And I wanted to go out of the city, and I was going out and leaving the city — but in the midst of going out I turned back and came into the city again. And I looked and saw that I had turned back and come into the city. And I wanted to hide among the Moscow people [Palk Maskviter — Muscovites], but I thought to myself: if the whole world were to come and demand from them that they hand me over, they would certainly hand me over to them. Segment 5 HE: סימן פ (80) — פְּרִי Full story: woman in Medvedivkeh, unripe plums, occasioned LM I:257 and LM II:88 EN: And there was found one who consented to be the sacrifice in my place.

Segment 9 HE: סימן צג (93) — שֵׁשׁ בָּתֵּי כְנֶסִיּוֹת Six synagogues he knew and forgot — names specified inline EN: And they were conversing together, until they entered into words that come from the heart. And the master of the house began to yearn and long greatly — how does one attain and reach some spiritual matter of holiness? The guest said to him: I will teach you. And the master of the house was astonished and began to think: perhaps he is not a human being at all. But he reconsidered and saw that he was speaking with him in the way of human beings. Segment 10 HE: סימן קא (101) — אַחַר הִסְתַּלְּקוּתוֹ Full story of Rabbi Hirsh of Medvedivkeh — only son dying, "I will be your Kaddish", oath b'nekitas chefetz, came immediately after sealing of grave EN: However, immediately the faith was strengthened within him to believe in him. And he immediately began to call him "rabbi," and said to him: Before anything, I request to learn from you how to conduct myself toward you with honor — and it is needless to say that I would not actually besmirch your honor, G-d forbid — but even still, a person finds it difficult to be wholly careful as is proper. Therefore I want you to teach me how to conduct myself toward your honor. And he answered him: At this time I have no leisure — at another time I will come to you and teach you this. And at this time I need to leave from here. Segment 11 HE: סימן קיג (113) — רַבִּי יוֹסֵף the Gaon Rabbi Avraham Dov of Chmelnik EN: Correction: Adil married Rabbi Yoske the SON OF the Gaon, not the Gaon himself.

And he replied that it is impossible to bring — for I know for certain that it is forbidden to reveal who needs the book, and it is impossible to find a book — and there are great sufferings for me constantly and moving from place to place, and I have no book of any sort to complete the learning. Segment 22 HE: סימן רסג (263) — שָׂרָה וּמִרְיָם EN: ...And he commanded that they bring him and he danced with them greatly. Segment 23 HE: סימן רסה (265) — אוֹרִי <אוֹרִי [my light]> EN: ...How does one take money for revealing <אוֹרִי [my light]> — that in the revealed it is easier to innovate than in the hidden. Segment 24 HE: סימן ערב (272) — אֲנָא הוּא TWO PARAGRAPHS: (Said the transcriber: From the aforementioned discourse our teacher Moharana"t z"l said to Admoo"r z"l — after he said the discourse cited in Likutay Moharan Tinyana §28... from the immensity of his feeling... they burned within him like an actual flame... "Perhaps this is indeed the explanation" etc.) EN: [Said the transcriber: I heard that the Rabbi Rabbi Nissan Kauler told — one of the great close followers of the holy tzaddik Rabbi Baruch etc. z"l — before the Maggid of Tiraovitze etc. z"l: that once he came to the holy Rabbi Baruch z"l and saw him very distressed. And he asked him what it was. And he replied that for some time he had not been able