Overview: Tuesday, Parshas Yisro — Uman — 5603. To Rabbi Avraham Ber and Rabbi Abba. Today before the light of morning he arrived here in peace — after great effort and tremendous upheaval — because of the great ruination of the road. Blessed be Hashem Who brought him until here. And already today — in His chesed — he was at the holy tziyun — and recalled all of them there for good. May the Master of Mercy have compassion — and save him in all that they need — materially and spiritually. And behold — he found here a letter from his son Yitzchok — that praised be G-d — a letter arrived from Yass from their dear friend Rabbi Nachman — that he already began his good study — and it is progressing well. And he needs much money — and already his son sent him a second time all the money in his hand together with a small sum from Breslov. And now from yourselves you will understand to hurry immediately to send money for the work — as much as possible. And whoever adds — they will add to him from Heaven — wealth and honor and life and peace and all good — in this world and in the World to Come forever. He intends to remain here until Erev Rosh Chodesh Adar Aleph.

He already sent him a letter via the postal — immediately upon his arrival here on the past Tuesday. And just now there is nothing new to report under the sun. But above the sun — which is the holy Torah — there is always and always something new to make new — every single day. And even one who does not know and understand the new and awesome things made in the world every day and at every time — as written: He who makes newnesses — and in His goodness He renews every day always — such a person must believe in this — in the aspect of "chadashim la'b'karim — rabbah emunasecha" — as they have already spoken of this greatly. But they still need to speak of this — that also these words should not grow old with them.

And know my son anew — that they merited to be of the seed of Israel. And in His wondrous chesed — their souls escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler — from the concealment and the hiding of the point of truth — that illuminates now in all the worlds — and certainly in this world. And from the great darkness of deeds and the folly of the intellect — the light darkened and was very greatly hidden — so that many — not only do they not enjoy His great light — they also oppose and object to it greatly. And what shall we return to Hashem for all His favors to us — that we were saved from this. And he warns and urges his beloved son — as a father who desires his son — to remember this well — well — every single day — in all that passes over him — for it is not an empty thing from them — and it is impossible to explain what glimmers at every time regarding this. Blessed be Hashem Who helped them until here — in His mercies — to be called by his great name — so may He add His chesed — in this world and in the World to Come — to be included with him — and their souls will be included forever within the whole of the souls called by his name — of blessed memory.

And praised be G-d — this Shabbas — they spoke of this greatly — on the saying of our Sages: "Always let a person complete his portions together with the congregation." And to Hashem the hope — that they merit to this — not through their deeds — but through His wondrous chesed — beyond measure. And receive the letter to Rabbi Nachman that is attached here — and add to it as you wish. And because of the great urgency it is impossible to extend further. And fulfil what their dear friend Rabbi Ephraim — may his light shine — wrote to him — not to despair of the cry and the joy — always. And extend peace to all his household in Breslov — and there is no leisure to address each separately. And also his son Nachman — may he live — sends peace with love.

The words of your father — who intercedes for you.

Nussun of Breslov. Overview: Sunday, Parshas Mishpatim — Uman — 5603. To his beloved son. He already sent him a letter via the postal immediately upon his arrival on the past Tuesday. Just now there is nothing new under the sun. But above the sun — which is the holy Torah — there is always something new to make new — every single day. And even one who does not know the new and awesome things made in the world every day — must believe in this — in the aspect of "chadashim la'b'karim — rabbah emunasecha." But they still need to speak of this — that also these words should not grow old with them. And know my son anew — that they merited to be of the seed of Israel. And in His wondrous chesed — their souls escaped like a bird from the snare — from the concealment and the hiding of the point of truth — that illuminates now in all the worlds. From the great darkness of deeds and the folly of the intellect — the light darkened and was very greatly hidden — so that many not only don't enjoy His great light — they also oppose and object to it greatly. And what shall we return to Hashem for all His favors — that we were saved from this. He warns and urges his beloved son — as a father who desires his son — to remember this well every single day. Blessed be Hashem Who helped them — to be called by his great name — so may He add His chesed — and their souls will be included forever within the whole of the souls called by his name. And praised be G-d — this Shabbas they spoke greatly — on the saying of our Sages: "Always let a person complete his portions together with the congregation." And fulfil what their dear friend Rabbi Ephraim wrote — not to despair of the cry and the joy always. He received his letters — in particular the letter with the two sample leaves. How great are the chasadim of Hashem — "illu finu malei shirah" — just now there is no leisure to extend on this. And regarding you — he has already written much — and just now there is no word in his tongue to speak of this — for his sons — may they live — and the anshei sh'lomaynu are urgently needed to return to their homes. And in particular — because he hopes to Hashem that soon they will gather together and speak face to face — whatever Hashem will place in his mouth.
