Segment 1
...[Saba and the friends sing:
“Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman..”]
[This usual niggun that they sing for “Na Nach”]
Eh?
[Where is this niggun from? This niggun?]
This niggun?
[{….}, the normal niggun that they sing for “Na Nach”]
It is from Rosh HaShanah
[No, this is the normal one (the friend hums the niggun)]
Yes, yes, this is from Rosh HaShanah
[Saba hums the niggun..]…
...“Hashem is King, Hashem was King, Hashem will reign forever and ever..”
“Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman...”
Do you know where this is?
[Rosh HaShanah, yo, yo]…
...Rebbe Yisroel used to pray the prayer of the night of Rosh HaShanah
And the words of the prayer:
“And every work will know that You made it, {..} and.. and every formed being will understand that You formed it
And all that has breath in its nostrils will say: Hashem, God of Yisroel, is King, and His kingship rules over all..”
I heard how for several hours he wept before the Holy One Blessed Be He:
“And every work will know that You made it..”
This is Rabbainu’s Rosh HaShanah, for he rectifies us; we {do not …}, despair of ourselves
He, and he, he renews us, he revives us, strengthens us
I took, I took the niggun of “Adirei Ayumah” for “Na..,” for “Na Nach”
[Saba sings:
“The mighty ones of the Awesome One will say aloud.. Hashem is King, Hashem was King, Hashem will reign forever and ever”]
So, so I took this niggun for “Na Nach”
[But there is a change at the end...]
Ay.. I—when the chazan stood before the amud and argued with the Holy One Blessed Be He like this, with both hands
Yes, and he speaks with the Holy One Blessed Be He like this
Who saw such a thing? He was entirely hisbodedus, entirely emunah and truth and humility and..
There is no, there is no—not enough; everything I say is not enough
Segment 2
{….}, and the Holy One Blessed Be He had mercy on us and gave us the true tzaddik
Our holy Rabbainu, and he makes of us—only on Rosh HaShanah, what he makes of us
The whole year they commit transgressions and pursue desires, and.. he cleanses and purifies everything
[……...]
“I am a river that purifies from all stains”
Oy, the whole world, every person is full of stains
So he, he comes to Rabbainu before Rosh HaShanah; he tells him all the troubles
So he, he already does—on Rosh HaShanah he already does—he says
He, he passes on the night of Rosh HaShanah with all his people, the first in judgment
He is such a good advocate, and he makes us new, new human beings, a new world
All the days of my life, then everyone, whoever saw me in the market:
“Ho, he is Breslov, Breslov, Breslov, Breslov”
My father-in-law—he and his wife—struck my wife so that she would take a get
She, and she said: “No, no get”…
...He said to them: “I brought you a gift from the Land of Yisroel
What is the gift? Dispute!
You are not considered among my people. A time will come when the whole world will dispute against me
And then whoever holds himself by me, he will be f.. from my people, but you will not”…
...They, they, they (not understood), and they do not, not, not, not say anything, yes
This, this is in initial letters, the entire order of the redeemer’s coming, yes
And in Sefer HaMidos it is also written: “Mashiach will come in a year of blessing,” yes
So perhaps this year is a year of blessing; there is, there is so much ice, yes, yes
[…….]
Ah…
...They are capable; they bring a person such salvations and such wisdom and understanding, that.. yes
That there has never yet been such a thing in the world…
...The holy Rabbainu
[]
There came to him like this {a conversation}; the holy Baal Shem came to him and said to him:
Segment 3
“What is he? Why does he distress him? When his avodah rises, then the avo.. then he is ashamed
That no, not, that he is alive, he is ashamed”
The holy Baal Shem came to Rabbainu, to the grandson, to his son:
“What are you—why do you distress us? When your avodah rises to Heaven
Then we are ashamed; we have no face whatsoever”
And one also sees his Torah teachings, the Likutey Moharan
And the Sippurey Ma’asiyos—is there anything else like this in the world?
Where are you? Are there such Torah teachings? I heard from geonim, from great men, yes
I heard that they said—in the yeshiva they said:
“Torah teachings like Rabbainu’s—there are none!
Stories like Rabbainu’s—there are none!
Conversations like Rabbainu’s? There are none!
Torah..”