to see the Baal Shem Tov z"l, and every time he came to his grave he could not find him. And he found him and said to him: I found him at Rabbi Nachman's — and he said in these words: "Er hot zich paar kligen tzu R' Nachman" — "He chose to be close to Rabbi Nachman."] Segment 25 HE: סימן רפא (281) — מֶלֶךְ וְכֶבֶשׂ EN: ...And this precious stone was one of charm [chen]. Segment 26 HE: סימן רפה (285) — הָרַב שָׁלוֹם EN: (8.) On a weekday — I saw in a dream — and there was a wedding, and there were many brides there. And one bride among them was more distinguished than all of them, and she appeared to the world as more distinguished than they. And there were kapelyes [musical ensembles] there — that is, musical instruments that were playing. Segment 27 HE: סימן רפז (287) — מֶלֶךְ יִכְבַּשׁ EN: And I saw that a doorway opened and people entered to a yeshivah [Torah academy], and a great multitude was assembling into the yeshivah. And when I saw that they were multiplying and coming more and more, I calculated how I would be able to enter among such a great multitude. Segment 28 HE: סימן רפט (289) — אַף אֶחָד EN: And I hastened myself there and was standing on top of them. And there was a rosh yeshivah [head of the academy] there who was learning with them, and there was a very, very great honor of Torah there. And the brides were dancing. And the principal one was the distinguished bride mentioned above, who was dancing there. And whatever melody the ensemble played, she would sing that very melody afterwards herself. And there was a very great honor of Torah there, and I marveled greatly at the great honor of Torah that was there. Segment 29 HE: סימן רצ (290) — אָמַר לִי לֵיפָא · כְּשֶׁבָּא אֶחָד · בַּעַל אַכְסַנְיָא · מֵעֵין הַדַּעַת FOUR HASHMATOS: [baal aksentya passage] (וְעַיֵּן הוֹסָפוֹת סִי' יט) EN: And I spoke with the people I recognized there: Have you seen such honor of Torah? And it appeared that they were occupied with the straightforward study of the revealed Torah, for apparently there were rabbinical scholars there — and the books too indicated this, for the books were very large, in the manner of the aforementioned type of study. Segment 30 HE: סימן רצג (293) — יִשְׂרָאֵל EN: (9.) His holy conversation of Rabbainu o.b.m. on the night after the Sabbath of the Torah portion Toldos [Genesis 25:19–28:9], 5570 [1809], here in Breslov: Segment 31 HE: סימן שב (302) — הַחִלּוּק בֵּינוֹ וּבֵינֵיהֶם EN: The entire order of times of the year — that is, Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Sukkos, Hoshana Rabba, Shemini Atzeret, Chanuka, Purim, and before [these] the fifteenth of [Shevat], Pesach, Shavuos etc. — in each and every one of these times, I am not as I was before. And he said in these words: "Az se kumt di tzeit bin ich nit dos vos frieyer" ["When the time comes, I am not what I was before."] Segment 32 HE: סימן שט (309) — לְאַחַר פְּטִירָתוֹ EN: (What was understood from his words was that in each of these times he arrives at a completely new attainment and knowledge, and does not serve Hashem Yisburach in these times with the service he had already served in those times in the years that had passed — rather, in each and every year he arrives at a completely new attainment, and he has new service in these times.) In last year's Chanuka I was lighting the candles and [performing] the other Chanuka customs with the kavanos [intentions] of the Torah that was said then. And so on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur etc. — his