I think
There needs to be a consolidated list of emunah that Na Nach represents, that is agreed on by all.
The divisions in Na Nach are sick, why wait for Moshiach.
You do what you can, but the emunah has got to be the same.
I would like to hear what you think the emunah should be.

10x10x10=1000
Yes, my 4th post for the evening - indeed Shir Pashut, Kaful, Meshulash & Merubeh (will I go to bed before the first rays of daylight?) But it's all coming to me (the secret: I have lived the exact amount of days until tonight as Rabbeinu did when he recited his final Torah, which was on the Shir Chadash).
As you will see in my previous post, the great connection of the number 1000 with the various concepts as related to the main concepts in Breslov & Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me'Uman. There are also three 10s involved - Hashem's 10 statements, the first 10 generations, and the 10 Shiros. But you have seen nothing yet!
There are three Masechtos in the Mishna that deal with the laws of damages - Nezikin which are Bava Kama, Bava Metzia & Bava Basra - the first three Masectos in Seder Nezikin (they were actually all one Masechta at one time, named "Nezikin", but being they were so big, they were divided into three-now called "First Gate" "Middle Gate" & "Last Gate").
Each of these three Masectos have 10 chapters, thus a total of 30 chapters. Now, add this to the Gematria of the names of the three Masechtos - Bava Kama, Bava Metzia, Bava Basra & presto -
1000! Yes, the same Gematria as Ebay, Uman, Breslov, Yerushalayim!
Now, what is the beginning of Seder Nezikin - Arba'a Avos Nezikin - the four major categories of damages - Nezikin as performed by animals which are Shor-refering to trampling, Bor-pit, Mav'eh-eating & Hev'er-fire. Now, the 4th one is not an animal, but it spells out a name of an animal, and the last Yiddishe Numen of...Saba! Hev'er - Hei, Beis, Ayin, Reish, the Ber (bear).
Now, Rabbi Ovadia M'Bartenura on this brings the Posuk of "Ki Teizei Aish" - "When fire breaks out". Interesting - Ki is the Gematria of 30 like the 30 chapters of the above Masechtos, Teitzai is the Gematria of Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me'Uman (491) and Aish is the Gematria of Moharan (301)!
Now, hold on to your seat - tight! We mentioned that the four types of Nezikin- this word which begins & ends with a "Noon" like Rabbeinu's & Rabbi Nosson's names - are in the beginning of Seder Nezikin - and...as the word Teitzei, Seder Nezikin is also the Gematria of Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me'uman (491)! And for those who learn Gemara - Talmud Bavli - there are exactly 411 Dafim on the three Masechtos. corresponding to which there are exactly 411 Toros of Rabbeinu in Likutei Moharan! (286 in the 1st part, & 125 in the 2nd part) Additionally, if you count in these Masechtos the 266 Mishnayos, the 30 Perokim, and the 115 Dafim of Talmud Yerushalmi - these three numbers also add up to 411! Now, add 411 & 411, equalling 822, the same Gematria as the Posuk we just mentioned "Ki Tzeitzai Aish"! This is the Posuk on the 4th type of damage- in Tikkun terms, it's the Likutei Moharan that has come out to the open to rectify the Nezikin. (If you replace the 30 Perakim of Mishnayos with the 33 Perokim of Tosefta in the three Masechtos - you will a total of 825 instead of 822, which is the same Gematria of Ki Teitzei Aish with its three words. But most importantly, it's the same Gematria as Yisroel Dov Ber - when Dov is spelled with a Vov as is sometimes spelled - Saba's Yiddishe Numen!) How fitting - it's the beginning words of the 4th Seder of the Mishna - the name of which - Seder Nezikin - is the same Gematria as the Shir Chadash, that immediately begins the first word with FOUR! The Shir Chadash is the 4-dimension of Pashut Kaful Meshulash Meruba, the ultimate Tikkun of these four damaging aspects of mankind - pride, emptiness, desires, and anger. Morever, as I mentioned a few days in a post - the last Posuk of the 4th Aliyah of Parshas Na-N(o)ach has four terminologies of having children - Peru, Revu, Shirtzu, & Revu. Revu, the 2nd & 4th words, is the Gematria of 208. Similarly, the 2nd of the list of damages listed in the above Mishna - Bor (pit) is also the Gematria of 208, and there are exactly 208 letters in the Petek! (When U'man is spelled with a Vov, as in the above Gematria of 491). The 2nd position in the Shir Chadash - Nach, has the same lettering as Noach, the main figure and name of this weeks' Parshas Noach.
Lot to digest at one time - but I just had to let out my Chiddushei Torah which we are supposed to write down reminiscent of the LAST Mitzva of the Torah - writing a Sefer Torah (similarly, it was tonight that I wrote of Rabbeinu's LAST Torah in his lifetime about the Shir Chadash). Don't worry - you can always read my blogs again for a clearer picture, as Pirkei Avos says at the end of the 5th Perek (the very beginnng of this Perek mentions that Hashem created the world with 10 statements) "Hafoch Bah V'Hafoch Bah" - to keep going over the Torah again & again.