Nu, and the holy Rabbainu said:
“Mashiach will give a commentary on, on the Likutey Moharan”
{He}.. no tzaddik said such a thing
There was the Rav of Berdichev, a holy gaon; he did not say that Mashiach would come and give a commentary on, on his book—only the holy Rabbainu, yes
There is no one who can give a commentary, only Mashiach
{. . .}, I do not know why only the French—the French were the first
The first soldiers, {..} who came to Uman
Ah, and they come from the whole world; they come from America, from England, f.. from Italy
From all the countries they come to the Land of Yisroel
Yes
And the holy Rabbainu, when he was in the Land of Yisroel and.. yes, he first disembarked at Haifa, then he said:
“The Land of Yisroel—all of Yisroel must come to live in the Land of Yisroel!”
But there was not, there was nothing to eat here, no {...}, no.. no houses, no, so..
So this is being fulfilled now; all of Yisroel are coming to me, to the Land of Yisroel
[I need to go pray Mincha now, before sunset]
Good, good, go
[Did you pray Mincha?]
Segment 4
[…...]
And sing “Na Nach” before Mincha
[……….]
To make known…
...[Saba sings:
“So that all who hope in You will not be ashamed, and all who take refuge in You will never be humiliated..”]
[“Will never be humiliated”—“netzach” is the Rebbe, “netzach”]
Yo
[Netzach is Rabbainu’s sefirah]
Yo, certainly
[Yes]
[…...]...
...One took my finger; he went with a hat, he covered it
But he, he showed me that he had had a miracle
They threw a stone at him, and the stone entered his brain {..}.. deep, deep, deep, yes
And he took the finger and showed me, “Look at the hole,” yes
And he, he received
[And he is alive]
There was, there was a miracle—how he still remained alive; the stone entered, it stands {….}
[…...]
Yes
There was one rich man, one rich man who was an opponent
So, so they gave money to the police so that Rebbe Nasan would not live in Breslov
Outside, yes; no, not in Breslov
But Rebbe Nasan had students, students in Breslov; he sometimes came secretly. So they came to the rich man and told him:
“Do you know? Rebbe Nasan was in Breslov last night”
So the rich man said:
“Do not worry; as long as I am alive, he will not be in Breslov”
So he died
And at the judge’s, he died there, yes
[……...]
This is what he said:
“Do not, do not be afraid; as long as I am alive, he will not be in Breslov”
So he fell and passed away; he died
[…………………] …[..….……………]
...{…}, more and more, and more people from all over the world will come to Rabbainu
This is what he said
He {came}, he said that everyone should be very careful to come to me every Rosh HaShanah, to Uma.., to Uman
Yes
[To be careful]
Even if there will be a get, everyone will come to Uman for Rosh HaShanah
[…...]…
...[Saba]
{…}
[Storm winds, storm winds, and such blows they receive, ho..]
Segment 5
[What happened—were houses destroyed?]
[Houses were destroyed—what do you mean houses? Houses of rich people]
[When was it? A week ago]
[No, not long ago, in the last month; there are still many blows...]
[……]
[Throughout the world …., throughout the world]
Ah
[In Syria, in Jordan, in Egypt]
Nu, nu..
[They are all receiving blows from the rain]
Yes?
[Lightning and thunder..]
From the rain?
[From the lightning and thunder]
Ah.. ah..
[They receive such fear, and such storm winds—the storm winds destroy everything for them] Alexandria, Alexandria
[Alexandria, yes]
Entered Alexandria today
[Yes, yes, yes, even, even in Iraq they are receiving blows]
Eh?
[Even in Iraq]
In Iraq
[The Americans want to strike again at..]
Eh?
[The Americans want to strike Iraq again]
Iraq
[Yes, they want to give them blows, they want]
[To bomb]
And Jews—no, they do not speak about Jews
[Shamir, Shamir conducts himself wisely]
Yes
[Wisely.., the entire country feels that he conducts himself wisely]
Yes?
[Yes, he is something special; he does not speak much, he does not speak much
They think he does not understand, he is not this.. and when he begins to speak, they know he has intelligence]
Yes
[They see, they feel that he has intelligence; he has changed completely, Saba]
[He has intelligence; he has no heart]
{...}
[He has changed completely, Shamir.., they wrote about him in the press that he wants to do teshuvah]
Eh?
[They write that he wants to do teshuvah..]
Yes
[The president too, too..]
[….Shamir?]
[Yes, yes]
[But they are bringing five hundred Yemenite Jews from Yemen by plane]
[They want to abduct them like the Ethiopians; they do not want to make aliyah]
Segment 6
[…...]
