Scroll down to listen to part 2 of our discussion on truth. Listen to part 1 here.
What is the spiritual meaning of truth, and can we ever, truly know truth? What is Tiferet? What is true peace? What is absolute truth? What is our personal mission when it comes to discovering truth? How should we view (Torah believing) people with differing views than us? Based on the lessons of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. Plus, a fascinating comment/question from a student.
In this class we take themes from Rebbe Nachman’s lesson 5 as well as Reb Noson’s abridged version, and explore real-life applications. How to know yourself, how to implant joy in your heart, philosophical ideas and how they can dull our sense of joy and connection to Hashem, how your energetic personal prayer provides the “thunder” you need to bring yourself to joyful connection, the contextual meaning of “tikkun olam”, and more.

From BRI Breslov.org YouTube videos:
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov cautioned people against studying secular and even Jewish philosophy. How could knowledge be harmful? Isn’t more information always better? Rebbe Nachman explains that when philosophy poses unanswerable questions (sometimes along with weak, flawed “answers”) it erodes emunah (faith.) Ultimately, Torah and traditional Jewish wisdom touches on every subject under the sun, but when the faithless give credence to ideas that can best be described as black holes of thought, atheism, hopelessness, and nihilism can take root. Chaya Rivka Z. explains.
Chaya Rivka Zwolinski teaches Rebbe Nachman of Breslov wisdom to English speakers around the world, using a psychospiritual approach. She leads trips for women to Uman and Jewish Ukraine and teaches in NYC and other locations.

This week’s post is on Parshas Toldos, but before I begin I’d like to say I’m sorry I haven’t posted in awhile and tell you that there’s a good reason: It’s because I’ve been working on some exciting projects.
