Siman 116 סימן 116 Source: https://ajew.org/reader/chayey-moharan/1/116 Segment 1 HE: כְּפַר אוֹסְיַאטִין, שֶׁשָּׁם יָגַע רַבֵּנוּ זִכְרוֹנוֹ לִבְרָכָה בַּעֲבוֹדָתוֹ הַגְּדוֹלָה בְּבֵית חוֹתְנוֹ, שֶׁהָיָה דָּר שָׁם, EN: (13.) In the year 5563 [1802/3] he arranged the wedding of his righteous daughter Mrs. Sara in the holy congregation of Medvedivkeh, with his son-in-law the rabbinic Rabbi Yitzchok Aizik, son of the wealthy Rabbi Leibu Dobrovner — for they both gathered there. Even though he was already in Breslov at that time, the wedding was on Rosh Chodesh Nisan which fell that year on Thursday — and the chupah was in the evening, the eve of the Sixth Day, the eve of the holy Sabbath. After the chupah there was talk about Messiah etc. (and Rabbainu z"l revealed and hinted that it is fitting that [Messiah] emerge from them etc.). Afterwards on the holy Sabbath he said at the Third Meal a very lofty Torah beginning with "For the sun" in Likutay vol. 1, Torah 49 — and there Nisan and Sara and Yitzchok and bride and wedding are alluded to etc. And he said that this Torah he did not say for our sake but because of the decree called "punktin" that was then heard — that they intended to make a decree against Israel, G-d forbid, which in our many sins was fulfilled in our days. For there it speaks of the subjugation of the nations: "for I will make a complete end of all the nations" — which is the aspect of kallah [bride] — she who consumes all and destroys all — "but you who cleave etc." — and understand there well, for they are very deep and lofty words. And after he finished saying the Torah he danced very much with his daughter the bride etc. And one who has not seen his dancing has never seen goodness in his days. For though blessed be G-d we merited to see several tzaddikim who danced before the bride, nothing like his dancing was ever seen. And everyone who stood there certainly had a true thought of repentance for all his sins. And the great arousal and enthusiasm of all the people who stood there at the time of the dancing — it is impossible to explain or depict this in writing in any way. He had already revealed several very lofty Torahs on the matter of dancing and clapping. And also in the Torah "For the sun" mentioned above, the matter of dancing is explained — but it was not common for him to dance except at very rare times. But in that aforementioned year he danced several times — namely on Simchas Torah, and afterwards on Shabbat Chanuka after the saying of the Torah beginning "I Saw a Golden Menorah" in Likutay vol. 1, Torah 8, and afterwards on Purim in Medvedivkeh, and afterwards at the aforementioned wedding. And he said of himself in that year: "I danced much — and this was because in that year the decrees called 'punktin' were heard, that they wanted to make a decree against Israel, G-d forbid — and because of this he danced several times, for through dancing judgments are sweetened and decrees annulled, as is explained in the Torah V'eileh HaMishpatim, Torah 10 in Likutay vol. 1, which was also said that winter in Tiraovitze."
