Garden of Shalom

The Garden of Peace/Gan HaShalom is a book by Rav Arush on Shalom Bayit, cruically for men only. It is based on the teachings of our sages, and is for men at any stage, from beginning to date through to married with children. Some excerpts are on http://breslovworld.com, and the book is available, in Hebrew or English, for the low price of USD 10.

Breslov London recently found out that Rav Ivan Ziskind of the JLE gives his "Yes Dear" marriage and dating classes for men based on this sefer. This is tremdous, and the shiurim are popular, accessable and highly reccomended.

Erez

This is the song of Erez Levanon, who died al kidush hashem. It gives me spiritual inspiration, and carries a message of kedusha, simcha and hope

Flying to Uman via Italy?

It looks as if your Emuna in reaching the Rebbe for Rosh Hashana has paid off, with Alitalia saved for a bit.

Rebbe Nachman's Chair

This is a photo I took of Rebbe Nachman's chair in the Breslov yeshiva in Yerushalyim. The chair is sitting in an office, but there was evidently something special about it, being where such a holy man as Rebbe Nachman sat.

Nu?

This blog has been relativly quiet recently...

Don't worry - the shuirim at Reb Bell's are continuing. People are planning their Uman trips, and the other week I met a seller of a wide range of Breslov seforim from Stamford Hill.

Please feel free to email the blog, and make suggestions, comments, divrei torah etc.

Press article on Breslov Research Institute shiurim in London

Breslov Research Institute opens U.K. branch with new series of Shiurim

Following the recent successful visit to London of the founder of BRI Yerushalayim, Rabbi Chaim Kramer, the Breslov Research Institute UK is set to launch a new series of shiurim starting next week in Golders Green.

The shiurim will be given by Reb Yitchok Bell, director of the Breslov Research Institute UK. They will be based on “Restore My Soul - Meshivas Nefesh” a collection of teachings from Rebbe Nachman and his talmid Reb Noson, dealing with inner strength and optimism. They will also cover the subject matter of the recent Breslov publication “Hidden Treasures - How to Realize Your Potential”- by Rabbi Chaim Kramer with Reb Yitzchok Bell.

BRI in the UK will be based in North West London. There will be shiurim and classes, translation work of Breslov writings, as well as personal counselling based on Rebbe Nachman’s teachings.

In a world that bombards us with foreign ideologies and misguided reasoning, the teachings of Rebbe Nachman provide an honest and clear guide to a happy and fulfilled life.

BRI was formed in 1979 to accurately research and publish the works of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov and his talmidim. It has since produced over 60 titles including those in English, Hebrew, Spanish, Russian and French.

It is the intention of the BRI. UK to follow the shiurim in Golders Green with a series in Edgware.

Reb Yitchok can be contacted on 0796 223 3566.

Tonight's shiur

Tonight with Reb Yitzchok we continued learning Reb Nosson's writing in L.Tefilot about being young vs.being old. The text linked this concept with tefilin, and inour discussions we talked about how our davening should be different each time, due to both ourselves and the spiritual and physical worlds being different. Reb Yitzchok mentinoed the concept of "Rak HaYom" or "only today".

In other news, Reb Chaim Kramer is slated to come to London in a few weeks - watch this space....

The power of a chasidic story

I read these pages from the book "The garden of yearning", a commentary of Rebbe Nachman's story "The Lost Princess", elucidated by Rav Shalom Arush and translated by Rav Lazer Brody. It can be purchased for not much at http://lazerbrody.typepad.com/

Reb Yitzhock's Shiur moved to Tuesday

The weekly mens shiur, which I highly reccomend, has moved to same time and place, but shall be taking place IYH on Tuesday nights until further notice.

Uman 2006

I was zoche to be by the kever of Rebbe Nachman for Rosh Hashana two years ago. This past Rosh Hashana I didn't make it, having got married two weeks previously. Many chevra from London did make the trip though, and intend to do so this year for Rosh Hashana 5769. Here are some photos from when I was there:

Tonight's shiur

Tonight at Reb Yitzock's we had a discussion on the Rebbe's idea of taking each day as new, and how each hisbodedus and davening of the Rebbe was fresh and different. One of the attendees shared with us a difficulty he feels Hashem has granted him, and we shared advice on how to overcome obstacles in our way.

Much more was discussed, and bezras hashem we'll go on to look at likutei halochos inside to see how Reb Nosson brings down Rebbe Nachman's teachings in this area.

Halacha

Breslover teachings mandate study and practice of normative halacha.

See http://halocho.blogspot.com/ for daily halocos, hopefully restarting soon.

Uman 2008

The matza has all been eaten, and we are springing into summer - it's time to think about spending Rosh Hashanna by the Rebbe in Ukraine - Alitalia are offering flights to Kiev for around £220 for R.H - anybody interested?
also, anybody know anything about tent accommodation in Uman for R.H?

Kol tov

S

TONIGHT - Reb Yitzock's Shiur restarting

We resume B'H this Monday 12^th May at 8.45pm – 'Enthusiasm and Patience' from Likutei Halochos. Looking forward to seeing you all then - can't wait!

Gut Shabbos

Yitzchok
