray for him to know on what side of the line he is holding.

Ot Bet; The words of Reb Nosson he explains here. Here the Ichkar is the shlemut HaAdom. What is the shlemut/compeletness of a man? When he can go to the level of doing the mitzvot of Hashem with such simcha that his only reward is the unification with Hashem, nikkal with hashem. his only olam haba is the mitzvot itself, you see when we are doing a mitzvot b'simcha we are nikal with Hashem the Ari HaKodosh said about himself "that he only merited to his level by doing the mitzvot b'simcha". At this level then he can know whether it is before or after the Gezar Din and then is able to fulfill the void in this world. This is the only way we can repay our debt to Hashem. there is no greater thing in the world! Gevalt!!!

And this is the same aspect of being able to repay his debt, this is all the same concept. For a person does not fulfill his obligation until the money actually reaches the hand of the lender or his shaliach who is like him. Reb Nosson explains, all the mitzvot is the same level as we are repaying or obligations, for we have a obligation to preform the mitzvot. what do we say when someone does a mitzvat? 'Hu yotzeh ha chovo' he has fulfilled his obligation. Yes it is a chov you and I are bound by obligation to preform the Mitzvot! Why? I'll tell you. "For Hashem yitbarech created all the world from the heavens to the lowest hell. and all of it soley for Israel, and the purpose of the Torah. You see the only reaseon that Hashem created the world is for israel to preform the Torah. like it says, "B'reshiet B'rah Elokit" The rabbis o.b.m " 'For Israel and for the Torah was the reshit'. For before Israel received the Torah all the world from the top to is end, what was sustaining the world? It was nothing but unsolicited undeserved loan of the graciousness of Hashem. Yes it was made and given to us as a loan, of grace and for the doing of mercy. Like the Holy Zohar says "the whole world was created only that Hashem could reveal his attribute of mercy". The world was on loan. No one was paying Hashem back for the creation. it was delayed payment. for Hashem saw that there would be a time when the tzaddik HaEmet would pay. For there is no existence with out Torah. There is not a moment that the world can exist with out the Torah. Without Yerutah t'tata without any stimulation from below. Now it is only through the Tzaddikim that serve Hashem at this level of complete Simcha that sustains the whole world at this very moment. They are a chesed Hashem gives us in every generation the Tzaddikim to sustain and and repair the world. For when the Tzaddikim perform the mitzvot and mishim tovim they raise up, elevate the potential to actual, they raise up the entire creation to it source that is the entire Sod and depth of the all mitzvot. The Tzaddik is able to build a 'komah shelmah' complete construct, a complete unification in the world 'olam shenah nefesh' 'the world of time and of spirit' a joining of the two. They complete a unification, of all existence is this world 'shenah nefseh'. The true tzaddik is paying back all the loans for all of us for all time. This the return of all the loans can only be returned by this soul. The idea of returning the loan is the returning of the sparks because the sparks where given to us on loan. We must gather these sparks and return them and only as we bring them to the Tzaddik HaEmet and he places them where they need to be. So the Tzaddik HaEmet is the Sheliach chosen by Hashem to collect all the loans. his soul volenteered for the job before the world was created, and when we entrust our payments to him then we are patur/no longer responsible, for we have now payed our loan. the responsibility is now on him. But I'm jumping ahead.

Sound the Shofar 'A Time to Wake Up'

With all that is happening in the world today we have to ask ourselves what going on?

We must pray, to understand what it is Hashem is saying to us through all the messages He is sending our way. Tzaddikim of yore wished and longed for these days but asked not to see them, Why? OY OY VEH! we need to pray!

This is how we need to pray now:

My soul, awaken, stand, arise! Seek Hashem's face with all your might, contemplate on this!. My spirit, humble yourself, bow down to the dust. Worship Hashem! we need to leave behind our own assessment of the times and serve Hashem in total bitual, we need, if we are to make it through these trying times ahead of us to nullify our own desires and chochmot, to stop intellectual pursuit of all this and stand still and trust that our Heavenly Father knows what and how to do all of this.

"What you speak only after you have been humbled, and your words will be low, from the dust". Say to your self perhaps there is hope. Perhaps Hashem, L-rd of hosts, will be garious. Perhaps Hashem will act in accordance with all His wonders" that He performed for our forefathers. not perhaps 'VADAI' but,

He asks, "Why are you asleep?"Arise! Call out to Hashem! "Perhaps Hashem will consider us and we will not be lost." Perhaps He will have compassion on his poor impoverished people. perhaps He will have compassion! "Awaken and rise. How long, are you going to be lazy how long will you lie down? When will you arise from your sleep? like the verse 'alittle sleep a little slumber, alittle folding of the hands', It is coming, there is no time for slumber on your eyelids, Now is the time of your escape, 'like a deer from the hand of the hunter', 'like the bird from the trap.' "Remember, do not forget how you have angered Hashem our Elokim" for days for years! Yet His kindness has never left you at every moument, He is engaged in awakening you from your sleep. All the news of the day is an alarm clock and a siren of warning! Bear in mind how He arouses you in every possible way, to turn to Him! How can you sleep when there is so much noise and sound of confusion and catastrophe. All the nations are awakening to His call, just look at the proclamations, 'hints' and speeches of the heads of states. they are all revealing all but still you sleep how is it? In every way revealed and hidden, The frightening declarations and with a great voice that does not cease to call and all the powerful sofar blasts! It grows louder and louder day by day and minute by minute, What, Are you deaf? Behold, He calls forth in a mighty voice, proclaiming, "Awaken from your slumber and from your lethargy." But still you have not repented of your errors. you still prefer the path of filth you still remain immersed in the depths and mire of the vanities of this fleeting world. You still refuse to return to Hashem. You still exalt yourself and refuse to humble yourselves. You do not do the will of your creator, as your Jewish soul yearns and desires to do so. But do not despair, Heaven forbid, saying that your sins have attached themselves to you so that you fester in the midst and can longer repent of your foolishness; saying that they have enveloped you therefore I can not change, you say all hope is lost forever. Have mercy on yourselves and in the few days that remain to you in this world, which passes like the blink of an eye. Wake up turn around and humble yourselves and say there is hope. "there is hope!" The truth is that you still have great hope at every moment. " The mercies of Hashem have not ended; His compassion has not been exhausted", and never will be! But because of our sins they have been covered over and hidden from us! You have no idea the vastness and to what great extent is His compassion for all us, who truly desire to return to Him, even though we have not yet do so. Hashem's sole desire is to show mercy to those who yearn for Him and struggle to find refuge and a way to come close and to return even though they are constantly overwhelmed and have no more than a few days and years in which to act. Act Now!

