“If you believe you can destroy, believe you can repair.”
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov
“… there is nothing in the world that stands in the way of {Hashem accepting) teshuvah. And even more, everyone who returns is certainly accepted by Hakadosh Baruch Hu, the Holy One Blessed be He. And if he returns, he is brought to walk the Path of Life. Then, even though he may have blemished and damaged, everything is repaired and all is restored to its pristine, original form.”
Zohar Hakadosh
Dear Friend of BreslovWoman.org,
Are you ready for the fresh spiritual energy of Rebbe Nachman’s Rosh Hashana and the profound light of the upcoming year, 5782? Are you eager to live the Rebbe’s maxim: If you believe you can destroy, believe you can repair?
Yes, YOU can truly be inspired to live your best year yet.
We have exciting programs scheduled (many of which are on the calendar, below) and there are even more in the works, for Elul, Tishrei and beyond, designed to inform, uplift, and bring joy to your life.
I created these programs for YOU. They are based on the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, and they offer real-life advice about how to achieve better relationships, genuine psychospiritual growth and joy, no matter who you are or where you are holding. All you need is true desire. As the Rebbe says: If you want, you’ll do!
But, I really need your help. We have a core group of wonderful repeat sponsors, however as our programming expands, we need more help. Each program requires planning, scheduling, advertising and promotions, announcements, class reminders, and completed audio/video/written publication on over a dozen platforms and groups. (Not to mention the most important work: class prep and teaching and following up with student phone calls, texts and emails.)
Please consider helping me share the teachings of Rebbe Nachman sponsor a mini-lesson, class or special program or two, for Elul, Tishrei, or Cheshvan. If you’ve enjoyed BreslovWoman classes and programs, why not grab an extra merit or two for the Days of Awe, by making our programs available for other women so they can be inspired too? Share the BreslovWoman joy. (For an easy how-to sponsor and available programs/dates, see below.)
In the merit of your generosity, may Hashem bless you and your family with a Fresh, Sweet New Year filled with blessings, success, good health, simcha, nachas, friendship, connection to Hashem, the true Tzaddikim, and the Jewish people, and spiritual growth, and may we merit to usher in the Mashiach and experience the Geulah speedily in our times.
Chaya Rivka Zwolinski, Director
P.S. The annual Rosh Hashana class urgently needs sponsorship NOW. See below.
To sponsor and make your dedication:
Please contact me right away via email or text/call 917-348-1573 to sponsor the Rebbe Nachman’s Rosh Hashana for Women: The Power of A New Beginning program, tentatively scheduled for August 30th in the evening. This will be the eighth year, ב״ה, that I’ve done a special Breslov program for women close to Rosh Hashana, but its the first year we might not have a sponsor! The class shows how women can connect with the Uman Rosh Hashana, experience the Rebbe’s Rosh Hashana wisdom, and stay inspired throughout Yom Tov. There is always plenty of time for Q & A. (Especially helpful, for women who are spending Rosh Hashana without their spouse but relevant to everyone.) This will be a ZOOM class.

Dear BreslovWoman Reader,
I’m so excited to tell you that the new BreslovWoman book, Mashiach: Hope for Turbulent Times (Questions & Answers about the Jewish Messiah) is now the Number 1 New Release in Jewish Theology and Number 15 on the Jewish Theology best-seller list!
Best of all, you can still get your copy in time for Shabbat Chazon and Tisha B’av. Get it instantly on Kindle or if you want the paperback, you can get it in about two days with Amazon Prime.
This introduction to the historical, mystical, and spiritual concepts of Mashiach and the Geulah offers timely, relevant Q and A for these turbulent times.
- What does the future hold?
- What should the Geula mean to me, personally?
- After Mashiach comes, will people get sick? Will they still die?
- Who and what is Mashiach? What is his real lineage, according to Jewish sources? What is his mission?
- What are the signs that Mashiach is the Mashiach?
- Are we living through the beginning (or end) of the pre-Messianice era?
- What is the war of Gog and Magog?
- And much, much more.
Mashiach: Hope for Turbulent Times contains stories and wisdom from the Tanakh (the Jewish Bible), Talmud, concepts from Kabbalah, and compelling teachings from Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, the Chofetz Chaim, the Rambam, the Ramban, the Arizal, and other sages and tzaddikim. It includes copious source notes so you can read the original texts yourself. It also contains suggested reading lists and links.
Will this Tisha B’av be a fast day or a Yom Tov? We won’t know until then, but we can and must yearn and hope that we will usher the Mashiach in speedily in our time.
With Hope,
Chaya Rivka
Now available in either digital or print, this new edition of Mashiach: Hope for Turbulent Times features a timely, revised introduction, some important textual updates, digital tools for Kindle, and a stunning new cover. You asked for shipping to other countries, and Amazon prints and ships in numerous countries. Also, you asked for a bigger text size, which is why the new print version is printed in a larger format.
However, you can still get the old version free-Just email me: crzbreslov@gmail.com with your full name & snail-mail address ( we can mail for free to the continental U.S. only.)
Mashiach: Hope for Turbulent Times is an accessible introduction to authentic Jewish teachings on the coming of the Messiah and the building of the Third Temple. Don’t let the rest of the world hijack our foundational Jewish belief in the true Messiah–learn what Torah, Kabbalah, and the Jewish sages have to say about the Mashiach and the future of the world.