אב"י ר"ת אומן ברסלב ירושלים
As Saba (who is close to 120 years since his birth as Moshe Rabbeinu was at his passing) is refered to as Ebay - Alef, Beis, Yud spelling his name in reverse ישראל בער אודסר
the three letter word spells in order the burial cities of THE 3 big Tzadikim of Breslov who works are studied the most - Rabbeinu was buried in Uman - starting with an Alef, Rabbi Nosson was buried in Breslov - starting with a Beis, and Saba was buried in Yerushalayim - starting with a Yud.
Also, the word Ebay with the corresponding three cities of the Kivrei Tzadikim, together equal the Gematriya of 1000 - Elef! Elef represents the "Big Alef", as in the very first letter in Divrei HaYomim - the 24th & last Sefer of the T'nach, where the first word Adam - the name of Adam HaRishon - has a BIG Alef, and so does the 1st word of the section of the 1st Shira of the 10 Shiros begin with an Alef - Az, as well as the first word sung by Moshe & B'nei Yisroel in the Shira - Ashira. Like the BIG Alef beginning Divrei HaYomim, the beginning of the first Sefer in T'nach begins with a BIG Beis in Bereishis, the 1st of the 10 statements that Hashem said to create the world, and the 10th & last statement was "Na'aseh ADAM". The 10th generation from Adam is Noach, and Noach's unrealized potential was completed by Rabbeinu Na Nach Nachma Nachman - the 10th Shira. (See my previous post where I relate the 1st Shira to the 10th Shira)
In the 6000 years of the world's existance, they can be divided into 24 parts, corresponding to the 24 Sifrei T'nach. Thus, corresponding to the beginning of the 24th & last Sefer of T'nach - Divrei HaYomim where the very 1st letter of it begins with a big Alef, representing the concept of Elef-1000, was the period of time when Saba was living his last few years of his life around which time he visited the Kever of Rabbeinu for the very first time when it was first available to the public which was close to the year 5750, beginning the 24th & last period of 250 years in the pie of 6000 years. And as a Siman - the Posuk in Mishlei says "Ner Hashem Nishmas Adam" where Ner is the Gematriya of 250 as associated with Adam.
IN SUMMARY: 10x10x10=1000. The 10 Statements that Hashem created the world with & the 10 Generations from Adam to Noach & the 10 Songs relate to Ebay+Uman+Breslov+Yerushalayim=1000.

Rabbeinu's Last Torah (Likutei Moharan 2:8): SHIR CHADASH
It was Rabbeinu's last Rosh Hashana of his life - the only Rosh Hashana he would ever spend in his lifetime in Uman. He became gravely ill over Rosh Hashana. It was on the second night of Rosh Hashana, despite his difficult illness that he said his very last Torah, which he recited over a period of a few hours. But little did anyone know then (besides Rabbeinu), that this Torah which speaks of the Shir Chadash, would be the prediction of the Shir Chadash that would change the lives of thousands of Jews.
If it wouldn't be the lateness of the hour, I would more or less translate the section in this Torah about the Shir Chadash. But briefly, as mentioned in the Zohar, (I will be throwing in thoughts of my own too, just learn the original source to get the true meaning of Rabbeinu's Torah) this is Hashem's name like this Y, YK, YKV, YKVK which is in Gematriya 72, the same number as it equals Chesed - as in "Olam Chesed Yibane" - the world was built with KINDNESS. This is the 10th Shir/Shira of the 10 Shiros, as formulated in 10 letters, and as we know, the world was created with Hashem's 10 statements. This is all very nice, but we can't sing Hashem's name as it is - it is in fact forbidden to pronounce this very name. So, when it started with Na Nach Nachma Nachman (MeUman), we see the ultimate fulfillment of this as stated in the Zohar.
Now, the very first Shir/Shira is the Shiras Hayam, corresponding to which is the first "Noon" in Na Nach Nachma Nachman - the letter of this month of Cheshvan. Now the very first word of the section in the Torah of Shiras Hayam is "Az" which is in Gematriya 8, like Cheshvan being the 8th month counting from Nissan. (It's interesting to note that Az is the Roshei Taivos of An'im Zemiros that is sung as the end of the Shabbos morning prayers - and is also the name of a Sefer published by Shir Chadash by Rabbi Bezenson Shlita which is Divrei Torah from Likutei Halachos on the Parsha) The very first word of the actual song that Moshe & Bnei Yisrael sang is "Ashira" - I will sing.
Now, we will be showing Roshei Teivos - the letters of words that are the first letters of other words - this will absolutely amaze you!
Ashira - Alef Shin Yud Reish Hei - these letters begin with the following words:
אומן שופר ירושלים ראש השנה
Shir/Shira - Shin Yud Reish (Hei)
שופר יום-טוב ראש השנה
or
שבת יום-טוב ראש השנה
On this, we can have an explanation. In the beginning of the 4th Perek of Maseches Rosh Hashana, it says "On the Yom-Tov of Rosh Hashana when it falls out on Shabbos, they blew the Shofar in the Beis HaMikdash, but not in the rest of the country". Strange - why does the Mishna call R.H. with the "Yom Tov of R.H." instead of just R.H? Well first of all, the Likutei Halachos explains that if R.H. falls out on Shabbos, we don't need to blow Shofar, because we get the same spiritual energy from Shabbos. And both words start with a Shin, so it's the same deal for Shir/Shira having the Roshei Taivos being always applicable on R.H. But here are amazing Gematrios that will show that Shofar & Rosh Hashana have EVERYTHING to do with Yerushalayim & the Beis HaMikdash. You see Shofar & Yerushalayim (when not spelled with a 2nd Yud as it is in most places in Nach where it is spelled as such) have the same Gematriya (586) & Rosh Hashana & Beis HaMikdash have the same Gematriya (861)!
In the pamphlet "Uman B'Yeushalayim" in Saba's teachings, in the Posuk of "Mizmor Shir L'Yom HaShabbos" the words Shir L'Yom have the same letters as Yerushalayim (when spelled with a 2nd Yud). As quoted "The last Shir of the Geula that will bring B'nei Yisrael to Eretz Yisrael and to Yerushalayim in anticipation of the 7th millenium, the big Shabbos is Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman and he is now in Yerushalayim."
Having this in mind, the 10th & last of the Pirkei Tehillim in Tikun HaKlali is the last Perek in Tehillim - Chapter 150, where it mentions the phrase "Haleluhu B'Teika Shofar". This is the only full Perek of Tehillim that we say in Shemoneh Esrei - particularly in the Shofaros section of the Mussaf of R.H., and as indicated earlier by correlating the 10 Shiros corresponding to the 10 letters in Na Nach Nachma Nachman, Shofar - in the 1oth & last of the 10 chapters of Tikun HaKlali that we say especially in the Rosh HaShana Mussaf, has the same Gematriya as Yerushalayim. And hence, MeUman B'Yerushalayim is bringing the first Shir as Uman (in Hebrew is begins with Alef) has the same first letter as Ashira, the first word sung in the first Shir - to the last Shir - where the 10th letter of the 10th Shir, as corresponding to the 10th Tikun Klali Perek which mentions the Shofar, corresponds to Yerushalayim!
In light of the above, may we merit that Rabbeinu be transfered from Uman to Yerushalayim in his rightful spot on Har Tziyon - Teikef U'Miyad Mamash!
P.S. So why is Rosh Hashana called the "Yom Tov of Rosh Hashana" when we all know that it is a Yom Tov? The key to this is that it relates to "when it falls out on Shabbos". Shabbos as we mentioned before is related to Yerushalayim when as rearranged in the words Shir L'Yom. The Geula, as associated with the "Big Shabbos" - the 7th millenium, and the Petek HaGeula contains the date of 17 Tamuz. Yom Tov is Day 17 being that Tov is the Gematriya of 17. As I mentioned in an earlier post - have to check the original source - in the future - 17 Tamuz will be the first day of Yom Tov, followed by Chol HaMoed until 9 Av which will be the last day of Yom Tov. As we know, Krias Yam Suf & Shiras HaYam happened on the last day of the Yom Tov of Pesach, the end of Pesach which relates to the future Geula. May we hear the Shofar heralding the arrival of the Geula - Teikef U'Miyad Mamash!
If it wouldn't be the lateness of the hour, I would more or less translate the section in this Torah about the Shir Chadash. But briefly, as mentioned in the Zohar, (I will be throwing in thoughts of my own too, just learn the original source to get the true meaning of Rabbeinu's Torah) this is Hashem's name like this Y, YK, YKV, YKVK which is in Gematriya 72, the same number as it equals Chesed - as in "Olam Chesed Yibane" - the world was built with KINDNESS.

