Mazal Tov on the Publication of New Hard Hard Core Nanach Book

Our Israeli Nanach Brother - Micha - currently working in Swan Lake for Bubov, has just published a book which he compiled from some of the most hard core diburim of Rabbi Nachman, Rabbi Nusson, Saba and other Breslover Chasidim. The book is 310 pages, I haven't seen it yet, but I am looking forward. Micha gave out the book to many of the Bubovers - you can or maybe you can not imagine their reactions.

MAZAL TOV!

Catskills

Here's how I got to the Catskills. Hanging out by my one of my favorite hangouts - Shomer Shabos of Boro Park, maybe its a bechina of EY, but I really enjoy chilling there with the guys, they have some of the most tripped out people imaginable, so there's a Belzer Dayan named Shimmel or something (supposedly the guys very sick, BH"Y bizchus him hearing Nanach and about Nanach he'll have a complete recovery very soon, and he'll join our happy Nanach ranks) and a bunch of Chasidim looking to get to the mountains and somehow I find myself saying that for $150 I'll take them, and next thing you know it they pack into the van, someone goes to buy us drinks and stuff, people are converging on the van to check out what's going on, and then people see our new NA NACH license plates and their taking pictures, and we can't drive, but eventually, halfway down the block, they gave us enough room to slip away, and then began an over 2 hour brainwashing session - with me screaming in order to be heard over the rushing wind coming in through the non air conditioned Nanach van. They soaked in every word, they got their moneys worth! They got to hear most of the Sipur Hiskarvus and Miracle of the receiving of the Petek. Once I was here I decided to hang out here and I already posted some of the festivities that took place. B"H I just hooked up with an old friend of my father who lives in Bridgeport and would love to have some 'hard core Breslover Chasidim' who need to be in Bridgeport for 'business', over for Shabos, and so we might just take him up on the offer and go chill by the Gathering of the Vibes, tonight, Friday, Saturday night, and Sunday. The real party of course is Shabos Kodesh, we're going to get a real feel for it in Bridgeport. Some of the guys we hooked up with in the Orb are thinking of going, now that we're going, so we might have a full Nanach presence.
Who can imagine, who can fathom, who can contemplate the heavenly uproar us little Nanach are causing in all the worlds?!!!!!!!!!!!
It's good, it's really good, it's great, its gevalllllld, IT'S
NA NACH NACHMU NACHMUN MAYUMAN!!!!!

Hashem puts us exactly where we gutto be

Here I was about to post some of the hafatza I was zoche to do, I found this quite library and was settling down to get down as much of it as I can. Along comes this guy and gets hours and hours of brainwashing, and so this post will have to wait. BH"Y we will post new footage of the bochurim of South Falsburg rejoicing and getting into Nanach. If you go back to the post about the party we made on Isru Chag HaPetek you can see a video of part of the party.
There probably will be a big party this Shabos in Monsey, anyone without anywhere else to go who would like to join should contact me asap. There is a chance we will go to the Gathering of the Vibes in Bridgeport, Ct.

Here's some footage of the South Fallsburg Yeshiva dancing, rejoicing, and celebrating Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman:

Closet Nanach

Last Pesach I was by my Parents home, my Grandfather who was also there was a little skeptical about Na nach the entire time.

After Yom Tov he pulled out his Tefilin bag that had his two names written on the front, one of them being Noach.

"Hay Zaddy I did not know that you had Nach written on your bag, I did not know that you were a closet Nanach"

There was not much room for an answer.

Learn Chok. Walk before the Lord with Nanach

The numerical value of Chok (חק) is the same as Nanach (נ נח). So learn Chok!
In todays Chok we learn the following from the Zohar:

פתח רבי יוסי ואמר, המוליכך במדבר הגדול והנורא, בההוא מדברא שלטא סטרא אחרא, ובעל כרחיה אזלו ישראל עליה ותברו חיליה, ארבעין שנין. ואי ישראל ישתכחו זכאין באינון ארבעין שנין, הוה מתעברא ההוא סטרא אחרא מעלמא, ומדקא ארגיזו ליה לקודשא בריך הוא כל אינון זמנין, אתתקף ההוא סטרא, ונפלו כלהו תמן תחות רשותיה, ע"כ.
Rabbi Yossi opened and said, (the verse says,) who has brought you in the large and awesom desert, in the desert which the other side rules, and Israel were forced against there will to to go there and break its power, for forty years. If Israel would have been found rightious in those forty years, the other side would have been removed from the world, and because the angered the Holy Blessed He all those times, that side was strengthened, and they all fell under his rule.

