קלטת 12א

Segment 1

...[Saba and the friends sing: "In you, Rabbainu, we will rejoice..." ] This is Rav—Rebbe Avraham ben Rebbe Nachman—he took this niggun {and sang it}, "In you, Rabbainu, we will rejoice..." Throughout the whole world they now sing "In you, Rabbainu, we will rejoice..." They know that this is Breslov… ...What I heard from Rebbe Yisroel was: Mashiach was in this world {and not} and they did not know, because the world was mocking and... and opposing: "Breslov, Breslov." If there had not been—had there not been the dispute—I would not have known what Breslov is, yes. This—now I was Breslov—the dispute, the opponents… ..."Na Nach"—Rabbainu himself revealed it; no student. Rabbainu himself revealed this. Do you know who I am? I am "Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman"… ...One sees that the whole world is accepting this niggun; throughout the whole world they play it at weddings. Did you tell me? No, no, Menachem—Menachem told me. [Yes.] That his wife went to a wedding, and there they were—they were singing this niggun; they were playing this niggun, "Na Nach," at the wedding. Nu, women. The whole world {is happy}. They have not yet heard such a niggun… ...The whole world knows: for seventy, eighty years Uman was closed; it was impossible to get there. If someone succeeded in reaching Uman, then all the... already all the journalists— all the newspapers, all, all, all the world would speak about it: "Ho, someone succeeded in reaching Uman!" And now the communists are no more, no more; they are all in the grave. And the holy Rabbainu has conquered the whole world, yes. He revealed "Na Nach." Who made the whole world? "Na Nach." No tzaddik had—did not reveal this; did not, did not, did not know of this—what "Na Nach" is. We sing "Na Nach"…

Segment 2

...Nu, {this is a river} new—a new niggun in the world, "Na Nach." All the children of Yisroel, all, all the Land of Yisroel say, ask: "What is 'Na Nach'?" They do not know what it is. So now, blessed be Hashem, we know that the holy Rabbainu revealed it— that he, that he is this "Na Nach"… ...There is already Likutay Moharan, the Sipuray Ma'asiyos, the Likutay Halachos. Now the time of redemption has arrived; Rabbainu has begun to awaken a little. Has anyone heard of such a thing, a "Petek"? Did a Petek {descend} from heaven? A Petek? We have not heard of this. Interesting, {….} a Petek, such a Petek—we have not heard. Who in the world has such a Petek? "Concerning you I said." Already all the... the wise ones, the secular, the secular, and the whole world do not, do not know what this "Na Nach" is; and little by little they will know, because they will ask: "What is this? I, I want to know what this is." They will study it. And when they know and draw close to Rabbainu, a new world will be made! This is a new miracle. The whole world asks: "What is 'Na Nach'...?" The scholars, the Chassidim—it {is hard for them}: "What, what, what is this? What is 'Na Nach'?" Yerushalayim, Meah Shearim, and the whole world will ask: "What—we want to know what 'Na Nach' is! You have a niggun, such a niggun, such a wondrous niggun—what is it?"… ...They come and tell us: "We heard such a niggun, 'Na Nach'..." Then all of France and all of England became filled with "Na Nach"… ...Italy, all the countries, China—they will ask: "What is 'Na Nach'...?" They have no question at all, only about "Na Nach": "What is it, what is 'Na Nach'...?" "N..."… ...a niggun that is, it is, that is capable of healing all diseases.

Segment 3

This niggun—do you know what this niggun is? "Na Nach." They will all wonder: What is this? They see with their own eyes such a disease for which there is no cure. It is cancer, such a cancer that is... yes. And the holy Rabbainu says: "Go." Then it begins to go! And the world says: "What is this? Who? Who—what, what, what happened? Where did it go?" I also ask about my evil inclination: "Where did it go? Did it die? It is gone—where is my evil inclination? I was born, {I do not know why I came}. This world is the evil inclination—and where is my evil inclination? It disappeared, disappeared completely." We—the more we know of Rabbainu, so the evil inclination goes and draws farther away and disappears. [Yes.] He puts it to death, with all its soldiers, yes. [..] It is a wonder. And they will ask: "What is he telling the world? That there is 'Na Nach' here? There is already 'Na Nach,' so they—we are afraid of the whole world, of the whole world and all the non-Jews, and we are not, not, not, not afraid of them, yes. I merited to see with my eyes and in my heart what, what I merited to see and to hear—such wonders; such prayer, such service of Hashem, emunah, such emunah, such truth. One does not see—from the day of the world's creation there was no such thing; only now it is beginning to be revealed... 'Na Nach.' Tell Tzion to make a little, make a little tomato puree {and give me some to eat}… ...He would sing this niggun. [Saba and the friends sing: "Fortunate are we, how good is our portion..." ] He received a stone, from among the stones. [Yes.] Then he— [Saba continues singing: "Fortunate are we, how good is our portion..." ] There were such big stones. [Saba continues singing: "And how pleasant is our lot..." ] {He stands on this side.} [Saba continues singing:,