His compassion overwhelms such people including me beyond measure, beyond what the mouth can speak and the heart can conceive. Be strong and always renew yourselves. Begin from this point on to serve your creator. Abandon your evil ways and disgraceful thoughts, forget your vanities and absurdities. Remove anger from your heart and set aside evil from your flesh. Connect your selves to Hashem! Do not return to your foolishness. Lift up your eyes to the heights and recall your original love. Awaken, arise, my spirit, arise! "Arise, express a new song. Do not dare to be silent, do not be still". Raise your sweet voices and open up your mouths bring pleasant words before the Holy One, Blessed be He, and let them shine.
My prayer,
Master of universe you know haw far I've fallen at this time. How truely far I am from the Tzaddik HaEmet! I've been draw after this generation, for my many sins have caused me to fall, and a sleep as strong as death has overcome me. I have strayed far from You and have fallen far from the seventy faces of Torah, so only the True Tzaddik can arouse me and help me to return to the Your Torah of truth. You have told us of your compassion and kindness. You have had pity on us and sent us the true and outstanding Tzaddikim who are on such a high level that they have the power to arouse us from our sleep by means of profound stories about the early years from our beginnings which speak of The Ancient One, The Elder, The Countenances of the Face, from which the seventy "faces" of the Torah receive their life force and beauty. We have fallen fallen so far from you. so that now you have given permission to the Tzaddik HaEmet to work with us to and awaken us from our tremendous sleep by means of wondrous stories which we can not perceive their Holiness. Yet we still have not repented of our errors we still lie in bed in a stupor and deluded, and we have not merited to awaken! How much more charity can we expect from you our king? Nevertheless, You have told us that through, and only through the Tzaddik HaEmet that there is no such thing as "despair in the world" at all, and a person should never stop praying 'even if there is a sword over his neck'. I declare now! That I have perfect faith in the power of True Tzaddik, and and in all the True Tzaddikim and Elders of Holiness, who draw down from on high, lofty and wondrous and awesome remedies with tremendous dedication in order to save a Jewish soul such as mine. They give each and every person hope that his efforts will not be in vain! And that the tzaddikim will guide him to his true rectification. Have mercy on me! So that from this moment on, I will experience the delight and Holiness of the wondrous and awesome revelations of consciousness, that the True Tzaddikim reveal to us through their holy students and their aw some written works until in this way I will arise in enthusiasm from the depths of my sleep to serve you all the rest of my days of my life. Amen!

"Ain shum ush B'olam klal"
Reb Nati

The Tzaddik HaEmet 'Understanding'

Im told this is wrong that we cant write things like this. But the truth is this is Jewish from before the time of 'J'. Christinaity borrowed this from the Jews as He was a Jew! So it is not new at all but very old. Try to understand you can ask me questions. But the truth is from the begining of time before the creation. Only now this Rabbi from 200 years ago began to peel the scales off our eyes so we can understand as well! Rebbe Nachman from Breslev "bres lev means a heart of flesh in yiddish theres a pasuk in'Jereimah' I'll take your heart of stone and replace it with a heart of flesh"!
We are very short on time just a little over a year to go. One years and two months to be exact til it has to come the 'redeemption' has to be now so in the next year a lot is going to happen we are well into, and on our way to Gog Magog 'the Armagedon' and the USA is leading the way for the one that will come and divide my land and kill my people. Pray!

Think what you want of me but I love Hashem and have prayed for 30 years to see the face of His Righteous Redeemer with my own eyes in this body. So I have acted on my faith and changed everything to be here. because I believed what was written in the Holy books. and He was faithful to answer my prayers.

This lesson is the truth! And I have been writing to the Holy children Israel and many are turning to Emuanh/faith. But the evil one wants to take me before my time so as to trap those who haven't heard. Pray for me. I'm not well. But I Wait only, only on Him who has the power to heal and save! Not on flesh and blood but on the living G-D! for it says in the Holy scriptures in Isaiah "Not by might nor by power but by my spirit says the L-rd Of Hosts".

I asked my self? How is it that this Tzaddik can repair me this the worst, The least of all of all, that I am. How is it? I'm up and down and all over the place. How is it that he can bring me up, to and to direct me on the path of repentence? How is it he can help me to do T'shuvah? How is it and by what merit can he do this? By what power? What is there that he can do such a great thing to bring me to t'shuvah? How is it he can bring me close to Hashem? From the depths of Tumah in this generation, in this the deepest place where I am?

Hashem willing, in the merit of Rebbe Nachman and of Reb Nosson and all the holy the Tzaddikim and in the merit of our Holy Forefathers. Hashem open my mind and my sekel so I might come to understand just a little of what all this means. Hashem willing we will come to understand this and clear up just what we are able to understand. I mean I'm a kosher Jew! I pray, keep the Mitzvot, How is it, How can I make the Tikun I have to make, in this world and in this life time that you have given me? I mean I fall and get up all the time, everyday, multiple times in a single day, I fall! Hashem how can I come closer to you and to the Tzaddik HaEmet?

I have for sometime had a debate inside whether to discuss this in public. Because the the public does not have the kelim to receive this message, and I have had conversations with those of you who know me and some of you can not receive what I'm trying to say. But it is not my words Hashem forbid, However unfortunately we have come to a time, where it is time and I'm being forced so to speak to begin to openly reveal these truths that are recorded in the writings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslev and Reb Nosson and Chazal before them.

Recently in the parsah ha sh'vuah we spoke about the Kohen Ha Gadol and the Talmid chochom, the Tzaddik Ha Emet. The times are such that we need to understand who and what is the Tazddik Ha Emet, He who is more precious than the Kohen HaGadol. and I from the start want to ask of those of you who it is to hard to understand, I ask for you to forgive me if I don't give this over clearly but know it is with my best intentions to relate the truth of what I've heard and learned.

It is brought down in the Parsha of Acharei mot perek vav, (6) there is a remez, How it is that the Kohen HaGadol is to come into the Kodesh Kodeshim. "Aharon shall bring near his own sin offering a Bull 'Parah' and provide atonement for himself... With a parah ben bachor, chatat and the orlah. How is it to come to the Kodesh of the Kodeshsim? "only with the Nukudot Tovot". Parah is 'Resh Peh Bet', gematria 282 or the Torah of Rebbenu, 'Azamra' "I will yet praise Hashem with the little I have left". With this seemingly small good point. So take the good from what I'm trying to say. Rebbe said if with live by the good points then we will have truly a life of good! With that said I can begin to relate what I've learned.

Reb Nosson writes, on this parsha in perkek 16:17 "Any person shall not be in the tent of the meeting when he comes to provide atonement in the Sanctuary until his departure; he shall provide atonement for himself, for his household, and for the entire congregation of Israel". artscroll english tanak

Reb Nosson said, "Mamash I'm saking just to read this in the Nigla, dafka it is l'miesha. It is not a hidden thing! It would be one thing you would expect in the Holy Zohar and in the writing's of the Ari but it is not just there. It is in the Nigla as well as the Nistar. It is Halchah L'Miesah and They say 'there is no hidden treasure in the hidden' what connection does it have to me? If it was only in the Nistar, we could say we don't understand or that it does not apply to us, But it is brought down in the Talmud Yerushalmi in, Yoma, perek alef, halachah heh; They the Rabbis of blessed memory speak there on the language of the pasuk. What does it mean that there shall be no man in the tent? They say not even the Adom Eliyon, , and in the kabbalah there is the Inyan of Adom eliyon, we will not go into this, its above us, But chazal is telling us something gavoah, it's not just man of flesh and blood but the Adom Eliyon, ain lo tz'hut l'kaneiss. He has no merit to come in. Chazal ask, How is it that the kohen Ha Gadol a man of basar v'dom, can come in? We need to understand how it is the kohen hagadol can go in on the holiest day of the year and repair what we have caused to fall to the kilpot.