Often we read the trials and tribulations of the Israelites in the desert and we wonder how they could have been so evil to not listen to G-d and to Moshe, but in fact we are in the same prediciment. We are very much in the desert, and to us too it is clear that there is One G-d who created the world and who chooses what is to be done, and there is One Tzadik that was provided to guide us is the service and connection to G-d, yet we keep falling to our temptations and we do not listen properly to what we know and what we are being told.
How do we redeem ourselves and make everything turn out ok? With Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman!
Even of the condemned Israelites of the generation of the desert it is said: כה אמר ה' זכרתי לך חסד נעוריך אהבת כלולותיך לכתך אחרי במדבר ... so says G-d I have remembered for you the kindness of your youth the love or your enrapture your going after me in the desert etc.. This reveals that the power of Chesed is stronger than the guilt that was incurred. Therefore we must utilize the strongest Chesed existent - the song of Chesed - Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman!
The Chesed of Nanach is so strong that it will turn everything good. The chesed ot the generation of the desert is called 'going after G-d', the chesed of Nanach however is much stronger it is 'going before G-d' (this is a difference pointed out by the commentaries in many places particularly differentiating between the devotion of Noach and Avrohom. In another place I have theorized that this may also have been the supriority of the Besht over the Magid). The rules of Nanach have not been fully determined, there don't seem to be a full set, and everyone is demanded to forge ahead and reveal his unique way of understanding and illuminating G-d - as we prayed in Likutay Tefilos from yesterdays Chok. This is really going before G-d, and it reverses all bad into good, because bad is just fallen into, and when a person goes before good, he puts whatever it is that there is in front of Him, because he rises and raises the situation to a beneficial one.

New Music

BH"Y nanach.net is now offering nanach music. On the side of the site there's a link to nanach music, and/or a little button that says on it nanach music. Simply click on the link or the button and you can access the music we have made available. So far I have uploaded almost 80 of my own songs. Most of these songs are accompanied by just one guitar, but there are a few exceptions. BH"Y I'll fill the songs with more music, but so far that's all I was zoche to. Enjoy.
Also offered are two tracks from Shlomo Carlbach, one in which he sings the holy Petek repeating the holy name Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman numerous times. The second is a radio interview in which Shlomo asserts his belief in Nanach and recomends others to follow suit.
There is also one song from our very own YS H"Y should bless him and give him more and more blessing, in fact he should be most blessed (a phrase I picked up from him).
BH"y in the near future we will upload the sold out - Shakua Birabainu - from Shlomo.

What's happening

BH"y on Friday, right before Shabos we received a big delivery from E"Y, we still didn't get a chance to check out what's inside, but it's 3 decent size boxes, also a bag of Kipas and stickers. Special thanks to Yonason Shapiro for his mesirat nefesh to bring us the goods, may he be blessed from G-d with all the blessings of Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman (he already was rewarded in an unbelievable way, but that's for him to tell).
Shabos Kodesh I spent with TS in Wildwood State Park (in the Hamptons), this was the brainchild of Bria of Staten Island, and hashgacha brought together a bunch of us, some 20 Jews for Chag HaPetek. On Shabos an old time Yeshiva boy pulled his Expedition into our area, just to give you an idea what's going on in the world. [People, smoking, came by to wish us Good Shabbos - so what's so hard to understand why I prefer to great and answer people Nanach?! At least Nanach is a truthful message which will not be misconstrued!]
Today EL made a Seudas Hodah for the birth of his daughter. This was a special indication of the importance of Chag HaPetek which was yesterday (except for a solitary comment on nanach.net which claims that the Petek was received on the 24th - today, it is interesting to note that there are discussions on Rashi on the Tora, if I remember correctly, as to when Moshe went back up, on the 17th or 18th), making today Isru Chag - which halachicly calls for extra and enlarged meals!
The festivities took place in the Breslov of Flatbush, 1909 New York ave, between J and K, run by Aron Berlin. It was a great party, B"H, and BH"Y we'll post a few videos we took.

Rebbe Nasons Hisbodedute

Many people think that Likkutay Tefilot is a compilation of logically composed prayers. They think that Rebbe Nasson sat there analyzing Rebbe Nachmans toras, extracting the main points then writing them over in prayer format in a series of several drafts.

This however is not true. Likkutay Tefelot is a book of Rebbe Nasons personal Hisbodedute. Very similar to this is Sefer Tehilim that is a book composed of David Hamelechs Hisbodedute sessions.