service in them was according to the kavanos of the Torah said on that Rosh Hashana — only it was more refined [that is, his service was more refined than what was stated in the aforementioned Torah]. Segment 33 HE: סימן שיב (312) — הַגָּדוֹל שֶׁבַּמְפֻרְסָמִים EN: (10.) On Purim, wonders became known to me. Rabbainu o.b.m. answered and said: The Torah [is called] the Name of the Holy One Blessed He — hidden and revealed. At first the Torah reveals its face to the man, and afterwards it hides itself. And one who has a true soul pursues and circles after it and sacrifices himself for it, and he has great longing and intense yearning with self-sacrifice, until he merits for the Torah to be revealed to him. Segment 34 HE: סימן שיד (314) — לוּלְקֶע א + ב TWO HASHMATOS: א: ב: EN: For at first the matter of Purim was revealed to me in smallness and hiddenness [that is, the matter was not revealed to him in complete revelation, only in allusion and mere sparkling], and afterwards Hashem Yisburach helped me — for He Blessed He always helps me — and the matter was revealed to me. And the matter of Purim that was then revealed was concealed and hidden from all the worlds — only in the upper worlds that are very, very far away is this known. Segment 35 HE: סימן שכד (324) — אַנְסֶה אֶת עַצְמִי EN: For my service on that aforementioned Purim was to rectify the blemish of Korach. And when this was revealed to me, it seemed very strange to me — what connection does Purim have with Korach? — until Hashem Yisburach helped me etc. For there are matters very concealed in the holy Torah, and it was revealed to me that the letters of Purim [pei-vav-resh-yud-mem] are the initial letters of [Leviticus 13:41]: "v'im mip'at panav yimaret rosho — kareach hu" — "and if from the front of his face his head is shaved bald — he is bald (kareach)" — the aspect of Korach (kareach). [And the rest he did not explain.] Segment 36 HE: סימן של (330) — כִּמְדֻמֶּה ר' שִׁמְעוֹן TWO HASHMATOS: [it seems this was Rabbi Shimon his servant] EN: Art 330 also completed from truncation — full story of R' Shimon requesting great awe. Segment 37 HE: סימן שלב (332) — נְהַר הַמִּטַּהֵר EN: (11.) Kislev 5570 [1809], here in Breslov. In a dream I was sitting in my house [that is, in the small house where he was residing], and no one at all was entering to me — and it was a wonder to my eyes. And I went out to the second room, and there too no one was there. And I went out to the large house and to the beis midrash [house of study], and there too there was no one. And I resolved in my mind to go outside. Segment 38 HE: סימן שלד (334) — מָרָה שְׁחוֹרָה EN: ...this man's mind became somewhat confused . And he will bring him to merit. Segment 39 HE: סימן שמ (340) — אֲנִי אָשִׁיר שִׁיר See Torah "Tiku Tochecha" [LM Tinyana 8] and the Tale of the Seven Beggars. EN: And I called one of my men and asked him: What is this? And he answered: How could you have done such a thing — is it conceivable that you would commit such a great sin? And I did not know at all what they were mocking me for. And I asked the aforementioned man to go and gather some of our men — and he went from me and I did not see him again. Segment 40 HE: סימן שמב (342) — מִכָּל מָקוֹם שֶׁאֲנִי רוֹצֶה EN: ...But Segment 41 HE: סימן שמו (346) — אִתְחַלְתָּא דִּגְאֻלָּה [I heard from the mouth of our holy Rabbainu who said and praised himself a little: "If I were to begin to speak wisdoms — all the listeners would depart from their souls from the hearing... I am able