We need to understand well what it means, Reb Nosson is about to explain and build on this little by little till we understand what is the Tzaddik Ha Emet!

"And the Tzaddik HaEmet this is Rebbenu Nachman ben Simcha ben Fiega. The Tzaddik is Gadol v'yoteir efilu more so than the Kohen HaGadol who is the one who is in front and inside. like it is brought in Sotah perek, chaf daled 24 "lefnei and bifnim penimi, me li? Who is this, who is in front and inside? me he? penimim? Who is this inside? He is more precious than the Kohen HaGadol because he can repair averot that Yom Kippur can not fix. It says in tractate Yoma, 'that the sins between man and Hashem are repaired on yom Ha kippur'. The Tzaddik HaEmet can repair the sins between man and his fellow. This is higher than the Kodesh Kodeshim! Gevalt! The Talmid Chochom the Tzaddik HaEmet like it is brought in Yoma daf peh vav that Yom Kippur fixes these sins but not those. The Tzaddik HaEmet can go in further and higher than the Kodosh Kodoshim and to a place where the Kohen HaGadol can not reach. The Tzaddik HaEmet can reach a place more holy and closer to Hashem, to repair what can not be repaired on Yom Kippur. Like it says in Mishlei, perek tet zain, 16:14 "The Kings wrath is like the angels of death, but the wise man, the talmid chochom/Tzaddik HaEmet will appease it". Reb Nosson explains the pasuk like this, there are sins that enter even unto Hashem, Has v'shalom, and even the Yom Kippur does not appease but the Tzaddik Ha Emet knows how to appease them. that's why he is higher than the Kohen HaGadol. The Beis Hamikdash repairs only those things that are between man and Hashem. But the Tzaddik HaEmet knows how to Kipur/appease the sins between man and his fellow man. The soul of the Tzaddik HaEmet comes from a place higher than this so he is able to make wonderful repairs!

We need to thank and praise Hashem for the fact that we are not amongst those who appose the Tzaddik HaEmet.

Let's talk not about what might be, or could be, but let's only talk about what is! The Tachlis B'Shetach, We are all very very far away from the truth! There is a gap between us and Hashem. Even amongst the Gadolei Hador Mehadrim Kosher Machmirim in Mea Sharim, there is a gap we can not pass without, Emunah in the Tzaddik HaEmet! Only by the Tzaddik HaEmet can we hope to come close.

I do not care what you think! Or what they say! This is the written truth. "It is only by the way of Tzaddik HaEmet that we can come close to Hashem period! What is our avodah? klum shum davar! our merits are nothing! We can not even focus in this generation for a moment on our prayers. Or to guard our eyes from looking at the most putrid of things in this lowly world! There is not one of us who has not fallen very far from the truth! The idea of kedushah Atz me 'Personal Holiness' is far far from almost all of us! Which one of us has not once in this year had a 'clean thought', that has not taken us away from Hashem for just a second, not to mention all the evil thoughts that we dwell on. What kind of Pagamim we have created every minute in this coma we call life. Without the Korach of the Tzaddik. The Tzaddik HaEmet is something most of us do not want to here about! What's so hard to believe? That Hashem sent us a way to make it! It's is a sin not to believe? It is written that gehenom is deepen and widened for us, so why do I put on tefillin or keep shabbos what use is it to try? Rebbenu said I'm your guarantor. It says in the Holy Zohar, Hashem asked the Moshiach should I make the world or not? Because man will rebel against me! He the Moshiach said, "put it all on me I'll pay the debt". The Zohar says that all our avodah has no substance at all. So this Nehsomah of Moshiach, the soul the same exact soul as Moshe rebbenu, Rashbi, Baal Shem Tov and Rebbnu Nachman. Hashem asks, when seeing the days before Moshiach, the angels asked who will pay the chov, Mah Yeih? What will be? Moshiach stood up and said "I will"! I'm the Guarantor! Rebbnu said "I will tikun them" I will! this is the Tzaddik me, myself, I will pay in full all of it! The truth is the truth! No one ever made this promise. He said im the Orev! Rebbenu wrote in Chai Moran "you just bring me stones and plaster and I'll build the most wonderful houses from them, he said, 'what'? you are not engineers and contractors or managers you are stam workers so stop you all billibal" you can not do anything! It is just that our ego and pride are the worst of all sins, We think we know something, can do something, Ha! Rebbenu said if you had a 1000 years of fasting and tikunim if you even knew what to do you could not do it. So he said, "I'm your Orev", because he said he will pay, except it! He said you can not even do t'shuvah I'll do it for you! I mean if some guy comes and says tomorrow I'll pay all you bills are you going to says no? Hand me all your debts I'll pay them just come to me! gevalt!

We have no idea who Rebbenu was! You read this and say "who is he to say I'll do it for you"? On what merit does he have to do so? I'll tell you! Because he 'shomer' watched his eyes! He separated himself from the Tumah of this world by keeping his eyes in the holy books and his focus on the truth that Hashem is Elokim. And none of us are on the level to say he did not. Today guarding our eyes is like someone asking us to lift a building! It is impossible but we have to try there is no excuse not to so! We have to cry and beg Hashem to help us. The Tzaddik is so separated from this world that he can go where no man has gone before. We are at the lowest level ever even lower than Mitzrayim we are mamash at the 49.999th level. But rebbenu knew this 200 years ago, and said "I can", and said "its all on me". He was a kosher Sheliach and Hashem excepted him and we are patur, if we just believe and come to his kever and give tzadakah and have Emunah. But you say B'tzechut me? On who's tzechut? Only on the tzechut of the power of Nikudah Tovah! He tilted the scale to the side of favour for us by judging us favourably he put on the side of merit, he looked and saw these days and said they can't make it! "My Torah is for the last generation", "My fire will burn til the coming of the Mosiach"!

Do you know the difference between Chabad and Breslev? Breslev sees the nikudah in every Jew. And chabad sees the Jew in every nikudah. together they raise us up! Only by Menachem and Nachman can we make it!

Rebbenu wrote "Ain ye'ush B'olam klal" I can take the Jew who is in the lowest and farthest place and move him to the place of Rashbi, from the lowest to the highest. The Baal shem tov said I can't move the baal bicherah, 'the master of choice' someone who choose to have their way, but I'll have grandson who will be able to move even this one. This is how Rebbenu gives us a chance to choose he gives the kelim to raise us up over all, thousands of times.