Now that we know this, if a person has problems speaking to Hashem in Hisbodedute, he should read a lot of Likkutay Tefilot. This will help teach him how to express himself properly. Additionally if a person feels that he can not open his mouth and do Hisbodedute then he should do an hour of Likutay Tifilot instead.

Protection from the Saba

There was a period of time that the Saba lived in Tel Aviv. As he usually did in his path of holiness, the Saba would awaken every night at Chatzot and then recite the Tikun Chatzot in great yells and earth shattering cries. It did not take long for all his neighbors to gather against him. Complaining that he was disturbing their sleep, they caused the Saba enough trouble until he was forced to leave the building.

Immediately after the Saba moved out of the building many strange and terrible problems started to afflict the residents of the building. This continued until the residents of the building were forced to come begging the Saba to return to his apartment and his service of Hashem.

When the Saba returned all the trouble, problems and suffering happening in the building suddenly ceased.

The Tzion Erev Rosh Hashana

German TV

Yeah, it was a crew of about three jews and what looked like a righteous goy. The director was turned off to Judaism early in life, for reasons you could imagine. Years now he has been seeing the Na Nach vans around Israel doing the Na nach thing and found it really attractive. He saw us dancing at the Abuhav shul and contacted one of us. They are interested in doing a half hour documentary human interest story. It will end up in Uman and be aired at the end of October in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with an audiance of about 5 to 8 million people, with the possibility of selling the show to other channels. They seem to be sincere and genuinely interested in Na Nach, At the end of the meeting we sold them a set of english books and a Music CD. I am trying to make sure that the focus will be on Na Nach and not so called other "Breslov" groups. They are interested mostly in the aspect of Breslov that is spreading the word and we told them that that is Na Nach!. All in all it looks like the man wants to make Jews look good in the eyes of the goyim and feels that Na Nach is the most positive light to offer the world. Of course we think so too. It seems that we were working on the same page. It appears to me that the age of Na Nach has begun and that the Rebbe is choosing to show himself in the world. Please pray and Na Nach for us that we are able to do our part to convey to the world exactly what the Rebbe wants. So far though it looks really good. Na Nach!

Interview with German TV

4 reporters from german tv came over yesterday to interview some members of our Na Nach group for the production of their new documentary on Breslov. I myself was not there since I have a personal agenda against gemans, so Yosef or one of the others will have to post the details of the meeting.

More Na Nach Propaganda Fliers

Grant for $130 given for the publication of more Na Nach propaganda fliers. So far there were 10,000 printed in the US and Eretz Yisroel. Our stock in Tzfat has run out and we are printing more to pass out to all tourists and people that come wandering through our city.

His soul will rest in good - Nanach

Today while saying the prayer of tachanun (psalm 25, as is the main halacha, practiced by Bresluv, sfardim, and kabalists) saying the verses: who is a man that fears G-d... his soul will rest in good - מי זה האיש ירא אלקים ... נפשו בטוב תלי"ןI realized that the word rest (with the word itself) is the numerical value of Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman!

The Parable of Yahudosa ben Qardun

The Parable of Yahudosa ben Qardun

Translated by Professor Avraham Chaim Na Nach

The history of Yahudosa ben Qardun is preserved in an anonymous collection of obscure midrashim on the Tanach. He lived in the First Temple period, but all other details are unknown.

The Philistines were once again strengthened,and were threatening the Israelites with the support of the Egyptians and Edomites. The Children of Israel were tired of war and caught in the snare of avoda zara, which was accompanied by promiscuity and a love for money.

But at the same time there was peace, or so it seemed, except for the occasional border clashes. No one wanted to speak out against the weakening of the peoples' faith and the danger that was posed by the growing power of Israel's enemies.

The King and his advisors advocated a policy of peace and conciliation to the Philistines and their allies. The people who had fallen into avoda zara praised the King for his policies for it gave them greater opportunity to build relationships for trade, intermarriage and idolatry.

The sages of this time were content as well. They were given large stipends from the King and awarded great honor in the eyes of the people. And though it was a direct violation of the words of the Torah, they did not protest when the King entered into a treaty with the Philistines. They justified this to themselves saying, “Why should I speak if no one will listen to me?” “Now is not the time.” “If I speak out, I will be killed, and my people need me.”

The King declared a time of peace and in his speeches he said: “Shalom is the name of God, and there is no greater vessel for blessing than peace.” The sages nodded in agreement and the people were pleased.