And hence, MeUman B'Yerushalayim is bringing the first Shir as Uman (in Hebrew is begins with Alef) has the same first letter as Ashira, the first word sung in the first Shir - to the last Shir - where the 10th letter of the 10th Shir, as corresponding to the 10th Tikun Klali Perek which mentions the Shofar, corresponds to Yerushalayim!
In light of the above, may we merit that Rabbeinu be transfered from Uman to Yerushalayim in his rightful spot on Har Tziyon - Teikef U'Miyad Mamash!

Part 2 - The MONTH of LETTER נ
Boruch Hashem, I'm posting Thursday evening as I expected to (in Eretz Yisrael here the clock already stroke 12, but I think it's close enough). Well first of all, I ended last night's post about 17 Tamuz as per the phrase that is connected to this month of Cheshvan - "U'Dvash Hayom Hazeh Hashem" where Hazeh is in Gematriya 17, so it is"the day of 17". At least according to Rabbi Eliezer who holds that in the context of the story of the Mabul in this week's Parshas Noach, Chodesh HaSheni, the second month refers to Cheshvan, counting the months from Tishrei, it says in the Posuk of the date the Mabul started "In the 600(th) year(s) of Noach's life on the second month on the 17th day of the month, on this day (Bayom Hazeh -on day 17 - in Gematriya) all the fountains of the great deep burst and the windows of the heavens opened" (Bereishis 7:11). The Zohar says something absolutely phenomenal. It predicts a "flood" of wisdom in the 6th century of the 6th millenium, that is the period of 5500-5600. And indeed, both the Torah world of Chasidus & Litvishe styles of learning, and in the secular industry of science & inventions, an amazing flood of wisdom came into this world. So in effect, 17 Cheshvan which is associated with this is ultimately connected with 17 Tamuz the date in the Petek which in turn became a beacon of light bringing Yidden closer to Yiddishkeit introducing them to the wisdom of Breslov, included in the era of Chasidus that started in the century as predicted by the Zohar.
As in the Sefer Torah where there is a Hefsek - a space between one section and another, I'm going to stop this particular blog at this point, as I have a whole another vort pertaining to the letter "Noon", the letter of the month, as it relates to Shiras HaYam, the first of the 10 songs, and the last of which is the Shir Chadash.