to extract from his words great wisdoms. Therefore I am unable to speak."] EN: While we were sitting there, an old man came and called me — and said that he had something to speak with me about. And I walked with him and he began to speak with me. He answered and said: You have done such a thing — how are you not ashamed before your forefathers? And he began to rebuke me regarding this. And I answered him: If I am ashamed before my forefathers, all the more so before my Master, Hashem Yisburach. And this answer came from my heart. Segment 42 HE: סימן שמט (349) — לִקְנוֹת הַסֵּפֶר EN: And I entered to a city and went to the rabbi of the city. And the rabbi was a very old man. And I asked him what this was about. And he showed me in a book. And I looked in the book and saw that it was indeed written there that this was a sin. And I said: But I did not know! And he answered: Nonetheless, it is a sin. And I thought to myself: Is it conceivable that I should fall because of this? Segment 43 HE: סימן שסג (363) — מְקוֹם שֶׁלֹּא קִבֵּל EN: And there I encountered several men, and among them was one who was very brazen, and who began to slap me. And I was greatly pained by this. And I began to weep bitterly, and said: Master of the Universe! And suddenly it seemed to me as if I received new power, and I answered back and pushed away those who were causing me trouble. Segment 44 HE: סימן שסב (362) — כְּלָלִיּוּת <הַתּוֹרוֹת שֶׁנִּכְתְּבוּ בִּלְשׁוֹנוֹ הַקָּדוֹשָׁה בְּעַצְמוֹ אָסוּר שֶׁיְּכוֹלִים לְדַקְדֵּק בָּהֶם כְּמוֹ בַּמִּקְרָא... גַּם אָמַר שֶׁהַתּוֹרוֹת שֶׁנִּכְתְּבוּ בִּלְשׁוֹנוֹ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בְּעַצְמוֹ מְסֻגָּל כִּי הוּא כְּלָלִיּוּת> EN: ...and they are all the secret of the intention of Tefillin. And in particular . And the essence is the moral instruction... Segment 45 HE: סימן שסה (365) — הַסּוֹמֵךְ <כְּמוֹ שֶׁסּוֹמְכִין עַל אֵיזֶה דָּבָר, שֶׁבְּוַדַּאי הַסּוֹמֵךְ גָּדוֹל יוֹתֵר מִן הַנִּסְמָךְ> EN: ...their holy words are also included within it, like one who leans on something — : Segment 46 HE: סימן שעב (372) — לְפַרְצוּף <לְפַרְצוּף כָּל הָעוֹלָמוֹת> EN: Very end of article: ...the human form alludes to what it alludes : Segment 47 HE: סימן שפא (381) — זְקֵנִי ר' נַחְמָן <שַׁיָּךְ לְהַסִּפּוּר הַמּוּבָא בְּשִׂיחוֹת הָרַ"ן, אוֹת ריא... אִם הָיָה זְקֵנִי ר' נַחְמָן שׁוֹמֵעַ תּוֹרָתִי, הָיָה אֶצְלוֹ גַּם-כֵּן חִדּוּשׁ. וְאַחַר-כָּךְ סִיֵּם אִם הָיָה הַבַּעַל-שֵׁם-טוֹב שׁוֹמֵעַ תּוֹרָתִי הָיָה אֶצְלוֹ גַּם-כֵּן חִדּוּשׁ, אִם הָיָה רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בַּר יוֹחַאי שׁוֹמֵעַ תּוֹרָתִי הָיָה גַּם-כֵּן חִדּוּשׁ גַּם אָז> EN: Entire sub-section 43 is the hashmata — if my grandfather Rabbi Nachman / BST / Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai were to hear my Torah — it would also be a novelty for them even then. Segment 48 HE: סימן שפד (384) — סוּס <הָיִיתִי סְבוּר שֶׁתָּבִיא לִי סוּס בְּעַד הַתּוֹרָה שֶׁלִּי. וְסִפֵּר מִזֶּה בְּלֵיל שַׁבָּת, שֶׁחָפֵץ בְּסוּס מִבְחָר עִם זִינְטִיל (אֻכָּף) טוֹב וּמִבְחָר, אַף-עַל-פִּי שֶׁכָּתוּב "שֶׁקֶר הַסוּס לִתְשׁוּעָה", אַף-עַל-פִּי-כֵן "מוּכָן לְמִלְחָמָה, וְלַה' הַתְּשׁוּעָה"> EN: Goes before "Not to mention a word" in sub-section 46: Segment 49 HE: סימן שצא (391) — בֵּאוּר הַלִּקּוּטִים <הוֹסָפָה מִסֵּפֶר 'בֵּאוּר הַלִּקּוּטִים', מִמּוֹרֵנוּ הָרַב אַבְרָהָם בֶּן רַבִּי נַחְמָן זצ"ל (סוֹף סִימָן רפ"ב): "כַּיּוֹם, כַּאֲשֶׁר הַסֵּפֶר שֶׁלִּי כְּבָר יָדוּעַ וְנָפוֹץ בָּעוֹלָם, מְחֻיָּבִים לִלְמֹד אַךְ וְרַק בַּסֵּפֶר שֶׁלִּי!"