And so the idolatry continued to spread amongst the people...and the danger from abroad grew.

At this time there lived a young man named Yahudosa ben Qardun. Yahudosa lived far from the city and its politics. He was a student of the prophets and lived with his small circle of students serving Hashem with prayer, meditation and fasting. He was a humble, young man and despite his great learning made himself appear simple to those around him.

One night after a long period of seclusion and fasting, Yahudosa awoke in his cave. He heard a motion and thought someone was stealing from his sacks. It was dark so he lit a lamp but saw nothing. He then rose for his midnight prayers.

Before dawn he went to his sack to put on his tallit and tefilin. He picked up his tallit and as he unfolded it a piece of parchment fell out. He was surprised because he did not leave this parchment with his things. He picked up the parchment and written upon it was the phrase “David Melek Israel, Chai V'Qyam” and some other letters that seemed to be secret names of angels.

“Where did this come from? Did someone enter my cave last night and put this into my tallit sack? But who? I am here all alone and no one knows where I am? Was it an angel?”

Yahudosa looked at the parchment and wondered what it could mean. He read it over and over again and contemplated each of the Hebrew letters in the secret name, and then suddenly a song entered his heart and he began to sing and to dance. In these words he received a prophetic vision of the redemption and the revelation of God's presence. His entire body was filled with inexplicable joy like he had never felt in his life. He began to laugh out loud. He danced and danced until past sundown and into the night.

He returned back to his village and to his fellow students and friends. He wanted to tell them what had happened but he knew that they would not believe him. “Yahudosa received a parchment from an angel? God was doing miracles for him? How ridiculous!”

They would think he was crazy. And anyway, how could he even communicate the vision that he was given. He meditated upon this and concluded that there was no way to speak of these things. The only thing he could do was sing these words and share his happiness and pray that this prophecy would be communicated.

And so he did. He went about his days singing and dancing and laughing with joy: “David Melek Israel, Chai V'Qyam”!! As he continued to sing this song his joy continually increased. People enjoyed it at first but they they began to laugh and make fun of him. They said that he had spent too much time in a cave and had gone mad. This did not bother Yahudosa and he continued to share his song and his joy and laughter with the children and young people who loved him. He saw that the adults were more concerned about their honor and their money, and were not free in their soul like the children and young people to be joyful. He explained to his community that Moshe Our Teacher taught that we must serve God with joy, and that this was the best protection against all harm and would bring us favor in the the eyes of God. Some understood and began to sing his song and follow in his ways.

The King and his advisors began to fear the song. They saw it as a threat to their policies. “Yahudosa is inciting the people against the King and his policies of peace. He is arousing them to the violent ways of war in the name of David ben Yishai.” And so the King and his advisors plotted to kill Yahudosa. They made several attempts but each time they failed. One time they sent their assassin out and he killed another man in the village name Yahudosa, and this caused a great uproar. It seemed that Yahudosa was indeed protected by angels and they began to fear him.

Yahudosa did not fear them at all, and he spoke out directly against the King's policies and the sages that supported him. “The King is a servant of God and he must be given his proper honor. But when his policies go against the Holy Torah of Hashem, we cannot sit quiet. The sages are cowards, concerned only about their honor and money, and our people have fallen into the pit of idolatry. These are simple words of truth. We must not fear any man, only God Himself.”

The sages did not sit by idly but attacked Yahudosa in return calling him a madman and a fool. “Is Yahudosa a sage or a dyan? Is he a son of kings or sages? He is nobody, Who is he but a simple, villiage fool who thinks himself a prophet? And what is his prophecy? The song and dance of a clown for children. He is not to be taken seriously.”

Yahudosa did not care. He continued to sing and to dance and to laugh, and he continued to speak the truth. The children and youth listened and they received the light of his prophecy. They knew in their hearts that he was defending the Torah and the Will of God. The young people were not fooled by images of money and honor. They were pure and they loved truth. The King and the sages could call Yahudosa was a fool and a false prophet, but they knew better. These children grew to become adults and understood that the true prophet is one who stands up for truth, especially when an entire generation is silent. In the time of darkness the true prophet carries the torch of the Torah and its light of joy and purity. Yahudosa passed away but his song was sung louder and louder and it eventually awakened the people of Israel to their mission to serve Hashem, smash the idols of idolatry and defend themselves against their enemies. Na Nach Nachma Nachman m'Uman!