{So their fear} is that if they {w..}.., travel to.. to Uma.., to Uman
[To Uman, certainly]
All of Yisroel will travel and there will be the redemption
[Yes, finished]
{..}
[Without income tax, without the..]
[Saba, Uman is such a place that has never yet existed in the world
Such a sweet place; every fool feels that it is a special place]
Yes
[Every, every fool..]
{..}
[Every, every person w.., even without intelligence, receives intelligence there]
“Uman, Uman, Uman”
[They receive intelligence there; such a beautiful place, such a sweet place, so special—you do not see it anywhere in the world
They want to build now; the Americans want to build there, everyone wants to build there
Everyone, even the non-Jews, the Russians too
They say it will be such a place that people will come from the whole world]
“Uman”
[Uman]
[There is enough room for everyone]
Ay.., where? Where is all the Communism?
[They fell, they fled, fled, fled; they related that there were Communists who stole a lot of money]
Stole
[Yes]
So, ah..
[They should catch them]
Ah
[They should catch them, and it will come to us]
They released them
[No, they did not release them; they caught them]
They caught them
[Yes, they knew that they had stolen; now they are looking for them, to catch them and take it from them
They will take everything from them; nothing will remain for them]
But this, this is nothing; they will receive
[Nothing remains of them already]
Suddenly
[Suddenly all the Communists fell]
A strong wind
[Yes]
[The whole world asks, “Where are the Communists? Where are the Communists?”]
Yo
[Nothing remains.., nothing remains]
[Not one of them remains]
{….}
[They all fled]
Where? In the grave
[Whoever tries—every Communist who tries to rise a little, to speak, to err]
Segment 7
{..}
[He suffers a heart attack and dies]
Eh?
[He suffers a heart attack and he dies]
Yes?
[Yes, it is verified, it is verified]
[Verified.., verified and tested]
[Many Communists committed suicide]
Eh?
[Very many Communists committed suicide]
Yes
[They themselves want to die, they themselves want to die, the Communists]
Yes
[By themselves]
{..}
[Saba, the Petek from day to day, the Petek from day to day]
The Petek
[It rises and rises, and rises; it does not stop, it goes everywhere by itself]
“Concerning you I said”
[“Mein fayerl,” they receive it with great love in every home, in every home]
Yes
[In every home with great love]
Yes
[They say that the “Na Nach” reveals all the liars, all the thieves]
{..}
[It reveals everything by itself, everything, by itself]
{..}
[The children, the children feel it]
Yes?
[The children feel it very strongly, in “Na Nach”]
The children?
[Yes]
[I walk in the street and they say to me, “Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman,” suddenly, suddenly]
“Na Nach”
[Yes, I did not think; they used to laugh at me, they used to laugh at me so much
And suddenly three together, three people—they used to mock it
And suddenly, “Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman,” all three together, such a chorus; I was startled]
{..}
[I think the entire country knows about it; even, even Shaul told Rabin to tell the soldiers]
Who?
[Shaul, Shaul]
Shaul?
[The American; he told Rabin to tell the soldiers to say “Na Nach”—do you remember?]
Yes.., yes?
[Yes]
And the doctors?
[All the doctors too; they tell women in labor to say “Na Nach”]
Yes
Segment 8
[This is already, this is already verified and tested; the women in labor say “Na Nach” and they give birth easily]
Ah.. Daniel, Daniel {Zafran}
[…]
He had a girl, a girl, and she was sick; she developed here
[A swelling]
A swelling
[….]
[The doctors despaired?]
Yes, so {…..}, the father and the mother came, and the doctors—what do they say?
They say that it is growing, and growing, and growing, and it is impossible to operate, and they do not know what to do
I told them that he and his wife should say “On your New Moons,” and she would have a healing
And so it was; he began to say “On your New Moons,” he and his wife
And the girl eats and sleeps, and..
[And everything is all right]
Yes
[….]
[This is Rabbainu, this is the Likutey Moharan from Rabbainu Nachman]
Yes, certainly
[This is a remedy for small children]
Good for children
[Yes]
The father and the mother should say it
[Should say]
“On your New Moons”
[Saba, what Rabbainu says in Sefer HaMidos—such words
That one sees them with one’s own eyes, alive and enduring; such truth, he is alive and enduring
At every moment, every second, in every situation, in every place
One does not see such a thing by.., by any tzaddik]
No
[In this generation no tzaddik can help; in this generation, in this darkness, no tzaddik can help] Only Rabbainu
[Only the books of.., Rabbainu and Rabbainu’s books]
And Rabbainu’s books
[Only the books of..]
