Overview: Monday, Parshas K'doshim — the 18th day of the counting — Breslov — 5604. To Yitzchok and in particular his beloved grandson Rabbi Dovid Tzvi. Today before the morning prayer he received his letter from Rabbi Nachman. At first he gladdened him — that he merited to be at the holy tziyun and to pour out his soul there. May He Who hears prayer hear his prayer and his sighing. But afterwards his cry was very great. We are obligated to believe that "the Lord is righteous in all His ways." He guarantees him that also you are included in the mercy. Certainly Hashem will not abandon you — for we have a very great elder-father — the elder of elders. Know and believe — that all that passes over you has already passed over many great and upright tzaddikim. Also now more and more than this passes over many — there are many aspects — tzaddikim and wicked — great and small — and middling. The essential bitterness is over those in the aspect of middling — such as we and such as you. How many have sunk — because they had no one to truly strengthen them. This is all the strengthening of the dispute — against those who hold to his name — for they are still hoping and toiling to come out from the flood of great waters. Sabuni ka'mayim kol ha'yom — lulei Hashem she'hayah lanu b'inyan zeh k'var avadnu b'anyeinu. The multitude of fear and alarm and melancholy strengthens the confusions — as written in chapter 72 and in Likutay Tinyyana chapters 49 through 54 — one need not turn his face to them — only not to look at them at all. If even so they seem to stand around you — be strong and bold — say words of Torah or prayer — and do not look backward at all. The essential — do not fear — for Hashem is with you — one must pass over a narrow bridge — the essential is not to be afraid. The essential that rises above all is the great power of our Master — that you merited not to be an opponent — and even to be at his holy tziyun in the days of Rosh Hashana. Would that your sons be counted with the holy gathering. You have with what to spend the day — three prayers — Shulchan Aruch — Tanach — and in particular the books of our Master. Hafoch bahem v'hafoch bahem v'siv u'v'lei bahem. Also engage in commerce — good is Torah with the way of the world. Remove from yourself sorrow and sighing — snatch the sorrow specifically into the joy — all the more I am worse in my own eyes — the more I must rejoice — that even so I am not an opponent — and I am called by his name — and in the category of his holy gathering. Un fort hop — and in any case only joy.

Yesterday he arrived here in peace. And be strong and bold my son — and gladden your soul in all that is possible — and do not fear and do not be afraid — for Hashem is with us — for m'lo chol ha'aretz k'vodo — the whole earth is full of His glory. And this was said also about you explicitly — and about all of us. And even though all know this — even so — one must repeat this many times every day. And the essential — through the power of the tzaddik who revealed this. For only he — in his great compassion — introduced into us — that even I and you can give life to ourselves with this — in the attainment of the student — which is the aspect of "n'veilasi y'kumun — ha'keitzu v'rannenu — shoch'nei afar" — the like of which was never heard. G'dolim ma'asei Hashem — that He did and that He is doing with us in this generation. Sama d'milsa mishtoka — for a fence to wisdom is silence — as written there. And every single word burns like coals of fire. And it is a wondrous and awesome — very very wondrous and awesome — innovation — to give life to the lowly in spirit and to give life to the crushed of heart. And in truth — it did not enter his mind just now to write to him anything of this — but it was from Hashem — Who arranged for him a remembrance of these holy and very awesome matters. And they give life to him very greatly just now. Mah rabbu ma'asecha Hashem. And since he already said these words before us — and they were written in a book by him — and you merit to hear them in writing and orally many times — certainly there is hope and hope for our future — for me and for you and for all of us.

The words of your father — who awaits salvation.

Nussun of Breslov. Overview: Wednesday, Parshas Emor — Uman — 5604. To his beloved son. Yesterday he arrived here in peace. Be strong and bold my son — and gladden your soul in all that is possible — do not fear and do not be afraid — for Hashem is with us — for m'lo chol ha'aretz k'vodo. And this was said also about you explicitly and about all of us. Even though all know this — even so — one must repeat this many times every day. And the essential — through the power of the tzaddik who revealed this. For only he — in his great compassion — introduced into us — that even I and you can give life to ourselves with this — in the attainment of the student — which is the aspect of "n'veilasi y'kumun — ha'keitzu v'rannenu — shoch'nei afar" — the like of which was never heard. G'dolim ma'asei Hashem — sama d'milsa mishtoka — for a fence to wisdom is silence — and every single word burns like coals of fire. It is a very wondrous and awesome innovation — to give life to the lowly in spirit and to the crushed of heart. It did not enter his mind just now to write to him anything of this — but it was from Hashem — Who arranged for him a remembrance of these holy and very awesome matters. And they give life to him very greatly just now. Since he already said these words before us — and they were written in a book by him — and you merit to hear them in writing and orally many times — certainly there is hope for our future — for me and for you and for all of us. Know — my brothers and companions — that he arrived here in Uman last week on Tuesday — and immediately began to engage in the repair of our Beis Midrash. And first they were compelled to strive to receive permission from the officials here. And after much effort — Hashem Yisborach helped — that today the Gradnitse himself — together with two other officials — came to our Beis Midrash — and gave permission to build the roof. Only that they still need to receive a permit for this. And with Hashem's help — tomorrow they will receive a good permit — and we must give thanks to Hashem for this. And now they need to begin the construction of the roof.