In honor of Chag HaPetek

The Fast of the Seventeenth of Tamuz commemorates many devestating blows the Jewish people suffered, formost the breaking of the first tablets. Saba commiserated with the sad events when he found himself eating on that day.
The Talmud, Tractate Yuma (4: or thereabouts) discusses what it says in the Torah that Moshe Rabbainu went up to the mountain 7 days and the cloud covered him. Where these 7 days part of the 40 days and nights, or an additional seperate 7 days? The Talmud says we can not say that they are seperate, because counting 47 days from the giving of the Tora would mean the Moshe Rabbainu came down from the mountain and broke the tablets on the - 23 of Tamuz....
This is an unbelievable revelation from the Talmud! For it known that the 'suggestions' (הוה אמינא) of the Talmud are higher than the 'conclusions' (מסקנה). For the 'suggestions' come from when all the gates are open and shining, whereas the 'conclusions' are the restrained constricted verdict. Thus the Talmud is revealing here the awsesomeness of the 23 of Tamuz - Chag Hapetek, for according to this suggestion in the Talmud, it is not enough 40 days of preperation for this holy day, an additional 7 days are necessary. It is not for not that the Saba fasted and suffered from the 17 of Tamuz till he recieved the Petek on the 23!!! We too must take advantage of these next few days to prepare for Chag HaPetek!

Moshiac

Gimatria Na Nach Nachma Nachman is 354 plus four for the four groupings of letters is the exact Gimatria of Moshiach. nun=50, nun chet=58, nun chet mem = 98 nun chet mem nun = 148, 50+58+98+148=354 plus 4 = 358. Mem shin yud chet = 354. MeUman = Ha kabel "the receiving" hey, quoph, bet, lamed. So Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman is equal to "The receiving of Moshiac"

Chag HaPetek This Shabos

This Shabos - Parshas Matos - is 23 Tamuz - Chag HaPetek!
The reason we don't say halel (with a bracha), some say is because the singing of the Petek is the halel! - just as we find by Purim, the reading of the Megila is considered the halel.
On Sunday BH"Y EL will IY"H be making a 'kidush' for his daughter in Flatbush at the new Berlin Breslov shul (open only on Shabos) 1909 New York Ave, between J & k.

South Fallsburg Yeshiva

About 7 years ago when I was studying Kabala in the Lakewood Yeshiva - Simcha Room, I was sitting amongst a bunch of SF alumni. We got to speaking, I even made an wee-early morning party for them. They explained to me the situation of the Yeshiva in SF, apparently there closest neighbor does real idol worship (which at that time was somewhat rare in our part of the world) and they explained to me the idea of their 2 Rosh Yeshiva which I am not at the liberty to divulge, however this much I can say, that although it goes without saying that no one should be at all envious of any Rosh Yeshiva, for they are misleading the entire world, however R' Elya Ber Wachtfogel has some strong nekudos tovos, probably for this reason he has a son who is considered by many to be a Breslover. R' EBW has a practice to always mention a Zohar or something related in his speeches, and then to make a comment alluding to the fact that the people probably don't posses the book or know nothing about it. The other RY is a guy name Aba, and as his name infers, he's a big guy.... but my friend Miskin from Toronto got engaged to his daughter, I wonder what came out of that. In any event, last week, TS, Yaakov Shurun, and myself pulled up in front of their yeshiva with the Nanach van blasting our stuff, I got out to dance, and the boys started to come out. Then this guy - one of Abba's son in laws, comes out - chest first - ready to show his stuff - he goes straight to the drivers seat - and drives the van - with the back doors open - down the driveway - some 100 meters. Meanwhile I'm conversing with the guys, they tell me to come back at 10 pm, no chance of that because we were on our way to Camp Bisco. So I ask them for their Rosh - R' EB but apparently he wasn't around - a shame - because he really appreciated my book on the Ramchal and from the few times I met with him he seemed to take a keen interest in my findings. So if anyone out there can get a hold of him, don't give up on him - tell him about Nanach - maybe there's a chance. Consider that the yeshiva guys posted on youtube a video of themselves dancing Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman. Well Abba and his son in law threatened us that they were going to call the police, and we left them that way in their misery.
NNNNM!
This story is dedicated to our dedicated Dun Aryeh who has a strong and healthy hatred and animosity for the Yeshivas, except for his own that he keeps trying to make. He has his own maaseh shehuya, what he did to another Yeshiva head named Abba, and what happened to Abba's chair, it's a good maaseh, maybe he'll tell you about it sometime.
NNNNM!

