Cheshvan Wardrobe

Key Takeaways

  • Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai’s teachings emphasize unity, teamwork, and communal interdependence as the foundation of spiritual life and the path to redemption.
  • The month of Cheshvan (Bul) is associated with the Mabul (flood), symbolizing dissolution and the breakdown of unity.
  • True connection to Klal Yisrael must be rooted in a personal connection to Hashem, not merely national pride or habit.
  • Learning Torah must precede davening — one must first hear what Hashem wants before speaking to Him.
  • All Torah learning and davening should be performed lishmah — for the sake of Hashem and world rectification, not personal gain.
  • A single truly cohesive community (Knishta Khada) is sufficient to bring the redemption.
  • The Ramchal’s exclusive Beis Midrash in Italy required members to commit that all their Avodah be entirely for Hashem’s plan, with no personal spiritual gain sought.

Noach Wasn’t Jewish

Noach Wasn’t Jewish

Nor was Adam

Yet Jews are termed Adam

אתם קרויים אדם

Torah Jews commonly name their boys Noach

Not Adam

Noach is called איש צדיק תמים

Adam isn’t

Bnei Noach who keep Shabbos

Cannot survive

Jews who openly violate Shabbos

Forfeit their identity

Avraham Avinu kept Shabbos

And might have sung about Noach

As we do today

Shabbos sheltered Adam

כי אשמרה שבת

Not Noach

We’re זרע אברהם

Not זרע נח

Or זרע אדם

Shabbos is our wife

זכה עזר

לא זכה כנגדו

Sichos HaRan 27-35

Key Takeaways

  • Learning Halacha daily is emphasized as a primary spiritual remedy in Breslov practice, more so than studying Rebbe Nachman’s own writings.
  • The concept of Ratzon (will/desire) was clarified as referring to one’s essential connection to Hashem’s name, transcending wisdom and faith.
  • A person conceived in holiness is less susceptible to philosophical doubt. Even inherited spiritual deficiencies can be rectified through sincere effort.
  • Hitbonenut/Hitbodedut (personal prayer/talking to Hashem) was highlighted as a practical tool to break emotional and spiritual barriers.
  • Gematria connections were shared linking Emunah, Banim, Tzedakah, and Avraham Avinu, reinforcing the session’s themes.
  • The Sefer Haredim, available on the LNegdi Talmud website, was recommended as a structured resource for daily Halacha study.

Yeshivas Rashbi

Chatzos Kollels have become popular in recent years. Only the Zohar emphasizes the importance of this practice. It’s repeated there dozens of times.

 

With the haskama of Rav Moshe Shapiro zt”l I encourage people to learn this way themselves whenever possible.

 

When we can’t, next best is to sponsor someone who can. The ideal subject of learning after chatzos is Kabbala.

 

$1500 will sponsor a talmid chochom learning kabbala in Yeshivas Rashbi for a month.

Stealth Kollel

Twenty years ago a colleague in the Mir discovered a number of talmidei chachomim struggling financially who refused to receive tzedaka. He outsmarted them.

 

They were invited to join a Shabbos kollel paying them nicely for learning they were doing anyway wherever they want. Donors don’t know the recipients, and the recipients don’t even know they’re receiving tzedaka. This is the Stealth Kollel.

 

Stealthily supporting thirty world class talmidei chachomim learning in Yerushalayim. The most ideal form of tzedaka, as stipulated in Bava Basra 9a.

 

There are no expenses and no advertising. 100% tzedaka.

 

Sponsoring one avrech for a month is $1000. But donations of any size are warmly welcomed.