> EN: Last paragraph of art 391 — addition from Be'ur HaLikutim by our teacher Rabbi Avraham ben Rabbi Nachman z"l: today, when my book is already known and spread in the world, one is obligated to learn exclusively in my book! Segment 50 HE: סימן שצב (392) — דֶּרֶךְ חָדָשׁ <שֶׁעֲדַיִן לֹא הָלַךְ בּוֹ אָדָם מֵעוֹלָם, וְגַם הַבַּעַל-שֵׁם-טוֹב לֹא, וְשׁוּם בְּרִיָּה לֹא מִזְּמַן קַבָּלַת הַתּוֹרָה> EN: ...I am walking on a completely new path Segment 51 HE: סימן שצט (399) — גְּרַאם / שִׁוִּיתִי TWO HASHMATOS: <מִתְנַהֵג עַל פִּי זֶה> — inline: "for the entire world " <אָמַר הַמַּעְתִּיק: "שִׁוִּיתִי ה' לְנֶגְדִי תָמִיד" בְּחִינַת מִתְנַגֵּד — אֲבָל לְמִתְנַגְדִי שֶׁלִּי אֵין שׁוּם עֵצָה רַק הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ יִהְיֶה בְּעֶזְרִי לְהִנָּצֵל מִמֶּנּוּ> EN: One time he was sitting at the table by his father-in-law's home at the third Sabbath meal, sitting in a corner, and the house was dark. And as was always his custom, he was doing what he was doing — and he began to beseech Hashem Yisburach that He show him the forefathers — Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And he made a promise to Hashem Yisburach: When You show me this, I will also cast aside even this craving [that is, of eating]. And he did whatever he did in this, and entered deeply into this — and he fell asleep. And his grandfather the Baal Shem Tov of blessed memory came to him in a dream and told him the verse [Deuteronomy 11:15]: "And I will give grass in your field for your cattle." And he awoke and it was a wonder to him — what connection does this verse have with what he had asked? And it occurred to his mind that in the Tikkunim [page 62b] it says: Eisev [grass] is the letters ayin-beis-shin — ayin-beis is the pupil of the eye, shin = three patriarchs. And this means: if you wish to see the patriarchs — it is impossible for you [unless] "b'sadcha livhemtecha" — "in your field for your cattle" — you must subdue the animal craving of eating. And he also cast aside even this craving. Segment 52 HE: סימן תב (402) — הַעֲלָמַת הָאוֹר <אָמַר הַמַּעְתִּיק: לְעִנְיַן הַעֲלָמַת הָאוֹר הַגָּדוֹל וְהַנִּפְלָא שֶׁל אַדְמוֹ"ר זַ"ל... יְהִי רָצוֹן שֶׁיִּתְגַּלֶּה הָאֱמֶת בָּעוֹלָם וְיִתְפַּרְסֵם קְדֻשָּׁתוֹ, וְאָז תָּבוֹא הַגְּאֻלָּה בִּמְהֵרָה בְּיָמֵינוּ אָמֵן> EN: Transcriber's note at end: on the concealment of his great and wondrous light — the grave hidden through controversy like Moshe's grave — may the truth be revealed and his holiness be known to the world, and then redemption will come speedily in our days, Amen. Segment 53 HE: סימן תז (407) — מוֹרֶה נְבוּכִים / רַמְבַּ"ם TWO HASHMATOS: <מִסֵּפֶר מוֹרֶה נְבוּכִים> — inline after "philosophical books" <וְאָמַר רַבֵּנוּ זַ"ל שֶׁמַּה שֶּׁמּוּבָא בְּסֵפֶר הַגִּלְגּוּלִים שֶׁהָרַמְבַּ"ם הָיָה פְּאַת שְׂמֹאל שֶׁל מֹשֶׁה רַבֵּנוּ... הָיָה מִתְקוֹטֵט עִם הָרַמְבַּ"ם...

And the maggid said: If I had heard in my youth that it was possible to serve G-d and to attain holy matters as Rabbainu did in his youth — I would have done as he did. And this is similar to what is known from the statement of the Baal Shem Tov of blessed memory — that it is said a great tzaddik does not descend from his level, and he told the story of the Baal Shem Tov regarding this, which is known. And this story of Rabbainu's youth — how he served G-d in his youth — is very awesome and wondrous, and shows us something of his exalted greatness.] Segment 54 HE: סימן תט (409) — מְפֻרְסָמִים <לִגְדוֹלִים מְפֻרְסָמִים, וּבִפְרָט סֵפֶר מוֹרֶה נְבוּכִים> EN: ...works authored by