Rebbenu is the first Rav to write just to you. Just read is words and you'll feel it and come to know it just drop all your chochmahs through away your intellect and believe and you soon see that that it is true. Rebbenu can give you the strength to guard your eyes to concentrate on your prayers, after each new step you'll feel the strength to do another and another til you are also a tzaddik. But you have to want it, you have to beleive it. Without Rebbenu there is no way to wake up! Only Tzaddik Ha Emet has the korach the power to wake us up and that's not all He also has the power to wake up and bring back the Skeniah from her galut, Likutey Halochot hilos purim. What? What? you do not believe! then do T'shuvah because Chazal tells us that Moshe did it! and that King Dovid did it, and King Hesikyahu did it, and could have been the Mosiach. And that Mordechai Hayehudi did it! What it's all a lie?
No! so let go of your 'B'Cheimah Zevel' and wake up for goodness sakes! What you think you have a choice you're a 'Miskain' blind, deaf and dumb and not to mention lame. We all are! But there is Hope because there is one who goes before you! Rebbenu said that Hashem has been doing it ever since his birth. If you fall just get up and go on like nothing happened at all. this is the secret to success in this world! Get up dust off and smile and know that all is from Hashem even the falls, and keep going!

GOING BEFORE YOU"!...

Hakaras Hatov, A New Gift from Hashem

Each everyday is a new day entirely new creation, it has and will never exist again ever. So everyday is a new start and an opportunity to start all over again. Rosh HaShanah is a time to resolve to be better in the coming year. Rosh Chodesh is as well a time to start a fresh the coming month each of these are imbued with special energy to regenerate life. However, it is important to remember that not everything happens at once. "One who grabs a little at a time will be successful' (Sukkah 5b).

With this said I now want to focus on the most fundamental truth in living a the Emunah life style, and the most difficult challenge we face. That being to to focus only on today. today is the time of Avodas Hashem, we can not serve Hashem yesterday as it is spent. We can not serve Hashem tomarrow, for it is not as yet here. So the only time to serve Hashem is today 'the now'. This is one of the reasons that the mishnah in Avos (1:10) teaches us "To love work." refering to avodas Hashem. "To love your work'' means to get absorbed in what you do, with the proper focus and attention. in short to give it your full and complete attention.

Everyday is a new opportunity to grow and develop in many ways. We can develop our intitiative and enthusiasm to enjoy every new day that Hashem sends our way. The challenge we have is to realize that every single morning Hashem bestows upon us a new day. If we internalize this reality, we can developed more energy, zest, and ongoing joy that can keep us going throughout the entire day. When we say the words ,"He renews, with His goodness, everyday, the work of His creation," we should be very thankful and grateful for the new day, a new gift from Hashem.

One of the great benefits of focusing on a new day is the feeling that you have a choice. You can strive to make it a great day, and Hashem will help you to succeed,for "on the path one is determined to go, he will be led" (Makkos 10b). It is all up to you, it is in your hands!


Hashem gives us many chances to start over, to improve and do better. Each and every morning we get a fresh start, a chance to begin again. This is why we Breslever's are always happy this is is fundamental in the teachings Rebbe Nachman to be 'B'Simcha tamid'. we are not carrying the heavy wagon of yesterday and the loaded pack of tomarrow. Hashem keeps sending opportunities knocking at the our door. we must not ignore them!

We can always utilize our lives to serve Hashem. Act now! Prayer is always considered 'timely'.

Our attiude is most important aspect of our life. Even if the blessings are flowing all around us if we dont have the right attitude, we can lose the opportunity to benefit from these. think on this "A good heart is always at a banquet" (Mishlei 15:15) i.e. one with a good heart is always happy. Hashem loves us and desires to help us. Act as if Hashem will help you and He will. Look for the posetive results and Hashem will help you. like we say in Yiddish "Tracht gut, vet zein gut, Think good and it will be good". As we get up in the morning and get our wits about us, we should run to pray, in order to ask Hashem to please help us see the blessings and to have a successful day serving Him.

In Hebrew, the phrase for giving thanks is 'Hakaras Hatov', recognizing the good. Hashem is the only creator and controller of the entire universe. Everything else is His creation. One of the basic fundamental teachings of the Torah is that we are obligated to "repay" our benefactor for every benefit we receive, by recognizing and thanking Him. Thus, every morning we must remember to be grateful for the sun, example of a daily benefit that we take for granted, as we just assume that it will be there, and express our gratitude for it to the creator. In the morning praises we say "With Your great mercy, have mercy on us." Why? We are pleading with Hashem specifically to open our eyes to see His creation, so we do not waste our lives , living in spiritual darkness. In this light we have to understand that thankfulness is not limited to just Hashem for allowing us to view His creation and to experience His amazing world. The Mishanh (Avos 1:6) teaches that friends are so valuable that we should 'buy' them. If you have a friend who lights up your day then take time to thank Hashem for him. just an example of all that we can be thankful for the list is endless, you can fill in the blanks.

Hakaras hatov is very important. While a person may truly be humble and tell you there is no need to thank him for all the favor he has shown you it is nevertheless, a fundamental Torah obligation to express our thanks. In this way, we begin to train ourselves to remember also to thank the ultimate Giver Hashem. With this we can change the very nature of the world!

Thank you Hashem for being able to pray and to write what was on my heart today as an expression of my thankfulness to You.

"Kifuy Tovah" Stop Complaining It's a Sin

The root cause of all our sins and all our problems and the most evil trait is "Kifuy Tovah" - Ungratefulness! And the largest source of sorrow in the world is "Bachyanut" - Complaining. It is brought down in the Midrash T'Chuma Parshas Balak that the reason for "The Attack of Amalek" was (and is) because of ungratefulness. This is the largest single source of despair in the world - that we do not thank Hashem for everything. It closes all the doors and windows of shefa (G-dly sustenance) to the world. It is like building steel gates to blessing.

Hashem is only good. 'Aseh Tov Hashem'. How good is the Lord. 'Todah Rabah Hashem yisbarach'! Thank you Hashem! 'Kamah Tov Hashem' How good is Hashem!

This is a description of the 'midot rahot' evil character traits. 'Wickedness' is this trait of 'kifuy tovah'. It is the source of all doubt and trouble. The worst sin is that we are not grateful for what we have been given. Bachynut on the other hand is a poison to your soul and the source of sickness in the world.

From Shemot we learn from the exodus from Eygpt: we were freed from slavery and then we complained about every little thing. We saw great miracles and the splitting of the sea, and we still complained! About nothing! Instead of praying and thanking Hashem for all that He had done we focused on the lack! The old adage of the glass half empty instead of half full. WE didn't have to work, we didn't have to pay for anything. We were not sick, our clothes didn't wear out. our shoes grew with our feet. We were not cold and were not hot, all we had to do was to learn. All was a free gift from Hashem from pure love. Hashem gave all we needed.

What was there to complain about? Are you in the cancer ward, handicapped, in prison Hashem forbid. No? So there is what to be thankful for! Stop to look at what you have instead of what you think you need, which by the way is more than likely something you want. Instead know that Hashem provides you with all that you need. If you do not have something then more than likely you do not need it or Hashem wants you to pray for it. Instead we're being spoiled ungrateful children crying for something that we just want.

The world where it is today needs shefa and blessing, and the fastest way to reciev it is to thank Hashem.

The root of problems in the home is ungratefulness, shalom bayit problems are often being ungrateful to our spouse. The problems with the kids is we have not taught them to be thankful. They think they deserve something (if not everything!) and when they do not get it they act out. They learned it from us! We are spoiled!

The Holy books explain that the root of all greed and theft and murder is a result from this 'mida rahah'.