Shulchan Aruch - Law
This is the 231 statute of the Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim:
That all his intentions should be for the sake of heaven:
If it impossible to learn without sleeping in the noon, he should sleep. Only he should not extend it, for it forbidden to sleep in the day more than the sleep of a horse which is 60 breaths (the K. Rebbe told me this is about 10 minutes). And even in this little amount his intention should not be to pleasure his body, but to strengthen his body for the service of Hashem Yisborach. And so in everything that he enjoys in this world, he should not intend for his pleasure, but for the service of the Creator Yisborach, as it says (Proverbs - Mishley 3:6) "In all your ways know Him", and our sages said: "all your actions should be for the sake of heaven", that even regular permissible things, such a eating, and drinking, and walking, and sitting, and rising, and intercourse, and speaking, and all necessities of the body, they should all be for the service of your creator, or for something that will lead to His service. That even if he is thirsty or starving, if he eats or drinks for his pleasure this is not commended, rather his intentions should be to eat and drink for the amount required to live, to serve his creator. And this is so even regarding sitting in the privy of the righteous, and the standing in the presence of the tzadikim, and the travel in the scheme of the wholesome, if he does so for his own pleasure to fulfill his desire and urges of pleasure, he is not commended' only if he does so for the sake of heaven. And so with resting, it is not necessary to talk about the time when he can be involved in the Tora and Mitzvos - he should not provoke with sleeping to pleasure himself, but even at times when he is exhausted and must sleep in order to rest from his efforts, if he does so for the pleasure of his body he is not commended, rather he should intend to give sleep to his eyes and rest to his body in order to be healthy, so that he should not confound his Tora intellect from lack of sleep. And so in the matter of .... And so in conversation, even to relate matters of wisdom his intentions must be for the service of the Creator or for something that will lead to His service. The Principle of the matter is, everyone is obligated to be concentrate his eyes and heart on his ways and to measure all his actions with the scales of his intellect, and when he sees something that can bring service to the Creator Yisborach he should do it, and if not he should not do it. And whoever practices this, he is serving the Creator always.

Big houses
Today in Chok Yisroel Rabbi Chaim Vital, the main chusid of the Arizal, criticises large houses, he says the people in them are on their way to a very narrow grave, so why do they want to accustom themselves to living in such spacious quarters?!
Rabbainu said we should accustom ourselves in this world to the ways of the next.
This is one of the reasons why it is so important to say, sing, and dance Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman!

Saba's Yartzheit (anniversary of death)
There has been some posting about Nanach being the Tikun - rectification - of the flood. So here's some more to let your brain chew on. According to R' Eliezer the flood started with rain of blessing (as Rashi says, Hashem made it so that the rain would be just of blessing, but since they were obstinate in sin the rain turned into the flood) on the 17th of Cheshvon, Rashi (in today's chok) points out that since it didn't start from the night (which is in most cases the beginning of the day) therefore the 17th is not considered in the 40 days of rain that the Tora talks of. This means that in many aspects the actual start of the rain is 18 Cheshvon - the Yartzheit of Saba!
Also previously Rashi (on the verse (in seven more days) says that the flood was postponed for the 7 days of mourning honoring the death of Misushelach - which could technicly place his death on the 9th of Cheshvon - the Yartzheit of R' Yisroel Karduner - Saba's mentor.

Neim Zemirot Yisroel
Just a thought...
There is a Tefilah for before reciting Tehilim and well, is great all the time as a Tefilah, Hisbodedut in our language style too...
Anyway, goes something like...
'vAta Kadosh, Yosheiv tehilot Yisroel, asher bacharta bshirot v'tishbachot she'amar lifanecha Dovid ben Yishai, Moshiach Elokei Yaakov u'Neim Zemirot Yisroel.'
Essentially; Hashem, please accept our prayers as if King David, sweet singer of Israel sang them.
A nice koach when it is said with Na Nach, because then we get connected in every way with the Tzaddikim, with Dovid Melech Yisroel Chai Vekayam, and also, its like, were able to give a nice hook up to Dovid HeMelech, even on our level, cuz it becomes like Dovid HaMelech said Na Nach!
Maybe theres others, but im pretty sure only Dovid has this special quality of being the sweet singer of Israel and having the quality that we ask for it to be as if he sang our prayers, so it only seems like, for sure, Zayde Dovid HaMelech would LOVE to sing Na Nach, for sure, kal vechomer or something like that, hes the sweet singer of Israel, he knew music so much and like every instrument and wrote Tehilim and set up the music for the Beis HaMikdash.
so, like I said, just a thought... now its in writing : )
Dovid Melech Yisroel Chai VeKayam Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman! : )
Tehilim Na Nach
Just getting the ball rolling here...
It is good to say just Na Nach Saba said... well Tehilim style thats 108...
Heres 108, its clear that Na Nach is all over this Tehilim... and this Tehilim, Dovid Melech Yisroel Chai VKayam clearly saw it all...
please respond and post your own chidushim and insights into this Tehilim specifically and its connections with NA NACH, and chazak vamatz saying Na Nach and Tehilim 108