Segment 4

"Fortunate are we, how good is our portion, and how pleasant is our lot..." ] He traveled with his son Rebbe Yitzchak to perform a chuppah. Then the opponents gathered with the whole city and went against Rebbe Nassan and the bridegroom, to receive them with stones. There was great danger; Rebbe Nassan and Rebbe Yitzchak the bridegroom were in great danger. They threw stones. We—now we sing this. I saw what this is. I saw rabbis, famous ones. And I saw one, one person: Rebbe Yisroel, Rebbe Yisroel Kardonner. I saw what, what... what the world is, and what Breslov is. It is a wonder. Blessed be Hashem that I am alive and I see that the holy Rabbainu has conquered all, everyone, the whole world. Torah—one word of his conquers the whole world. {All the Torah}, everything, everything. [Saba and the friends sing: "Fortunate are we, how good is our portion, and how pleasant is our lot..." ] The stones made a niggun, a beautiful niggun. Rebbe Nassan made it—this niggun—in the forest. [Yes.] Yes. They threw stones, so he sang, "Fortunate are we, how good is our portion..." Nu, go, go. [Yes.] If only we merit to hear some good tidings. [Yes, amen, all the best to you.] Oy, the whole illness was worthwhile; the whole illness was worthwhile, to hear what we heard today from Rabbainu. {Such good was made}: "What is 'Na Nach'?" [Good, goodbye, all the best.] Ho... ho, good, ho, ho, ho. [Fortunate are we, and good is our portion.] […..]… ...We will sing and dance. ["In you, Rabbainu..." ] And we will make every, every kind of joy. This is enough—from one word of Rabbainu. This is such a power; this is new, this is Mashiach. Mashiach, Mashiach is new. And the holy Rabbainu has already brought Mashiach; Shlomo Efraim is already Mashiach. [Ben David, Ben Yosef.] Ah? [Ben David, Ben Yosef.]

Segment 5

Nu, yes, yes—Ben David, David and Yosef; Mashiach ben David and Mashiach ben Yosef. The holy Rabbainu—when Efraim, Shlomo Efraim, was born— he, the holy Rabbainu, knows; he knows which year and which month and which day Mashiach will come. And now he will not come on this day. He passed away, so now they will not, will not reveal it. But he will come: "Concerning you I said." What is this? It is such a wonder: "Concerning you I said." In all of Rabbainu's letters, "And concerning you I said" was not written, yes. This, this, this is such a wonder: "And concerning you I said." Nu, we will wait. "And concerning you I said"—we must wait. Never yet in the world has there been such a letter: "And concerning you I said." It is awesome, a very awesome wonder. Ah... And beyond this, the holy Rabbainu is in the world, so Hashem Yisborach gave us the Land of Yisroel as well. If the holy Rabbainu is already here, there will also be... yes, also the Land of Yisroel, and also the Beis HaMikdash, and also everything. He gave us—all the non-Jews, the whole world—gave us. They are the U.N.; that includes the whole world. It gave us the Land of Yisroel and the Beis Ha... everything— the Land of Yisroel and the Beis HaMikdash, yes. What wonders like these we see. The Western Wall—is there another Western Wall in the world? The Beis HaMikdash—is there another Beis HaMikdash in the world? {. .} The Land of Yisroel, the Land of Yisroel—is there another Land of Yisroel in the world? There is not! And there will be beautiful things, such wonders, such wonders. I saw that the holy Zohar said: miracles, miracles and wonders that will be done with Mashiach, at the coming of Mashiach, in this redemption— there were not even in Egypt such miracles. This will surpass all the miracles, even the Exodus from Egypt. We do not know what happened; we were slaves in Egypt. Nu, how is it possible to take Yisroel out of Egypt's hand?

Segment 6

Egypt was the most powerful government in the world. There was no one who could take us out, only Hashem Yisborach Himself, in His glory and by Himself. And the miracles and wonders that were, that were in Egypt— and now there will be miracles and wonders greater, greater than Egypt. The miracles and wonders have already begun. The holy Rabbainu is already in the world; the Land of Yisroel is already ours. Nu, it will come {{…}} slowly, slowly; everything will come. Ah. Who imagined, even in thought, how the Land of Yisroel would be ours? Yes, the non-Jews, the Arabs—millions, millions in the world—and us, how many are we? We stand against the whole world. [….] We shall see—the whole world will come to wage war with us. We will say to them: "We are not afraid of you; we have a weapon from heaven." The non-Jews feel this. They saw such an earthquake, and such blows, yes. But they are non-Jews; they do not want, do not want, do not believe. But they will fall; all falsehood will fall, and all the non-Jews—nothing, nothing. What? Are we afraid of the whole world, of all the non-Jews? Suddenly an earthquake will come and they will see: this is a great blow. "And who knows what will be tomorrow? Where will there be an earthquake?" They are afraid. Such an earthquake as there was, as there was—there had never been one. There was—several people died. But an earthquake from heaven—a hundred thousand died. [..] Seventy thousand, a hundred thousand died. Nu, when one sees such a thing— we are not afraid; the non-Jews are afraid, because the blows will come upon them. There will be miracles and wonders; Mashiach will come—ho, what will happen! All the non-Jews will come: "We want to become Jews." Converts are not accepted; in the days of Mashiach converts are not accepted. "Where were you until now?"

Segment 7

[A dance is done.] [Saba and the friends sing: "In you, Rabbainu, we will rejoice; in you, Rabbainu, we will be glad..." "Oh, that I had a wing like a dove; I would fly to holy Tzion, to Uman..." "Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman..." "Fortunate are we that we merited to draw close to Rabbainu—Uman, Rosh Hashanah..." "Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman..." Afterward they sing: "Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman..." to a different tune.] (Saba laughs.) […………………………..………...] [Saba and the friends continue singing: "Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman..." ]…
