[Now do you understand why you suffered so much to draw close to Rabbainu? Now do you understand why?] Melodies? [No, I am asking, do you now know why you suffered so much?

They were all with me in concealment, no, no, without.. [Ah] Without {knowledge}, then they were all with me, they felt that Breslov is not simple They felt that I laugh at everyone, at all the great scholars And Rav Moshe Kliers also understood in his heart, he understood that I am {...}, that I am more important {than he} [Yes?]

He felt in his heart, he was the rabbi in.., he was all the.. all the.. but {. .} But not many days, he became ill and passed away and became, and there was a funeral, a large funeral They came from Yerushalayim {for Havdalah}, to.. to the funeral, he had a great name throughout the world But Yisroel Ber, I was in great disgrace and lowliness, and I laughed, here, there, I laughed at everyone And in this way I drew several souls from them close, from the great ones, yes His words, mine, would enter his heart, he would be ashamed in his heart It was a kind of display like that, only the greatness of the Creator [Which great.., which great ones did you draw close?

They were all great, but the greater, {{the sick one}}, was Moshe Kliers Yes, Moshe Kliers, one night, {I ate like, ...}.., I remember as though it were now He went, I {th…}, I prayed Maariv together with him, and after the prayer he went home And his house was close to the synagogue, and he went and said, and spoke lashon hara and disgrace about our holy Rabbainu and about Rebbe Nassan, and afterwards they cut up his son {Th.. it is not, not, ah, whether on that same day or the next} {Or, or} tomorrow, they cut up his son {into pieces}, into pieces, and his cries were throughout Tzfas This was in Tzfas The next morning he came under heavy guard by the English to Tzfas, and he saw the pieces, the pieces.. of the son He {….} contracted the {sugar} illness, diabetes, sugar, and was {si.., sick} for some months And there was a funeral {…} and th.. and he passed away But I.., he spoke lashon hara about our holy Rabbainu and about Rebbe Nassan Oy vey, what he suffered in his lifetime, what he, I think he had regret over all this

There were very harsh punishments, which it is impossible to speak w.. with the mouth What Hashem Yisbarach repays for disgrace of the tzaddik And regarding the honor of the tzaddik, the Holy One, Blessed Be He, is more particular than over the entire Torah Only he and Rebbe Nassan, two people, laugh at the whole world Breslov, Breslov is not yet, there will yet be what is impossible to d.., to estimate and describe There will be such a Rebbe, such joy in the world, which has not been, been since the day the world was created When our holy Rabbainu was revealed Our holy Rabbainu said: “Mashiach will give a commentary on the ‘Likutay Moharan’” Yes, no tzaddik said such a thing “Mashiach will give a commentary on, on his book, on the ‘Likutay Moharan’ He spoke briefly, this is a drop from the sea, this is a drop from the sea, still less, more “A novelty like me has still never been in the world,” and we speak and do not know.., know anything at all And the whole world {...}, the whole world did not know {…} of Rabbainu, there were great ones, gaonim and scholars And they knew nothing of our holy Rabbainu; on the contrary, they opposed, they persecuted, disgraced {Our} holy Rabbainu {in the world}, what was, {and perhaps} now it will be the opposite, it will be.. ...[{Rebbe Yisroel}, Rabbainu will rectify everyone?] Ah?

And I did not have bread to eat, I and the children did not have bread to eat And so {…} I left, I left the children and went to pray, {..} and I returned, and there was no bread. I remember that once a certain learned man came to Teveria, and he was, he had no sons, and he came to Teveria and would pray, pray at the graves of tzaddikim that he should have sons, and he gave me shekels several times and.. {….. shekels …..}, supported me, supported me, and afterwards he went down and said to me: “Today no, no, I can no longer”

Oy, what, the humiliations of hunger, this is impossible to describe I suffered hunger, hunger, to die, yes And there was no one who would have compassion {always}, give me some, some, some, {nu}, some penny And this is good; at the time of the event I was suffering and I was angry with Hashem Yisbarach, “Why? Why?” and now I say: “If only I had suffered more” [Why?] The children grew up through miracles and remained alive, Chava and Tzipora, five daughters {..}, boruch Hashem, they all have bread to eat, and they have what to eat and they have a livelihood, but not, not as I desire [Why not as you desire?] They became, I do not know, like this, this is my trial A person {…} knows nothing, we, {...} need, we need to.. to.. to.. to..

L.. such a “Likutay Tefilos,” does it exist in the world? Who can say that there is {in the world} even one utterance from the “Likutay Tefilos”? Such truth, such Torah, such a “Likutay Tefilos,” has not yet been in the world

{Ah, ah, ho, and..} and there is more to speak, speak, speak This is not even a drop from the sea And the matter of his greatness and the essence of his greatness, that he can help us, {..} Such sick people, I can help even a sick person who has no cure, {then} I can heal him If we had known of this, believed in this, it was, we would have been holy tzaddikim; what had never been in the world already exists in the world, “Likutay Moharan,” Mashiach will give a commentary on it There is already “Likutay Moharan” There is already “Likutay Tefilos” There is already “Likutay Halachos” There is already “Likutay Eitzos” There is already {“Sichos,” what there is} Every {utterance}, all the great ones throughout the world will fall, will be ashamed, {yes} “What is this?

Nachman traveled and did not leave even one penny, and we have no bread” Then he wrote to Rebbe Nassan, that he should make another pocket and give for bread for {..} For the children of, of Rebbe Nachman of Tulchin {This is how the…. were printed}, this is how the “Likutay Halachos” was printed

I {..} Rebbe Nachman, Rebbe Alfandari, the Rav, Rav Alfandari was the gaon of the generation And he asked the administrators of the yeshiva to give me bread for the children And they said: “No, not to Yisroel Ber, he studies Breslov books, we will not give him anything” Rav Moshe, Rav Moshe Kliers, yes, afterwards he became ill and passed away He was the head of the yeshiva, and everything was in the hand, in his hand, yes {Yes, and that is it, and.. yes, and..} His administrator said: “Rav Moshe does not want to give them anything, he studies Breslov books in the yeshiva”… ...{He was} a young man of thirty or less, yes, a young man And he spoke about Rebbe Nassan and about our holy Rabbainu, he spoke lashon hara Oh, what he suffered, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, what he saw and what he suffered {for this} For having disgraced the tzaddik Who can estimate this?