Part 1 - The MONTH of LETTER נ
Chodesh Tov everyone!
According to Kabbala, every month corresponds to another one of the Alef Beis, and this lucky month corresponds to the letter "Noon". It is most significant to Breslov because both Rabbeinu's and his main Talmid Rabbi Nosson's names both begin and end with this letter, which is itself, as one of the few letters that the word for it begins with and ends with the letter "Noon". Saba's Yahrzeit falls out on this month, and also, Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan always falls out on the week of Parshas Na-N(0)ach. Now, in the very first Torah of Rabbeinu, the subject of Chen (grace) -as in "V'Noach Matza Chen B'Einai Hashem" (last Posuk of Parshas Bereishis) is composed of the letters "Cheis" & "Noon". Interestingly, the month of Tamuz corresponds to the letter Cheis, the month that Saba found the Petek - thus, both Tamuz & Cheshvan, corresponding to the letters of Chen, have something to do with Saba!
The letter "Noon" is significant in some other major way - it is the Gematriya of 50, as in the 50 days to the receiving of the Torah from Yetzias Mitzrayim. And the 50th Parsha of the Torah is Ki Tavo, and has a strong connection to this month of Chesvan. You see, every month corresponds to another combination of the letters of Hashem's name YKVK. Cheshvan corresponds to VKKY - the first letters of the words U'Dvash Hayom Hazeh YKVK. This is the Posuk given (though there are many) that is given by the Zohar for this letter combination, and on top of this, Hashem's name is also one of the words - something you don't find by many of the other Pesukim of other months. The first word U'Dvash is the very last word of the Krias HaTorah for Ki Tavo when read on Shabbos afternoon, Monday & Thursday. Also, this is the 8th month corresponding to Nissan, and we said before that Tamuz corresponds to the letter "Cheis" which is 8. Well, in the phrase here Hayom Hazeh "this day" Hazeh is the Gematriya of 17 - could be hinting to 17th of Tamuz, the date mentioned in the Petek.
Stay tuned for Part 2 - I expect to post on Thursday evening.

The 4th Aliyah in Parshas Na-N(o)ach
Writing my 724th post of the blogsite, and will show you shortly the significance of this number in two ways.
Those who know something about Rabbeinu will probably know that the number 4 was of special significance to him. For one thing, his name Nachman has the same Gematria as Netzach (148) which is the 4th (and middle) of the Sefiros counting from Chesed to Malchus as we mention during the Sefirah period. Also, unlike others who are honored with Aliyos to the Torah, particularly the 3rd one, 6th one, Acharon, Maftir, etc., he insisted particularly on the 4th Aliyah (I'll never be able to - I'm a Levi). Also, he was Niftar on the 4th (and middle) day of Succos. And then for those who believe in Saba Emes V'HaPetek Emes (as in a previous blog), know that Rabbeinu's name, besides have 4 letters to is, is 4-dimensional. Na Nach Nachma Nachman like the original source in the Zohar of Hashem's name being spelled the same way, the latter equaling the Gematriya of 72. Thus, in this 724th post, we are talking about Hashem's name in relationship to 72 (besides the 72 names of Hashem) in 4 dimensions!
Now first a word on Noach himself. In the beginning of this Parsha, Rashi comments on the "generations of Noach" who had three sons that the Ma'asim Tovim - good deeds are the children of the Tzadikim. I heard this once - question can be asked - why does Rashi comment on this particularly by Noach? Certainly, there were much greater Tzadikim who also had children later on. But there is one difference - Noach is the ancestor of all the world - so Rashi is saying a Chiddush here that even though Noach is the patriarch of everyone alive today;,ultimately is was his Ma'asim Tovim that was his accomplishment that counts eternally.
It is interesting to note that during Rabbeinu's lifetime, he also had three children, that is, his spiritual children, his three Seforim - Sefer HaMiddos, Likutei Moharan, and Sipurei Ma'asiyos. Maybe there is someone who can find a Remez of these Seforim to the particular names of Noach's three children. (As Rabbeinu's name Nachman is the Gematria of 148, it's interesting to note that the 148th Posuk of the Torah is the 2nd Posuk of Parshas Noach, which states that Noach had 3 children with their names mentioned. Noach's name in this Posuk is the 2nd word of the 2nd Posuk of the 2nd Parsha of the Torah)
Meanwhile, we mentioned that Rabbeinu was always honored with the 4th Aliyah. So, in this Parsha of Na-N(o)ach, I thought it would be a good idea to see what this 4th Aliyah is about.
This is about the post-Mabul year when Hashem tells Noach to get everyone out of the Ark, Noach brings Korbanos, and Hashem gives His instructions which are the basis of the Sheva Mitzvos B'nei Noach with His blessings. Anyways, the very last Posuk of this Aliyah is Hashem telling Noach and everyone to have children - the Posuk uses 4 terminologies for this- Peru, Revu, Shirtzu, Revu. The 2nd & 4th words - Revu - are the same corresponding to Nach/Noach & Nachman in the Shir Chadash. Also, Revu is the Gematriya as the number of letters in the Petek - 208 letters! (This is when Me'Uman is fully spelled with a Vov). Mind you, this Posuk is Hashem's message that was displaying His Chesed - kindness to mankind to continue life - Olam Chesed Yibaneh, and Chesed is the Gematria of 72, using 4 terminologies to describe His Chesed!
Stay tuned: What major Jewish events took place on the 4th day (Wednesday) of the week?
P.S. Noach meant to have a 4th child after the Mabul, but Cham (representing the heat of Aveira) prevented this from happening, and as a result incurred Noach's curse. Could it be that Rabbeinu, as his name presented with the 4-dimension Shir Chadash, made a Tikkun on this - as Rabbeinu's name can also be read as Min Noach- from Noach - to be the 4th child - the spiritual energy-that Noach was prevented from having?!

question
Mojo
When Hashem asked Chava why she ate from the tree, she said the snake tricked me into eating it. Was she not being modiah the resoim, why was she punished.
If Adam would have done tesuvah, he would not have left gan eden (I heard that once and it seems to be right; Cain did the first tesuvah by saying "is my sin to great to handle" and he lived for another seventy years.)
I guess Hashem gave the chance to Chava too, to save the world, but what was so wrong with her answer, she was blaming the rasha.