The repair for this is to thank and thank and to be thankful for all. As you start to practice this you will feel better and the whole world will start to look like gan eden. The positive effect will change your world, the windows and doors of shefa will open wide. When the pipes of shefa are plugged and clogged we can not receive the blessing that Hashem wants to give us. We need spiritual liquid plumber - that is thankfulness.

Make a list of all the good that is in your life. Take just a half hour and thank Hashem for everything your can think of. As you go through the day and happen to remember something new, stop and thank Hashem for it. Watch all the windows of heaven open to you.

It's your choice to cry or to sing! Our Mitzrayim today is this ungrateful attitude!

The next step is to tell someone else what Hashem has done for you. Just start to sing 'Aeizeh tov Hashem, aeizeh tov hashem, cama tov hashem, cama tov hashem,' 'Todah rabah lacha hashem yitbrech, todah rabah lacha hashem yitbrech', and watch all the clouds of despair disappear from view.

"Purim poem"

Sing this poem to the tune of bingo was his nameo

By Yisrael Moskovits

Many years ago in Persia there once lived a king: Achasheverosh was his name.
He ruled 127 countries: that was his fame.
He made a party for 180 days: and then for one more week...
The wine was older that your age: it wasn't for the meek.
There was much pomp: the food was good and the wine was flowing...
everyone took it in: there was no other place to be going.
At this point he was not sober: he did something rash...
He demanded of Vashti: make a show before everyone at the bash.
She said that she would'nt do it: you must be drunk...
That enraged him even more: He didn't like her spunk.
O' he beheaded her: and that calmed him down.
But without Vashti: he was in a frown.
He needed another queen: to wear Vashti's crown...
so let there be beauty contest: I'll choose the new queen on my own.
The beauty pageant: came to town...
Esther won it: it was hands down.
He wanted to know her: Na-tion-ality...
"No" she said. "That secret stays with me!"

Bigson and Seresh were lurking around: to overthrow the king...
But Mordechai understood their lingo: and disrupted their ring.
Esther came and told the king: on Mordechai's behalf...
about the plot of poisoning: it's not a matter to laugh.

The king made Haman : into a VIP...
Now he belonged to the : Persian high socie-ty.
Everywhere he went : people had to bow...
It was the new rule in Persia: don't ask me how.
Mordechai just came and went: he didn't bow a bit...
That made Haman vent: I'm gonna have a fit.

Haman planned with the king to kill the Jews
but he didn't want this to be big news.
"They have different ways from us and from the things we do...
for example their holidays they celebrate: without a barbecue!"
"I see, about them, You are right...
but this must be done out of sight."
"Aren't you afraid of their G-d: haven't you been told?"...
"No! said Haman he is old: and he can't even scold."
"And besides, I have for the kings pockets: ten thousand of silver"...
"Ok you have my stamp: but the money you must deliver."
He planned to kill them all: from near and from far...
The decree was stamped: the date was set for Adar.

Mordechai bade Esther: with a plea...
to null-ify: Haman's decree.
She came to stand before the king: after fasting for three days...
It's very urgent it couldn't wait: Please don't be fazed.


The king tossed and turned all night: He just couldn't sleep
Then Haman came early morn: with a secret he couldn't keep.
The kind said first: there is something I want you to do...
To repay a favor: to Mordechai the Jew...
To lead him on my horse around the city streets: and then you must tell...
This is how the king favors a person: who did him well.

Haman found Mordechai teaching his students: and asked what are they saying?...
"They are learning the service of the temple and are praying."

"I came to lead you around the city with the kings garments and horse."...
"You, Haman, are wicked person. Have you no remorse?"

No one saw who threw the garbage: on Haman's face...
But he had to be at the party: and appear with grace.
There was no time to change his clothes: no time at all...
The king's men were waiting outside: to whisk him to the ball.
The king said to Esther the queen: "What troubles you my dear?"...
I'll give you half the kingdom: if you tell me your fear.
She said there is someone very cruel: who plans for my defeat...
and this man will be then trying to take your seat.
The king rose up and cried aloud " Who can this be"?...
Her finger pointed to the man: "It's Haman, can't you see"?

There's a gallows outside that Haman just built: it's fifty cubits high...
"Then hang him now hang him high": came the king's reply.

Mordechai came to the king: about the Jew's plight...
"I'm sorry", the king said, "Haman's decree still stands." : The Jews will have to fight.
They took to arms: and won the war...
But in Shushan : they needed one day more.
They made this miracle into a Holiday: and celebrate it with much glee...
I drink the wine I drink so much: I don't know if I'm me!
The reading of the Megilla: its for us to hear...
When Haman's name comes up: the noise is hard to bear.
The shops are all empty: everything is gone...
It's all being sent: to people around the town.
We send the food: with good will...
So the poor people: can eat till their fill.
We send mishloach manos: and give to the poor...
It's better to eat a little less: and to give a little more.
The message that Purim comes to tell: it's very clear to see...
Hashem protects his people: from any evil decree.
There's one more thing about Purim: remember it for Hashem's sake...
We must try to obliterate: the name of Amalek.

Happy Purim Yisrael Moskovits

Ha Orrat Purim 'The Lights of Purim'

Mamar : כל המועדים בטלים וימי הפורים לא נבטלים"
(הלכות נחלות הלכה דHilkhot chalakha daled
Acording to the Torah, " say to the Cohanim", simon bet look there at all this Torah על פי התורה ''אמר אל הכהמנו בסימן ב' עין שם כל התורה

The main thing is prayer. "for all the wars of the Moshiach will be won through prayer" "and the main weapon of Moshiach is prayer" "and all his conquering is from this". Rebbe Nachaman also brings down here that, and we see there, that Yosef the Tzaddik was shomer Habrit and from this he merited the B'chor, the rights of the frist born. For he was not Yaakov's frist born but he was Rachel first born. For He the B'chor is the aspect of Avodahs Ha Tefilla 'the service of prayer'. for the B'chor receives a double portion. Rebbe Nachaman brings down that a person prays more for his b'chor, before a person has his first born, he prays for him, and all his other children come from this prayer, so the B'chor is the aspect of prayer.

This double portion is a an aspect of prayer, because the there is the order of Ho da ah, thankgiving and praising Hashem and b'kasha, a person asking Hashem for what he needs. Two aspects of prayer.


And this is the aspect of Purim, the subjegation of 'Haman-Amalek'. and this is what Raba bar Chana said... "because in this 'golus' that we are enduring at this very minute, and that Raba bar Chana is speaking in his time, it is one and the same. "That Hashem has turned his face from us". Even at his time. All of our requests and prayers and or crying out and in our hisbodeut all of this is, because of 'Hester Panim' the turning away of the face. And now when we see the length of this golus, and that it seems to not be ending. And that we are asking for him to return to us. And everyday when we call out and nothing is happening, it seems as our prayers are for nothing.

