[Whose song is this?] This is in the month of Elul, it is the end, the end of summer [Whose song is this?] Passed, and this alludes to us [Whose?] "The harvest has passed, summer has ended", {the desires of} the days of our lives in vanity

"The harvest has passed, summer has ended, and we have not been saved", and we.. [Immersed] Have not been saved [Whose song is this?] Ah? Our people’s Ach.., this is the song that s.. after 'Tikkun Chatzos' Then they wanted to comfort ourselves [….] Yes "For Hashem has comforted Zion, He has comforted all her ruins.."

Then in the merit of the mitzvah, in the merit of the tzaddik, he will protect so that you will have sons [But Rebbe Yisroel, on Rosh Hashanah in Breslov The rabbi said at the end of the year, wait, with Hashem’s help he will soon merit it] Nu, sing before Hashem, blessed be He, "The harvest has passed, summer has ended, and we have not been saved", until when?

[I will make a deal] Yes [You will promise him that it will be all right, and he will make films about Rabbainu throughout the world] Nu, Hashem, blessed be He—in the merit of this mitzvah, this, this, this will certainly protect, yes

And Rabbainu HaKadosh also says in the "Sefer HaMiddos": "'Faith' has the numerical value of 'sons'; faith is sons [Yes] This, there will be sons, if, if there is faith in Hashem To fear Hashem, to fulfill the Torah, to take repentance upon ourselves, and we will merit salvation So 'faith' has the numerical value of 'sons' This, from this, this will become sons, from this will become sons" Rabbainu HaKadosh said: "That the "Sippurei Maasiyos" is a segulah for a barren woman, that she should not.. A barren woman who reads these tales, then there will be, this is a segulah for sons", yes So.. [When there are sons, with Hashem's help, there will be more faith] So Rabbainu HaKadosh said: "I, I said the opposite of the world, the world says […] Th.. in Yiddish: From saying, from saying.. [From saying] Yes, to say [From saying] To say, yes, "From saying she will not become pregnant" [….] The world says: "From saying she will not become pregnant" But from saying the tales she will become pregnant [What is 'tregn'?] The world says: “From saying she will not become pregnant" [What is 'tregn'?] 'Tregn' is pregnant, that there should be conception […] Yes […] Yes [From saying..] A pregnant woman [There will be conception] Ah? [From saying there will be conception] Yes And I said that through telling the tales there will be, there will be, there will become sons" [Yes, there was such a case..] And I saw with my own eyes one woman, a neighbor, and her husband is an opponent of Breslov He is a Karlin Chassid, he was my friend, I too was Karlin And he had, he did not have a son; for six years after the wedding they had no children So they were very worried So, it was in the month of Elul, and I was in Meron throughout the whole month of Elul, always She came; in the month of Elul everyone comes with requests to Rebbe Shimon, to pray

So she came to me and said to me: "My son has no children; it has already been six years I ask you to pray th..{..} that you do whatever you can" So I said to her: "Rabbainu HaKadosh said that through the "Sippurei Maasiyos" one merits barren women being remembered, being remembered.. {being remembered\crying}.. So I said to her: "That she should buy the "Sippurei Maasiyos," and both of them should read it", yes So she did this, and she told me that it was difficult for her This is already a story from forty years ago It was, it was difficult to obtain the "Sippurei Maasiyos" Not like today, when one goes to a store and buys it; then it could not be obtained So she, she, she asked, asked, until she found the "Sippurei Maasiyos” And that year they were remembered with a son; she came in the month of Elul [After a year] After a year, yes, she came to me in Meron and said to me: "That my son {….}, thank you very much" Nu, we, we, Hashem blessed be He wants us to return in repentance, this is the main thing Faith, 'faith' has the numerical value of 'sons' Nu, we say th.. "What? We do not believe? We have faith" No, faith is "And they believed in Hashem and in Moshe His servant" Through Moshe His servant we merit to believe in Hashem and in the Torah and all.. yes And 'faith ' has the numerical value of 'sons' , and the main thing of faith is faith in the Sages, yes "And they believed in Hashem and in Moshe His servant" And in Moshe His servant? Then let them believe in Hashem! Oy, may Hashem have mercy, I want with all my heart and soul That every one of Yisroel should have.. should merit all the salvations he needs Nu, and we are obligated to pray for the world, Rabbainu, Rabbainu HaKadosh says: [Ah, ah,] "One who does not pray for the world, he has a punishment", yes It will not be, one cannot say:

"What? I did not pray, what, why do I deserve a punishment?" No, yes, there is a great punishment; one must pray for his fellow and for the entire world That Rabbainu's knowledge should be revealed in the world, then there will be all the salvations, whatever each one needs "And they believed in Hashem {{...}}", faith.. faith in the Sages [………..] […….….] [The "Sippurei Maasiyos"—in which language to tell them, to say them aloud? {..} [To read] Certainly, with arousal, with faith, in truth It is a segulah, it is a segulah for sons, this is what Rabbainu HaKadosh said [Alright, also in.. in a language? Which language? In the woman's language too?] In the language.., can you speak Yiddish? [No] {..} [No] Then in the Holy Tongue [In the Holy Tongue] The Holy Tongue is exactly like Yiddish, like..

"Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman.."] [Rebbe Yisroel, Yoram said that he wants to have a contest with you] A contest? [Yes, who sings for a longer time without stopping] It is a pity I did not say to.. that I did not invite the woman to come to Sharon [Yo, nu, she has time; Yoram has the strength to play until morning] [If Hashem gives; I have no strength] [Hashem will give you strength] [They sing and Dagan continues playing: "Who will give me a wing like a dove; I will fly to the holy tziyun, to Uman.." "Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman.."] {{24:08}} [Blessed is Hashem] {….} [Blessed are You, Hashem our God, King of the universe, through Whose word everything came to be] [Saba..] [[Amen]] Amen [Did you see Aharon, that he plays this, Aharon] [I do not know how to play a drum] [Aharon, when he does this, he plays and he goes: “Bula, bula, bula, bula, bula, bula..”] (Saba laughs) [Saba?] Yo [Can man, can people bring the redemption closer Is it not only in the hands of the Holy One, blessed be He, alone?] It..

The Master of the World, He has satisfaction from our prayer, from the faith, from our prayer And Rabbainu HaKadosh said: "That the essence of my matter is prayer"

"The main thing for me is Rosh HaShanah, and the main thing..” On Rosh HaShanah one engages only in prayer all day, yes "The main thing for me is prayer" Oy.. and "The main thing for me is Rosh HaShanah" What is Rosh HaShanah? To come to me for Rosh HaShanah, for a tikkun And this matter continues even now, not only in.. [..] In Rabbainu's lifetime, when he said: "The main thing for me.." This matter, it continues; it does not cease This matter of Rabbainu is something new that never ceases, yes [….] He—and every utterance of his, and every matter of his—is above nature And he is eternal and he is always, in every generation and generation That is what he said, that he is the true leader of all Israel in every generation and generation In every generation, it does not cease; he, he is our leader, yes […...] In every Torah, in every conversation, in every story [So one can think that also in Nissan, which is the first of the months] Yes [So that it has a definition like Rosh HaShanah?] Yes, yes [He says this in "Likutay Halachos"] [Yes?] [Yes] [……] Oy..

And after I merited to know Rebbe Yisroel, I saw th.. I saw that he stands entirely outside; he does not know what Torah is, what faith is [Ah, ah] I saw such wonders from Rebbe Yisroel that there are none, that cannot be estimated What is this? (do not understand) Like Rebbe Yisroel Everyone can be Rebbe Yisroel, and more, and more, according to the heart The holy Rabbainu said: "Give me your hearts, and I will lead you on a new path" [Which is old] This, what is a new path?