Saba Emes VihaPetek Emes
This morning in Shul this guy roles in about 9 oclock and asks to speak with me outside, he tells me that its alright to be Breslov, but the Petek, you see he has a 'mesora' from his grandfather Yoel Ashkenazi etc. etc. So I started to set him straight, and in the middle of the conversation some guy joins in and says that the Saba stayed in his house in Boro Park for a couple of weeks, and he heard the story from the Saba himself on many occasions, and coming from the Saba it certainly sounded real. He said that the Saba was like a Malach, and it was amazing to see him in action even at an age of around 100 years old.

Generation of the Flood
The Zohar says specifically what the main sin of the Dor Hamabul was (Z"L) . The main Tikkun for this sin is going to the Mikvah.
Hashem told them "If you will not do Teshuvah and go to the Mikvah yourselves, I will place you in the Mikvah."
Unfortunately that's exactly what happened, and what a hot Mikvah it was.

Mazal and Bracha
Mazal Tov to my sister Sara Avigail and my good friend Moshe Areyeh on their engagement. Both of them were zoche to be by Rabbeinu in Uman this year. Sara on Tu B'av and Moshe on Rosh Hashana. It occured to me at one point that their names are an identical gematria: 561. Rabbeinu knows how to put people together. Mazal and bracha. Na Nach!
Pashut
it can be read in the Petek that where it says be strong and courageous in your service Na Nach, that A: Rabbeinu is signing his name. B: He is speaking to you, as in, be strong and courageous in your service moishele, and from we can understand how Saba would say Ani Na Nach, cuz literally Rabbeinu speaks to whoever is reading the Petek and calls the reader Na Nach. C: the service itself is Na Nach, as in be strong and courageous in your service, selling stocks... lehavdel... in your service of Na Nach.
thats the triple wammy of pashut from that line in the Petek, take it or leave it, thats how it seems to this Na Nach, and as it says "never departs from the simple meaning."
secondly, to apply this to the last line about the sign being that they say you dont fast on 17 Tammuz. It is written in Zecharia that 17 Tammuz, 9 Av, Tzom Gedalia and 10 Tevet, are all gonna become "sasson vsimcha, moadim tovim, emet vshalom ehavu" just love peace and truth, and they become moadim tovim. This is again reffered to by Rambam in Mishne Torah Hilchos of fast days. The interesting thing is the Petek only refers to 17 Tammuz, however, thats fine, cuz its the first one mentioned in the pasuk in Zecharia, and therefore its like a domino effect, you get the 17 Tammuz, theyre all going cafe hafooch.
Even until it is clear how the days become chagim, we already can be happy now and celebrate having the Petek, and celebrate chag haPetek, and be bsimcha for 7 days in Tammuz and as we will be for 7 days in Av from 9-Tu Bav, and from Tzom Gedalih till Yom Kippur and some yet to be seen awesomeness in Tevet.
In Israel Saba, Saba is asked by a talmid if Mitzvah Gedolah Lehiot BSimcha applies to these days even as fasts before the full totall realization of the nevuah of Zecharia, and Saba answers in absolute clarity for all the read, YES we can def. be bsimcha on these days absolutely, it is a mitzvah always to be joyful.
Na Nach
****as per the Na NOach post and 17 Tammuz... heres the source of the pasuk about the fast days becoming yomim tovim in Zecharia, and i look forward to seeing the source about the 7 days of Yom Tov and the Chol HaMoed... will it maybe look like Chanukah for one of them? chazak vamatz!
Zecharia perek 8 pasuk 19
19 'Thus saith the LORD of hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful seasons; therefore love ye truth and peace.יט כֹּה-אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת, צוֹם הָרְבִיעִי וְצוֹם הַחֲמִישִׁי וְצוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי וְצוֹם הָעֲשִׂירִי יִהְיֶה לְבֵית-יְהוּדָה לְשָׂשׂוֹן וּלְשִׂמְחָה, וּלְמֹעֲדִים, טוֹבִים; וְהָאֱמֶת וְהַשָּׁלוֹם, אֱהָבוּ.
****following up on a comment about the reason for fasting relating to the Beis HaMikdash, would also like to make the pashut observation that malei vegadish mikav lekav also sounds like its speaking about the Beis HaMikdash, that it should be completely totally built, full and heaped up from end to end! may we be zoche to see and be together and dance and rejoice at the Bayis Shlishi bimhera biyameinu, Amen netzach sela vaed. This is also very profound as Saba mentions many times that Rabbeinu is Kodesh Kedoshim, and malei vegadish mikav lekav means to spread his books and teachings all over the entire world, so clearly, the key to building the Beis HaMikdash and the key to transforming the fast days into days of Sasson and Simcha and Moadim Tovim is through Hafatza, through being happy and singing and dancing. Yes we fast these days, and as Saba said, even as we await the Beis Hamikdash and Moshiach Tzidkeinu and Eliyahu Hanavi we can fulfill the mitzvah of lehiot bsimcha tamid on these fast days. It is absolutely clear that when the time comes, we will see that these days were transformed and the the Beis HaMikdash built through the merit and power of the Petek and Hafatza and Na Nach and Rabbeinu and Saba.
Merchandise
There is an incredible Gemara in Bava Basra in and around Daf 75 which discusses how not only will there be a Succah of the skin of the Livyatan, there will be so much that it will also cover the walls of Jerusalem and also be in the marketplace of Jerusalem, among the merchants, and how people will have canopies and necklaces and amulets...
Someone here posted that Livyatan is the Gematria of Na Nach plus the 5 words- 496
Also it is written about Moshe and the Tzaddikim clearly that they are connected with the Livayatan, and also it is written that Livyatan is a combo of the words Livyat which means garland and Nun- Livyat-Nun.
This is the Gemara about Hafatza and stickers and kemiahs. Ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out. ; )
The Gift
This is a post in progress, and comments and replies are invited.
The introductory paragraph to Likutei Moharan begins including the words "mimidbar mattanah." These words are from the Shir shel Beer Miriam. Which can be found in Parshas Chukas, Sefer Bamidbar, Perek 21 Pesukim 17-20.
These words according to Rashi were sung after a miraculous event where Hashem saved us from an ambush and not only was the ambush unknown the salvation was unknown too, until the well itself brought it to the peoples' attention.
"mimidbar mattanah, umimattanah nachaliel, uminachaliel bamot..."
Pirkei Avos comments that on a ruchniyut, soulful, level, from the midbar, the desert, mattanah, a gift, the gift being the Torah given to us in the desert, and from the gift nachaliel, the heritage of Hashem, being the heritage of the Torah, and from the heritage of Hashem bamot, the heights, the spiritual heights one attains from studying and fulfilling the Torah.
It has also been said by chazal that from the gift, the Torah, the nachaliel, the heritage of Hashme, being the Holy Land, and from the Holy Land, bamot, the heights, the heights of Jerusalem, Mt. Tzion Mt. of Olives, and namely the Temple Mount.