certain great ones that the world considers , and he warned greatly not to look into them at all. Segment 55 HE: סימן תכד (424) — שַׁעֲרֵי גַן עֵדֶן / שְׁמִטּוֹת <וְכָל פַּעַם שֶׁסִּפֵּר מֵעִנְיָן זֶה, לֹא הָיָה מַסְכִּים כְּלָל. וְהַסֵּפֶר שַׁעֲרֵי גַן עֵדֶן שֶׁיָּצָא מֵחָדָשׁ בְּיָמֵינוּ, הָיָה לְמַרְאֵה עֵינֵי רַבֵּנוּ זַ"ל וְלֹא הוּטַב בְּעֵינָיו... וְגַם דַּעַת הָאֲרִ"י זַ"ל אֵינוֹ מַסְכִּים כְּלָל לְעִנְיַן הַשְּׁמִטּוֹת> EN: And once he was sitting at the table with his attendant at the Third Meal of the Sabbath — it was on a Sabbath evening — and he sat in the house. And it was his constant way to ask the Patriarchs Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov to show him the way of G-d. And he trusted in G-d that he would show him. And he felt great in it — and fell inside it — and the Baal Shem Tov z"l also came. He sent his head backwards greatly, with great bitterness, and came to the verse [Deuteronomy 11:15]: "And I will give grass in your field for your animal" — and the question regarding this verse is that there is within it the aspect of the eye of the letter ayin, the aspect of shin ayin [two letters]. And the matter: whether you want to see your forebears — whether you want to see Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov — you need to care for your animal [body] to feed the desire of eating. And he also spoke much more there. Segment 56 HE: סימן תכה (425) — גַּלְגַּלִּים / עוֹף / תּוֹלַעַת THREE HASHMATOS: <שֶׁהַגַּלְגַּלִּים חוֹזְרִים... וְאָמַר שֶׁאֵינוֹ כֵּן — "וְהָאָרֶץ לְעוֹלָם עֹמָדֶת"> <יֵשׁ עוֹף אֶחָד בָּעוֹלָם שֶׁאֵינוֹ נִבְרָא אֶלָּא אֶחָד... שׂוֹרֵף אוֹתוֹ הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ... וְנִבְרָא מִיָּד אַחֵר תַּחְתָּיו> <יֵשׁ תּוֹלַעַת אַחַת שֶׁנִּבְרָא עַל אִילָן... הַתּוֹלַעַת יֵשׁ לוֹ בְּטֶבַע קְרִירוּת... נַעֲשֶׂה עָלָיו כְּמוֹ בַּיִת> EN: And he said that this incident led him to receive the Torah of Rabbainu o.b.m. (for it is written in Chayay Moharan, vol. 2). And he commanded to return also this incident — "and this very incident is the incident". And he said: that this incident needs to be told — the incident that is related there, which we saw here today and which we did not see in the matter of the incident. And he warned that the incident should not be told to others — for the love would be a joy truly in its completeness (for all the listeners are afraid of the telling). Also he said that there are many evenings in this who do not want to tell it. And then the man who squabbles in the words rose up, and he said: In my opinion, I will be the one to tell it. Answered Rabbainu z"l: In my opinion I will be the one — and then after this, Rabbainu z"l began to investigate the man if he knows the incident at all, and told him: Be'adi [on my account] I will be the one — and Rabbainu told him that he should know the incident, so that he would know it well from all of the incident. Segment 57 HE: סימן תכט (429) — שִׁדּוּךְ / אַל תִּהְיֶה רָשָׁע TWO HASHMATOS: <עַל שִׁדּוּךְ יָדוּעַ אָמַר: קָשֶׁה לְזַוֵּוג כִּקְרִיעַת יַם-סוּף, כִּי שָׁם הָיָה קָשֶׁה לְפָנָיו, כִּי הָיָה הַלָּלוּ עוֹבְדֵי עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה וְהַלָּלוּ עוֹבְדֵי עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה> <עַל אֶחָד שֶׁחָלָה וְהָיָה נֶעְצָר, אָמַר: "אַל תִּהְיֶה רָשָׁע בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָךְ"> EN: And what the Baal Shem Tov said to Admor z"l — that he could not eat the desire of the Patriarchs because it was impossible for him to see the