"Penei ali" Return to us! We feel some times that our prayers are for nothing. But in truth not one word is waisted. All the ours prayers are taken by the Tzaddikim. They take them and build and establish them and put them in their place. Like Moshe who built up the Miskan by arranging it in order so that the Shekinah could dwell there in it. And the Moshiach and the Tzaddik are an aspect of Moshe. The Tzaddik of the generation elevates an assembles these prayers in the proper order and he arrangeds them into their proper places, so that he builds the Beis Ha Mikdash and the Moshiach will come. And there are those who are confused and think that their prayers are not going up. That there are no fruit to the prayers, they are wrong they are raised and warmed and ripend. In truth they all go up every singal prayer goes up through the Beis Ha mikdash, the al gather there and are beam up from there. And now that there is no Mikdash the prayers go up at the kevrey graves of the great Tzaddikim. And every word is gathered and transformed into a building block of the Mikdash. They all raise to the throne of glory and they all led to the building of the Beis Ha Mikdash. speedly in our days quickly amen.

When this is complete and formed for the place of the Shekinah is completed through prayer then Hashem will bring the Emes Rachim, He will turn over the 'Midah of Din' to the 'Midah of Rachim' this is the aspect of mercy a person has to know. We are taught by Chazal that through our prayers that the Beis Ha Mikdash is built, But we need understand and to know that when the Mikdash is built it is, and only through the mercy of Hashem. Because everything we receive is only a unmerited, a free, undeserved gift from Hashem. Even though we have to pray for it and the Mikdash is rebuilt only by and through our prayer in the end it will only be by, Chasdei Hashem, it will not be as it were a payment for our prayers. Its is only the Chesed of Hashem. In the same way that this works for the kal for Am Israel, it also works in the prat, in our personal geula and any one that spends time in service to Hashem, ie. in prayer and requests and thanks giving will see this, that we have to pray and we receive Yehshuot, the salvations we need to know that it was not us but only Hashem mercy.

That Hashem will turn to us and bring us close to him and reveal the Tzaddik to us. It is only from Hashem that we even desire to come close to Him. When we merit to come close to him through our hisbodeut and he relieves us from our tivot and 'Middot ha rah', our base lusts and when we see that it was Hashem that has let us spend a lot of time in prayer. A person might make the mistake and think that he is not doing anything. In truth there is no word or one sigh that gets waisted. They truly make a huge mark and impression, and the Tzaddik takes them and builds these incredible beautiful buildings from them. They are the aspect of the Miskan all of us have to strengthen ourselves and know that it does not matter how speak or what speech we use to call out Hashem, the simple prayers are the best, we need not be elogent, but simple from the heart, in short the truth!

The whole of it is we have to just keep Davining and Davining 'praying' to Hashem as we are creating material to help the Tzaddikim to build. We supply the tzaddik with the 'Chomer' the materials they need to build the Mikdash. the greatest blocks of gold and jewels are made with just our simple prayers.

But Haman-Amalek he is all of the kilpot and Sitra Atra. Where does all this doubt come from that our prayers are of no use? They come from the heresy of Haman-Amlek he poisons our Daat by telling us that we can not help and that our prayers are useless and that there is nothing we can do. It's hopeless 'Ain ma la sot' how is is it possible that a person can pray and not believe in his prayers? It only comes from Haman-Amalek!!!

The power and the miricle of Purim, the Neis of Purim, is the greatest of miricles it is bigger than kias Yam Sof. Bigger than Matan Torah. The down fall of Haman-Amalek is the highest of the higheast of day, of the year. Why is the golus so long and so so bitter? It is all from the power of Haman-Amalek. Galut Edom for amalek is of the seed of Edom. Why? Why is it so bitter because we do not believe in our prayers! He seduces us into doubt all of the Tivot and the Middot Rahot all come from Haman-Amalek. Midrash Tehumah, in parshas Balak says that Haman-Amalek only comes from the Middot Rahot of not seeing the good, of ungratefulness! This is what empowers and calls him to attack us. He comes and tells us that there is no good. And it is this, this lie, keeps us from seeing the good makes the golus so much more bitter our 'Pegam b'Daat' our defect in our understanding adds to, and lengthens the golus and the lengthening of the golus weakens our prayers, it distances us from Hashem, we must not prepetuate this cycle, we must break the cycle. Because of all the bitterness makes us less confdent to stand up to him and pray and believe. It is a cycle that must not repeat itself. All the trickery and deceit he uses, if it were not for Hashem fighting Amalek himself we could not stand! Hashem in his great compassion sends to us Tzaddik, but we do not want to connect to him, it is only by Tzaddik telling us to not to give up, that we can keep going! Amalek knows this and he knows we are close to the end, and he only comes when we get close to the end. When we can make it, he comes to stop us Haman came only at the very end. everyone miscalculated the time of the End. When we were so close, then he comes to stop us. he says it can not be done give up. But when we know that this in and of it's self is a sign, to strengthen ourselves and carry on as the End is very close. But as we are scattard and seperated in our belielf. It's only by this lack of 'Achdut' Onesness we are defeated. We need to pull together and wake up. Haman came and told the king "their God is sleeping and is not coming to save them". Only by our prayers can we awaken Hashem's Rachim. We know, that He that keeps Israel never slumbers and He does not sleep. but He faithfuly watches over us! But it is just that he has turned his face away from us, so it appears that He is sleeping. Haman the wicked came and said to us that our G-d is sleeping, "see he's not coming to help you", He's not answering you, give up! The truth is there is no such thing that Hashem is sleeping it is only the Middat HaDin. We must awaken His Rachim then he will as it were return to us. There is no way to wake Him up, Haman said there is no such thing as Emunah! When we lengthen the golus we fall and say why, only because of this that Amalek tells us that it is over. But the Torah strongly warns us to remember what Amalek did to us on the way. this is a remez to all the history that he will constantly attack or faith. There are 6 things to remember that which Amalek did to us the 1st is that he came to cool off our heart he tried to convince us that every thing is just chance and there is not divine providence. and he cooled us off. We need to be on fire and warm to serve Hashem, but if he can cause a doubt then we become tired and we became tired of praying, So we did not fear Hashem they weaken our Daat remember it well what they have done to you in every generation! Not to believe in our prayers! Listen to the warning of the Tzaddikim Never give up and never stop believing in the power of prayer! Not only is he trying to tell us that Hashem has never helped you, that he has not even began to hear you, he has not and will not redeem you. They want us to forget Hashem! we are falling a sleep, so many of us are falling asleep, and worse, into the coma that we can not wake from. We need to only stay awake, and the only way to do it is to just to say thank you! The power of saying thank you can destory Haman-Amalek it is a spiritual nuke, because it is easy and simple just to today say thank you Hashem. Thank you for what he's done today, not yesterday we are only just trying to stay awake we are in spiritual hypotheremia we are cold.

On Purim we need to drink and get warm and Remember all that Hashem has done for us! That is why we need to read the Megillah every year as if it was happening now. We know that if we read the megillah as if it is a history then we have not fulfilled our obligation.