Hafatza at Rebbe Shimon

Me and Emes "G" went to Rebbe Shimon on the 17th of Tammuz and were doing our Na Nach thing when a group of 50 or so Russian teens came in. I think that they were with a Chabad "Rebbe". They noticed that my hat (a Yerushalmi "super") had a giant Rainbow Na Nach on it, each one wanted a picture with me in it and them wearing the hat. I allowed pictures on the condition that they, each one, say Na Nach in full and then learn the swipe. We took pictures with the swipe hand sign and gave out stickers to each one. They were very happy and took a lot more pictures of us dancing and singing Na Nach. All in all Na Nach became the word and I think that we made an impression, we will let the Rebbe do the rest. It was a Na Nach success story.

More about Camp Bisco

There is no question that we pulled off a major feat. This was a 'festival'? At least the Orb (the week before) had a lake, this place.... People travelled from all over to be there, and they payed to get in, just to see some 'meforsam' rock star? (Well also to get drugged up and stoned out, but they didn't have to travel so far for that). So in the midst of this empty sheker, Rabbainu, Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman - made a little appearance, and what he did, that's not something we'll merit to fully comprehend maybe not even in the next world, but he knows what to do and how to do it!!! Our job is not to get in the way. Just bring Na Nach everywhere, and let Rabbainu do his thing, the Na Nach thing!
We connected with some very high and holy souls, we showed alot of people a very good time, and greatly inspired the multitudes. People were especially taken by the 'breakdancing' on the roof of the Nanach van. As soon as I can I'm going to post a little clip of our site there. For the meantime here's a short clip I took on Motzai Shabbos:

Greater Inclination

Most people know what our holy sages have taught, that the greater a person is the stronger his/her evil inclination will be. Many people have questioned me about this, because we know that our holy sages were much much holier and greater than we can even conceptualize, yet they did not have to confront the sheer evils and impurties simple people like us are drowning in, so how can we say that they had a stronger evil inclination?
Until now I understood it as follows. As a person reaches greater spiritual hights he will have to fight and overcome the evil at each stage, when a person is at great hights he will be confronted with the roots of the evil, which for those below don't appear too threatining however they are in fact the roots of the whole thing, and especially for a person on the same level as the root, there will a very serious threat, much more than those suffering just from the blossomed evil. Thus we find, especially in the Zohar, great wars the tzadikim fought against the evil side. The Zohar (especially explained in the beginning of Adir Bamorom by the Ramchal) describes King Dovids battles and those of Moshe Rabbainu. The Zohar also relates how when one of the holy students of the Rashbi who for one second did not think of G-d was immediately attacked by a snake.
Recently G-d has granted me greater clarity and understanding in this issue. The great sages had far greater evil inclination than us, it is just that we are in the midst of the evil. At higher levels it may be (not always, but that's not for now) more apparent what the evil is, however there will be a greater inclination to give in, where as at a lower level the person might not even be clear about how something is evil or not, and the person will find himself tempted to do all sorts of things, the temptation doesn't have to be so strong because the position the person is in allows for the slightest push to cause him to do its desire. The greater the person is, the less he will be entrenched in the evil, and the inclination will have to be much more powerful (a stronger 'ruach' - spirit). When a person lusts, how strong is the lust, is it that he finds himself in such and such an atmosphere so he begins to desire it, or is he overcome by strong forces of lust. Of course everyone thinks that they were forced by strong spirits, but the reality is that the greater the person is the stronger those impulses and forces will be.
The more a person is sunk in this world he will be operating on very low levels of spiritual forces. The more a person detaches himself from this world, especially by sactifying himself, the more his life will be effected by the spiritual forces, he will begin to encounter forces of enormous strength and power, and life will start to get very interesting.

We would like to thank an Anonymous donor for paying the 3 tickets for the weekend festival.
There was a lot of Hafatza done and it is a great merit.

15,000 Times Nanach

This Shabbos we had almost 2 minyanim at the Na Nach Tzfat Seudah Shlishit. First Dovid Nanach made some zikaron for his grandmother. Later by the third meal many nanaches showed up at the tzion of Rebbe Yosi Banah, including the latest members of the Na Nachman cult, Refal, Ashur and Shimon.

Somewhere along the way it was decided that we had to do the tikkun of reciting Na Nach over 10,000 times. Gidalya has the math worked out, but we had close to 20 Nanaches dancing and singing nanach for a very long time.
