Join me for Rebbe Nachman’s brilliant allegorical-Kabbalistic tale, The Master of Prayer. Free live call-in at 12:15 EST on Wednesdays. While all the Rebbe’s stories and teachings are relevant for all times, this is one in which the current American and global situation will positively reverberate throughout the tale! We travel with the Rebbe through various lands (the land where they worship money, the land where they worship physical strength, and so on) and meet characters that help us make sense of our own journeys, the Master of Prayer, the Warrior, the King, the Queen, and so on. Of course, it is also packed with psychospiritual exploration for us to delve into personally, and connect to emotionally, as well.

In Rebbe Nachman’s time, smallpox was a scourge, but the smallpox vaccine saved lives. What was Rebbe Nachman’s view on this vaccine? Can we apply his advice today? There are many thoughtful conversations about medicine in general and vaccination in particular going on today, regarding Rebbe Nachman of Breslov’s point of view. It’s easy to take one statement of the Rebbe’s and use it to support a variety of viewpoints. It’s true that Rebbe Nachman strongly cautioned people about trusting in doctors. (He said to avoid them.) Some view this as a blanket statement for all times, some say that was only spoken about the medical field in his era (late 1700s-early1800s). Others take a more nuanced, blended approach. Overall, we must have faith in Hashem the true Rofeh (healer). Chaya Rivka Z. discusses.

From BRI Breslov.org YouTube videos:
Music can heal, uplift, and bring happiness. It can also agitate, drag down, and bring depression. Rebbe Nachman teaches that music, in order to exert its most beneficial effect on the soul, should come from a holy source. By choosing music that has the power to heal, we can nourish our psyche and help our soul connected to God.

From BRI Breslov.org YouTube videos:
Jewish sages teach that each body part connects us to Hashem, the Source of Life. These connections run along energy pathways which are called mitzvot. Sometimes these connections are weakened or severed, sometimes they are blocked. But we are able to improve these connections and infuse our mind, body and soul with a greater level of health. The mitzvot are the channels of healing. Chaya Rivka explains.
