Beautiful Breslov Communities in Poland — But Yearning for Eretz Yisrael

[Yiddish:] "And beyond this — I am here with the communities [קבוצים — Breslov groups; the Yiddish plural קבוצים refers to the local Breslov fellowships of Poland]. But the essential is this: they are very beautiful communities and very precious souls. And in recent years — young men have drawn close (in Warsaw) — 'a fruitful son is Yosef' [Genesis 49:22 — used here as a metaphor for the flourishing Breslov youth movement] — twenty wonderful and awesome jewels — besides young married men, etc. But even so — I yearn very greatly for Eretz Yisrael. My very life is going out — yearning for Eretz Yisrael. I could not be here in any way — were it not for the two matters: perhaps Uman — and the conclusion regarding marital peace. Were it not for these — I would travel immediately to Eretz Yisrael. Oh — how does one take these communities and souls to the holy places? They are servants of Hashem. But there is still lacking completeness in the overall community — that they should study as we studied in the first periods in Meron — Rabbainu's books with the dancing, etc., etc. Uman is that. The other is similar to it but not the same."