Rebbenu tells us that Hashem is constantly with us! "I never left you! I give you everything you need! If you think you lack somthing it is only that which you do not need! I"m doing right now miriciles to save you from that which you do not even know! So how can you doubt me? I give you everything I supply you with all! You lack nothing! Today you have all that I know that you need." Please wake up and thank Hashem! Are you alive? Then it is a mirical! Are you breathing? It's a Neis! Thank Hashem! It is only thought the Tzaddikim, Moshe and Mordechai that can wake us! Was it the hands of Moshe that saved us? Or was it us the Jews looking to Hashem? when we look not to our own strength or someone elses but to Hashem's strength, in us, in our power of prayer. As soon as we surrender to Hashem in prayer He comes and imedatey, He comes and saves us! Just look up to the Heavens this is the only way to defeat Haman-Amalek.

Happy purim we should merit through our dancing and joy to destroy Haman-Amalek Today once and for all! Amen.

Just as we have to give to any one who asks us on Purim, if we ask of Hashem then he is bound to give us! What do you have to lose? Ask and He will grant you your desire. Be carful not to waist this Purim on only being drunk but use it to elevate you Daat to understand all that Hashem wants from us. this is the key to the Geulah, open the door and just walk in




Reb Nati

Why Tanis Of Esther?

Esther's fast.

When we have Emunah in Hashem, and Emunah in the Tzaddik and Faith in ourselves we have no need to fast (Liktey Moharan II, 86; Rabbi Nachaman's wisdom #140).

Let's for the sake of conversation for a moment just let go of this life this earthly life. Let's mentally leave behind all the earthly goals and take leave of the material all our worldly aspirations to raise above all the transient temporal desires all of them riches power, pleasures, prestiage, all of this 'the olam' the world we live in with all of it's t'aivah 'lusts' and enter a more permanent eternal, more meaningful exisitance. To a state of life where there is solitude, to a place where we can see the vainity of 'this normal life' to a vantage point from where we can see the total futility of the this world and this life, with it's social standards and it's peer presures. We rise to a perspective to where we can clearly see the futality of and insanity of a "Jewishness practiced only to attain empty vain goals of such a life. from this point, detacted from from and unmoved by these earthly goals, it's only from this eternal panorama that we can focus on the the "Ultimate goal of the life", 'THE EMET' And from here, undisturbed by the distraction of the transient, vanity of this world, we can concetrate enough to yearn for and long for and come in touch with the deepest longing of our real selves our souls and it's only desire that being to cleave to Hashem, to be one with our source. From here we can can see the and feel the harmony of creation with our souls we then can sing in the this celestral symphony. Our souls sing all in unision, they sing they parts their song to Hashem the master of all. And at this point we can experience Hashem only and we can only manifest Him... This is Joy... and now we can only stay here for a short while, in this ecstatic moment, feeling no experiencing a fortaste of the life eternal. This is the goal that we each long for. and now as we begin to return from reallity to this temporary experience that we call life this earthly relm, we want to take all this that we have gain the insights and all the feelings we have had, ingest them and let them enter deep into our souls so that whem we return to our fleshly material selves we will remember what we saw and learned and now that we are back here in this reality that hides the truth to this mundane, we promise ourselves that we will stay above these earthly goals that we will stay awake and aware of the truth and that we will always focus on the the ultimate goal of this exisitance in every thing we do. But most of us aren't really yet to make this leap of faith. we are are distracted and overwelmed by the colors tastes and sounds of this earthly life that we identifty so strongly with this earthly life, that we afre unable to unplug, that without it we see no point in living. we feel earthly goals are all there is and to give them up is to be left with nothing. this begs at us in it's self it asks, Who are we?... What is life?... and where is Hashem? What is my part if any in this?

We can never answer these objective questions as long as we are blinded by the subjective needs. by those desires for riches... and pleasures.. power and prestige... these were all that Haman and Achashverosh had and longed for. The earthly he ruled over the whole world. They had it all, but what? They wanted more they wanted, what the Jews had too. To answer these questions we need to set our sights on the 'ultimate goal' to be able to even catch a glimpse to be able to even set our sights we need to the Tzaddik who can help us raise above the earhtly goals.
We must connect and link to the the Tzaddik who has no subjective goals, who can answer our questions and guide us to the ultimate goal. we must follow and relate to his teachings, and allow the to restructure our lives a refocusing as it where. But to do this we must have faith in the tzaddik and in ourselves, but it is only through the tzaddik that we can begin to have faith in ourselves this in turn builds our faith in the tzaddik that he knows the true answers and that we can raise to the goal. and we ourselves must take the frist step of showing our desire, because by doing so Hashem sees that we seek the truth and He will guide us to the tzaddik. But until then, we are as blind to the tzaddik as we are of the ultimate goal (Likutey Halakhot, Hilchos shabbos 6:3).
And in the time of Haman, as is the case now, we had lost faith in the tzaddik, we ignored Mordechai's plea not to attend the orgy. We had lost faith in ourselves that being that we could withstand temptaion and raise above, to the goal (Likutey Halakhot, Yibum 3:15).

So Esther decreed a fast she enjoined us to make a vow (Rokeach, Esther). She told us to raise above the need to eat she proclaimed a 3 day fast. and making the vow to fast, we showed our desire to transend the earthly needs. We showed faith in ourselves, that we could and would keep the fast. Hashem them helped us to see that we really do not need all those "needs". And He brought us in touch with the Tzaddik with Mordechai who could then tell us the truth about ourselves. Who are we What is life and where is Hashem. And then we will have no need to fast. Rather, at the Purim Banquet we can serve Hashem with feasting and drinking even more than we serve Him with fasting (Likutey Morharan I, 58:2-6 also Lm II, 86). Beacuse the The "ULTIMATE" GOAL IS EARTHLY SERVICE. BUT WE MUST FAST TO GET THERE. So every year on the eve of Purim, we keep Esther's fast.

Tzom cal, Happy Purim from Reb Nati and family from the Holy city of Jerusalem.

The Night of the Big Snow and the Beit Din

Last year on Motzei Shabbos parshas Mispatim on the night of the big snow , here in Israel I was suddenly wakened to a very dark coldness. yes it was snowing and the electricity was out but it wasn't that kind of darkness or that kind of cold. I normally go to bed early and it is not uncommon for me to wake up in the wee hours of the night. I generally use this time to pray you know to speak with Hashem.

Anyway this night was different as I woke and washed my hands there was a presence in my room. Straight away I heard, "it's time!" what? "It's time prepare yourself!" what? "I have come
to take you, it's time!"

The voice was real and I began to tremble
everyone was asleep, but myself and our little dog Mahzeh, who was sitting next to my bed nerviuosly looking in the direction of the darkness in the conor of the room. The voice said again, "prepare yourself, go and kiss you children and ask them to forgive you, it's time." So I got up got dressed and let the dog out come back up stairs and started to cry and shake as the reality of this hit me. On Shabbos I lost my temper really bad I cant remember even why now. But it was a real blow out. Those of you who know me know that I could really lose it. Anyway I walked into my sons room the first I came to. And there I cried and asked them to forgive me. I cried on them and hugged them they stirred but did not wake up. Next into the little one's room my babies, the same, I cried and though of how I've been a monster angry, yelling, raving fool I almost collapsed on the floor I was by now really shaking I kissed them both. Now I went into my eldest's room she was now a beautiful young woman, I probably caused her the most pain. My tears dripped on her she rolled over I begged her to forgive me. I kissed her on the cheek and turned and went out. now my room I stood in the darkness and shuddered when when I saw him in the conor waiting for me to finish. I stepped up next to my wife's bed and fell apart I cried and cried and pleaded for her most of all to forgive me how much she has had to endure oy!