“Rabbainu’s writings”
[In this generation only, only Rabbainu’s books]
[And the “writings”]
[One truly feels it tangibly]
So among the poor L.. L.. Litvaks
[Yes]
“What will be with the Gemara?”
[Likutey Halachos is all Gemara, is it not?]
Yes
[If one recites Likutey Halachos..]
It illuminates the Gemara for us and all..
[Everything, everything]
And all the Torah
Segment 9
[Certainly]
[They are afraid that the Likutey Halachos will drive all the Litvaks mad]
I know here, last Shabbos {I said to him} with the niggun “Na Nach”
[“Na Nach”]
Yes, and everyone left the prayer, {Kiddush}, and stood—what is this?
[They were astonished, “What is ‘Na Nach’?..”]
[There was never such a niggun, Saba; the “Na Nach”—every moment it is new
It renews; the “Na Nach” renews, it renews the person, renews the person..]…
...Ask them, “Did you know, did you know Aharon Luria?”
He was like, like, like their admor
Yes, they came to him every time in Tiberias
[Some friend of mine who studied with me in Herzliya—he told me, do you remember him?]
[Yes]
Aharon Luria had, had a great name, great renown, very famous
[Aharon Luria]
Yes, he..
And I entered his place, and some Chassidim were with him. I said to him, “Aharon, Aharon..”
I was not, and I did not bow; I did not call him “Rebbe, Rebbe Nachman, Rebbe Aharon”
I told him: “Aharon, whatever will be, what will become of you? What? In the end you will be Breslov”
They already knew that he, that he loved Breslov
I told him: “Aharon, when, when?”
[………...]
{He was} a man of good character traits, and he loved Breslov like his own soul
He loved Bres.., he, he envied me
When I met him: “Aharon, nu, nu, nu, what? When?”
Then he began to cry: “What will become of me? Why will I not be.., am I not a warrior?”
Yes
“I want to be a warrior like you”
[I also want to be a warrior, Rebbe Yisroel]
[……….]
[I am also envious of you]
No, not only money; they would persecute him, drive him away
Segment 10
That was how honored he was, he..
[There were students]
Yes
[What will be with the honor, and with the….]
[…...]
The holy Rabbainu said to his people
“I have already taken the honor from you”
From honor he will not have {unclear: “maskantayf”}
[An upright man will have no money]
Wha..
[Money..]
They will say some praise, some praise of me or of Breslov
They will say, “What {….} is this? This one is Breslov, but he is Breslov, and how will he have honor?”
And they all also were jealous of me, of him, all of them
They saw his courage, mine; they did not understand from where one takes, takes such courage [From where?]
[From where, from where?
{..}
[Hisbodedus?]
So they were afraid to touch a book, a Breslov book, “Not to say Breslov”
[He was warm, was he warm?]
[…………….]
[Everything is hisbodedus]
The Simple Man praised the shoe; he {left} it
He said: “How sweet, how beautiful the shoe is”
The shoe had three tips. In all my life I never heard of a shoe with three tips
Only the shoe of, of the Simple Man; the Simple Man’s shoe had three tips
I did not know there was a shoe {with three tips}
[…………..]
Yes
[Only Rabbainu can ………]
[…………]
[Only Rabbainu can, can think of such a Simple Man]
I never heard of a shoe with three tips. Even in America there is no, no such shoe
[“Such sugar”]
And the Simple Man says, “How beautiful this shoe is, how sweet, how much honey and sugar”
[……...]
So I (not understood)
[…]
I have never heard that there is a shoe with three tips
[……….]
[What does it look like? What does the shoe look like?]
He.. the Wise Man learned goldsmithing, medicine, diamonds, but not, not shoemaking
[A shoemaker]
And the Simple Man did not, did not receive—only, only sandal, shoemaker, yes
Segment 11
And also the shoemaker could not do it either; he was a Simple Man
{She asks him}, his livelihood was very meager, and for his shoe he received one gold coin
{For selling such a thing}
[A taler]
So he said, when he finished the shoe it had three tips
He took the shoe and said:
“How sweet this is, how beautiful this shoe is,” {yes}
[What does a shoe with three tips look like?]
But I have not heard, I have not heard of such a thing, that there is a shoe with three tips
Only in the story of the Simple Man; the Simple Man’s shoe had three tips
[……..]
Ah…
