The Sacred Letters of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov and Reb Nussun of Breslov, of blessed memory

LETTER THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-ONE

With the help of Hashem Yisborach · Wednesday, Parshas Re'eh — Tshehrin · Year 5601 (1841)

ToPeace — to my beloved son — my dear one — may he live.

In the past week he sent him his letter with the sum of one hundred and sixty-five silver rubles — and presumably it reached his hand. And now he is prepared to travel today to the congregation of Krumintchag. And there is nothing new to say — and also he has no leisure at all. And the days of Elul are approaching — and he is preoccupied with his traveling — and the time of prayer has arrived — and it is impossible to extend at all. And extend his peace to all his household in Breslov — and the peace of all our anshei sh'lomaynu in Breslov — and the peace of all our anshei sh'lomaynu in your congregation and in all their surroundings — to all his brothers and friends he speaks peace and great salvation. And may the Master of Mercy have mercy and purify their hearts to serve Him in truth — and strengthen their thought to seize it in holiness — not to allow it to wander outward — G-d forbid. And the true holiness of Elul and Tishrei should illuminate upon them — that they merit at any rate from now to draw close to Him Yisborach in truth — each one from the place where he is. For this is the entire secret intention of Elul — that they merit to go in the path that Moshe Rabbeinu trod — and the true tzaddikim after him — in these forty holy days — from Rosh Chodesh Elul until Yom Kippur — as is explained in his holy words.

The words of your father — who loves you in truth forever.

Nussun of Breslov.

Overview: Wednesday, Parshas Re'eh — Tshehrin — 5601. To his beloved son. In the past week he sent him his letter with the sum of 165 silver rubles — and presumably it reached his hand. And now he is prepared to travel today to Krumintchag — and there is nothing new to say — and also he has no leisure at all. And the days of Elul are approaching — and he is preoccupied with his traveling — and the time of prayer has arrived — and impossible to extend at all. Extend his peace to all his household in Breslov — and the peace of all the anshei sh'lomaynu. And may the Master of Mercy have mercy and purify their hearts to serve Him in truth — and strengthen their thought to seize it in holiness — not to allow it to wander outward — G-d forbid. And the true holiness of Elul and Tishrei should illuminate upon them — that they merit at any rate from now to draw close to Him Yisborach in truth — each one from the place where he is. For this is the entire secret intention of Elul — that they merit to go in the path that Moshe Rabbeinu trod — and the true tzaddikim after him — in these forty holy days — from Rosh Chodesh Elul until Yom Kippur — as is explained in his holy words.