Also, interestingly enough, Mattanah, the gift, has the same gematria as Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman plus the 4 words of Na Nach Nachma Nachman. Total 495.
Also, Rebbe Nachman is the Nachal Novea Mekor Chochma, and one can read nachaliel, as river in addition to translating it as heritage. So we have, from mattanah, the gift, Na Nach, Nachaliel, or the river of Hashem, or even more precise, my river is Hashem.
This is the entire essence of Rebbe Nachman's teachings, that everyone should feel such a close and personal relationship with Hashem that Hashem is our river, our source of life, and also the true Tzaddikim who are his faithful servants, as Rebbe Nachman said he is the river.
Further, in Likutei Moharan Tinyana Torah 72, there is a line by line interpretation of the Shir shel Beer Miriam. This is amazing, since Na Nach is all about the 72 stringed harp. This is very profound. Please take a look there and if someone can translate that would be great.
In short, Torah 72 describes the Mattanah, the gift, as being Shabbat, relating it to Teshuva, and relating it to being attainable through humility and the Tzaddik, as it says mimidbar mattanah, from the desert, or humility, we come to Shabbat, Teshuva. The Redemption is entirely a matter of Shabbat, as in Yom shekulo Shabbat.
It is written that the Beer Miriam rests in the Kinneret and all the water in the world is connected to it. On a physical level this has great ramifications for the Redemption, as there are prophecies of a great river gushing forth from the Temple Mount in Yechezkel and also about the Euphrates river being split in 7 places an the children of Israel still exiled beyond it returning on dry land as in the days of the Exodus from Egypt.
On a spiritual level, this is also very profound, as we have this song, "Az Yashir Yisroel et hashira hazot, ali beer enu lah. beer chafaruhah sarim, karuhah nedivei haam, bimchokek uvemishanotam, umimidbar mattanah, umimattanah nachaliel, uminachaliel bamot. umibamot hagai asher bisdei Moav, rosh hapisgah vnieshkifah al pnei hayeshimon." Tanna Dvei Eliyahu describes how the Bnei Yisroel, children and adults would go to the well and sing the song and add "ali beer enu lah, bizchut Avraham Yitzchak V"Yaakov. Ali beer enu lah bzchut Moshe VAharon u Miriam."
Elsewhere in Likutei Moharan (BH will find exact source) Rebbe Nachman describes the verse of "karuhah nedivei haam" as being connected to the verse in Shir shel Devorah HaNevia "hamitnadvim barchu Hashem." So, we should all be saying Baruch Hashem all the time, and for sure Na Nach : )
The main theme here is song, song, song. The song of the Well, the song of the Prophetess, and the song of the Petek, the song of the Redemption, the GIFT!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!
NA-N(O)ACH WEEK!
Well, it looks like I'm writing the 713th post. Well, we know what that means - Teshuva is the Gematriya of 713 which I believe is the theme of this post.
Near the end of Parshas Bereishis which we just read on Shabbos, we read "His days shall be 120 years". In this context of the Chumash, it's refering to Noach's generation who were given 120 years to do Teshuva. Well, it didn't work too well then, just Noach and his immediate family survived, but as we know from the Vilna Gaon, everything that has every happened and every person with the details of his life are hinted in the Torah - particularly the Chumash.
First is the statement in the Gemara Chulin 139b: "Where is Moshe hinted in the Torah?" Now the question may be asked - "What do you mean where Moshe is hinted - his name is written all over - at least starting with Parshas Shemos since he was born?!" The answer - "B'Shagam Hu Basar". Looking at the English translation, there doesn't seem to be a clear translation for the word B'Shagam, but it does have the Gematria of Moshe's name (345), and the continuation of this Posuk "and his days shall be 120 years". Perhaps the bigger question can be asked - Is this where Moshe's 120 years are supposed to be hinted at - in relationship to evil people who didn't repent?!
The answer I believe begins with a few Pesukim earlier where Noach is named because "Zeh Yenachameinu" (the title of Rabbi Bezenson's Sefer on the Petek & Saba). Rabbi Bezenson Shlita gets into detail into where Noach failed, Rabbi Nachman, with two additional letters to his name made the Tikkun, but besides the fact that the name Nachman can be spelled within the word Yenachameinu, let's look at the Targum for this word - Yenachamenana - it has the same letters as Ani Nachman - the same exact words that can be spelled backword in Shemos 32:32 where it says "V'Im Ayin Mechani Na" what Moshe says in self-sacrifice to be erased from the Torah if Hashem doesn't forgive B'nei Yisrael for the Cheit Ha'Egel, the self-sacrifice that Noach did not have in saving his own generation. So Noach had the potential to make the Tikkun, but at least Moshe started the process (when he broke the Luchos on 17 Tammuz, the incident that ends the Chumash as Rashi (same letters as Shir in Hebrew) points out - "Yishar Kochacha Sheshibarta" taking responsibility (doesn't mean taking blame) for what happened).
Thus, 17 Tammuz is the bridge between Moshe Rabbeinu, Rabbeinu & Saba, and Saba is the last Moshe Rabbeinu (the holy leader of each generation is considered the Moshe Rabbeinu of the generation) until Bias Moshiach. Don't have the source for this offhand - but it says somewhere that in the future, 17 Tammuz will be the first day of Yom Tov, Tisha B'Av will be the last day of Yom Tov, and the days in between will be Chol HaMoed. But until then, we are coming very close too...120 years since the birth of...SABA!
Yes, before we know it , it will 120 years since the Moshe Rabbeinu of the last generation was born! His birthday - Yom Huledet - falls out on 20 Kislev 5649-5769, and what are we going to do about it - being passive like Noach, or ACTIVE like Moshe Rabbeinu, Rabbeinu & Saba?
Let's do a little brainstorming here:
Ani Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman - throughout Eretz Yisroel and elsewhere where the good NaNach Jews live - let's drive through the streets in the Keruv van with this recording of Saba on this holy day - to bring awareness to the world who Saba is and what he represents.
Booths with Keruv materials, Big screen video of Saba (this is how I got attracted to Breslov three years ago - when I saw the video of Saba on his Yahrzeit seeing his Neshama Tehora in his smile), telling people of Saba's birthday 120 years ago on this day, and show how he is compared to Moshe Rabbeinu.
Crying out to people to do Teshuva before Moshiach's coming - telling them that if they sincerely start now, including believing in the Tzadik HaEmes and learning his works that they will indeed be in Hashem's eternity forever!
Don't wait to start making plans at the last minute - start these plans TODAY!
In conclusion, those of us who have regular jobs can look forward to taking off from work on 20 Kislev- but don't wait for the last day to tell your boss. Also, you can begin with some of the above ideas today - especially about telling people to do Teshuva BEFORE Moshiach's coming (which could happen on Saba's birthday of 20 Kislev!)