Patriarchs without food — and see in Likutay Moharan in the discourse "R' Yosei ben Kisma" (Torah 73 [of Likutay Tinyana]) — where it explains there that by means of eating in holiness one draws out the light of the Patriarchs. Segment 58 HE: סימן תנג (453) — גִימָאלְט זַיין <אָמַר: (הָאט וִויא אִיר זֶעהט מִיךְ, קֶען גִימָאלְט זַיין) כְּמוֹ שֶׁאַתֶּם רוֹאִים אוֹתִי, יִתְכֵּן... אָמַר הַמַּעְתִּיק: רָצָה לוֹמַר שֶׁהָיָה מִתְיָרֵא וְחוֹשֵׁשׁ שֶׁלֹּא יָבוֹא לְמִכְשׁוֹל כָּזֶה שֶׁאֵין בּוֹ שׁוּם צַד תַּאֲוָה וַהֲנָאָה, אֲבָל לֹא חַ"ו שֶׁבָּא לִידֵי כָּךְ> EN: (13.) Monday, the 24th of Iyar, 5570 [1810], in Uman: He told me a dream he had dreamed that night. And he saw in the dream that there was a wedding, and he too went to the wedding. And he knew the name of the groom. And he looked and saw there a person from the World to Come — that is, a dead person. And he was very astonished and said to himself: If the world should see him, there will be a very great uproar! And he also knew the name of this dead person. And he said that these names — of the groom and of the dead man — are not actual names but true names that hint at what they hint at, like all the holy names. Afterwards the world also saw the aforementioned dead man, and I spoke with them: Is he not a dead man? And they said: Even still — and it was no novelty for them at all. Segment 59 HE: סימן תצא (491) — הַיָּמִים שֶׁהָיוּ לִי <אַלּוּ הֵן הַיָּמִים שֶׁהָיוּ לִי: אֲדָר כ"ב, אִייָר ב' ט"ז, סִיוָן י"א י"ט, טֵבֵת ג' י"ט> EN: At end of article — the list of special days that were his. Segment 60 HE: סימן תיד (514) — נֵרוֹת / שְׂחוֹק / קוֹף THREE HASHMATOS: <כְּשֶׁנִּכְבֶּה נֵר בָּא חֹשֶׁךְ... כְּשֶׁנִּפְטַר הָרַב הַקָּדוֹשׁ הָר' שָׁלוֹם זֵ"ל, כַּמָּה גָּדוֹל הַחֹשֶׁךְ... וְלֹא עַל חִנָּם הָיָה כּוֹאֵב לִי בִּטְנִי ג' יָמִים> <הוּא כְּמוֹ שְׂחוֹק שֶׁל אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ, שֶׁאֶחָד מֵהֶם מָרְדְּכַי... אַךְ שֶׁמֻּכְרָח לִהְיוֹת כָּךְ הַשְּׂחוֹק — כְּמוֹ כֵּן הוּא מַמָּשׁ, וְהָבֵן> <הוּא כְּמוֹ קוֹף שֶׁלּוֹבְשִׁין אוֹתוֹ בְּמַלְבּוּשִׁים שֶׁל אָדָם... אָמַר: אִי אֶפְשָׁר לְהַמְשִׁיךְ הַשְׁפָּעָה אֶלָּא עַל-יְדֵי שְׂרָרָה> EN: (And the matters are very concealed. And afterwards Rabbainu o.b.m. said himself that it is a wonder that they were singing for him so much there, and here he is lying. And the matter is concealed and hidden very much.) And he said that in the dream it appeared to him that he had six synagogues — and there were names in each of those places — and those very names he had known and forgotten. And I am uncertain whether it was about the melody that he said he had known and forgotten, or about those places and their names. Segment 61 HE: סימן תנב (552) — לּוּלְקֶע בְּנֵר / בָּנִים / חָסִיד שֶׁנָּפַל THREE HASHMATOS: <כִּי אֵין בָּזֶה שׁוּם אִסּוּר כְּלָל, רַק שֶׁרָצוּ לְבַלְבֵּל אוֹתוֹ בְּמָרָה שְׁחוֹרָה, עַל-כֵּן קָפַץ וְנִשְׁבַּע שֶׁדַּוְקָא יְעַשֵּׁן הַלּוּלְקֶע בְּנֵר שֶׁל חֵלֶב> <אָמַר לְעִנְיַן צַדִּיק מְפֻרְסָם שֶׁלֹּא הָיוּ לוֹ בָּנִים הֲגוּנִים... אֵרַע לְבָנָיו, רַחֲמָנָא לִצְלֵן> <שָׁמַעְתִּי מִפִּיו הַקָּדוֹשׁ שֶׁאָמַר: חָסִיד שֶׁנָּפַל גָּרוּעַ מִמּוּמָר... (וְעַיֵּן הוֹסָפוֹת סִ' עג)> EN: (14.) One time he said: Every Torah has a story, and he began to tell the story of the Torah "And Boaz said to Ruth" [Likutay Moharan, vol. 1, Torah 65] which he had said at that time. And he told: There was an audacious one who had a daughter, and he sent her to the waters to draw into the jug etc. — and he did not wish to tell more, because he had already stated the Torah.