I returned to my bed and was told to "say the shema let's go!"

"No" "just wait a minute", "I do not want to go", "I have kids they need me", "my poor wife what is she going to do?" They pressed me to say shema. I argued "what? " "I have no good at all?" "there is no chance for me to repair what I damaged?" "No!" "say shema!" I was really crying now my whole body shook! I knew I was going to leave any second now i could feel it. "But wait", "I have no tzehut at all? I did not do teshuvah? ", "I didn't give up everything I was doing in my life to become Torah observent?", "I left the life I had and gave up all to serve Hashem!" "I moved to Israel to be close to Hashem!" "Have not earned any merits at all?", "I like Avraham I left my home land to come here to sevre you", "my only thought was to sevre you." ok I have no tzehut." What about our fore fathers Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, Moshe, Dovid the Baal Shem Tov... ah Rebbe Nachman! Rebbe, you said if "I came to your grave and gave Tzadakah, and said the Tikun, that you would traverse heaven and earth and even come to gehinom to help me." You Promised!!! I heard a voice it was 2:44am as I saw the clock "He is the talmid of Rav shalom Arush ben Yamnah from Jerusalem.

I pleaded for one more shabbos so I could really keep it, and if you'll give one more shabbos then maybe you'll give one Purim so I could have a real Purim in Jerusalem with my Rav. And if you'll give me Purim then please, please let me have peseach, and and I want to count the omer and make it through all the way with out messing it up. Please give me Shevuot with the yeshiva and give me one more Rosh Hashanna in Uman with the Rebbe! Please please let me sit in my Rav Sukkah. Please give Shelosh Reglim in Jerusalem. By now, now it had hit me like a ton of bricks I was sobbing and soaked from cring my whole goof hurt from crying, and I was yelling and no one woke up only me and the little dog she heard me and was sitting looking at me. Like what is this guys problem, but with undersdtanding eyes like what's wrong? She dint budge the whole time she just sat there and looked at me and glanced for time to time at the darkness in the cornor.

"Shema Irsael Hashem......"

When I woke up in the morning I was very surprised to find myself in my room. Everyone was still asleep as no one was going any where because of the snow.

I got up washed my hands it was 7 something, and prayed I mean prayed and thanked Hashem that I was Still here. I looked out the windows it was still snowing but like last night when there was lighting and thunder and the wind howeling now peaceful heavy snow the sun broke through here and there it was wonderful.

A cup of coffee yum it tasted great every thing
was new, I mean good!

I even kissed the dog and hugged her she was the only one to witness all this. She look relieved to see me. I never liked having the dog in the house, cause she's tamei and I'm cheredi, but living in the west bank and on the edge of the yishuv, she was our alarm if Hashem forbid that Arabs came to the house she would give me the time I need to defend my family so I gave in to her living with us but now I loved her I was never really nice to her I just kind of put up her the creature but now we had shared this experience. Anyway I did not say anything to anyone and when my family got up it was wow! lets play in the snow! My wife was still angry over my explosion so, I left to go to a friend up on the hill to see the snow. The day passed and the next, "cause there are any snow plows in Israel" and I no longer had the jeep so the fiat was not going to get us to Jerusalem in these conditions so we stayed home for two days.

Tuesday morning though the kids and I drove in to town to school, and I to yeshiva. on the way we almost got killed as a Arab semitrailor fuel truck lost control right in front of us, in a curve and it killed 8 and injured 20 people in front and in back of us as we made it though with just 2 or 3 inches on either side fuel truck spun out and wipeout two Arab taxis in the process we were in the middle and drove right though the middle kind of like the matrix slow motion as I spun around the edge Yankey yelled look out as tire from the taxi flew just skimming over our heads just missing the roof of the car right in front of my head and the tail end of the truck just missed the door post 10cm next to my face and we made it. There was black ice all over the road. Well all this is not really important. what happens next is...

Now what is about tell you really to happen it is true this whole story really happen!

As I entered the Yeshiva, and I timidly after all these events I walked into the down stirs Beis Medrash to Davin as I passed the Rav office the door was open. The way the office is set up you cant see the Rav at his desk it's out of sight. anyway as I passed I heard Nathanael, I literally back stepped to the door and stuck my head in the door and Said "yes Rav you called me?" "Come in and shut the door, ok, He now asked me. Do you understand what happened to you on Motzei Shabbos?" I dropped my Talis and Tephilin bag and started to shake. I'm shaking now as I right this an crying. with my mouth hanging open I said Rav I need to t'shuvah He said sit down so I sat down. He said that he had been awakened at 2:44am on Motzei Shabbos and called to a Beit din. He said it took a little while for him to realize for who. But that he had worked to get my sentence commuted. He then told me that he has been praying for me and that my din meis my death sentence, He and Rebbenu had gotten it reduced to life. what? They reduced my sentence to lifetime community service. that ment I now have to clean up the mess I made. this is when I said "Yesh ma lasot" that "there is something to do!" and I'm trying. I now try to see only the good and judge all on the side of tzehut the gemorra tells us of a story in Rosh Hashanna, 17a "Rav Huna son of Rav Yehoshua became ill, Rav Pappa went to see him and to inquire about him, He saw that he was on the brink of death and said to the people there "supply him with provisions for his journey", ie. bring him shrouds. later he Recovered and there is a discussion about what Rav Pappa saw. "The Holy one blessed is He, said to the heavenly court since 'since he does not stand on his principal, he is tolorent of others who wronged him, Do not take a strict stand against him " He who pardons transgression and overlooks sin... Who's transgression does he pardon? "One who overlooks sins committed against himself."

It has been one year now since this took place, I'm not feeling so well. But I'm looking at everything much differently than last year. I fell to sleep here and there this year and wasted some time but I did not fall back into my coma. I'm trying, and I have not forgotten that time is short maybe, very short? But what matters the most is what we do with it! Please help me and together we can help the whole world to become a better place. Think positivly, Do not judge others actions or deeds they are not our business. Only what we do to others is of our concern. Look and find the good in yourself and in others, and in each and everything of everyday. Thank Hashem for everything, for even the seemingly bad is full of good.
"Our job is to find it, expose it and raise up the good out of the seemingly bad of this life. Then you'll start to live! Each of us can be an example of truth and goodness to someone else. Stop being selfish with your time for it's not yours anyway. Stop to steal from our Father in Heaven!", "as every thing is His" "The whole world is full of His glory"!!!

And by our not thanking Him for all. We are stealing from His goodness so there is less for others. Please, please dear brothers and sister stop, right now, stop and think? None of us knows whether we have another minute let alone and hour or day. So stop in your tracks right now! Make a firm commitment to change a little each day. Just a little more good can bring the redemption who knows if the next positivey thought you have may be the one. Please I way not be here to se it but you might be so help yourself pray for someone.

Pray for me! Nathanael Levi Ben Chana Sharah for Refuah Shelaimah

Shalom Reb Nati