Nanach street in Staten Island
Shabos in Staten Island, was hosted by a few families, the one that put me up live on Buchanan St., this is quite amazing because if you read the name of the street from right to left and readjust the other letters you get U B Nanach! - which is Jamaican for You Are Nanach!
Donation
Trino (C) has donated another $10 for the spread of nanach.
Others should follow this example as well.
The Importance of the Jewish women
The Sages called the women Akeret Habayit- the foundation of the house. The word Akeret in the language of "base" the basis of the house, the women. It is not good for the women to work in other places.
Rabbeinu guides us to know the truth, how the women is the basis of the house. And he speaks especially of the great mercy that should be had on the women. Rabbeinu warns and obligates us to honor the women, to have mercy on her and to help her in every way possible. To help her with everything. The Torah warns us to give honor to the women, but in the way of the Torah. And Rabbeinu commands us direly to honor the women, to have mercy on her, to help her, yes.
....
We need to have mercy on the women, Rabbeinu thinks about how much the women suffers in her life, from giving birth and raising the children, and she buys all that is needed and she cooks and .... everything, everything is on the women. She suffers very much in her life, a lot of it from us. From the children, what she suffers in her life...
The world does not speak about this at all, as if the women is a dog. Oy vey, Rabbeinu reveals the great mercy that we need to have on her, we need to honor her, yes.
Rabbeinu, he cried so much before G-d... (Israel Saba pg 269)

stop blaming women: geofrey mm
I would have made a comment on your post but I thought that everyone should know that they are influenced by the erev rav in understanding torah.
the world was originally created through the actions of elokim. After adam asked for a bat zug (originally he was a man and a woman in one body) the name of yod kay vov kay came about to create this action.
By creating chava as a zivug to adam (a seperate body), havaya became a zivug to elokim. shichos haran 95.
I think men should stop aski
