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.

Hashem Protects Kayin

With an אות

Rashi says etched into his forehead

But doesn’t reveal which letter of Hashem’s Name

The Zohar says it was the letter vav

Also says it was אות הברית

The human condition is curable

רופא חולי עמו ישראל

The eighth brocho of shemoneh esreh

וישם יהוה לקין אות

Find the connection

And live it

אליו ולא למדותיו

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.
