Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk & Rebbe Reb Zisha - HASHEM CONTINUE TO SPEAK TO YOU THRU THE TEACHINGS OF THE TZADIKIM
HASHEM CONTINUE TO
SPEAK TO YOU THRU THE TEACHINGS OF THE TZADIKIM
Rabbi Tal Zwecker, editor of the English edition of the book Mipeninei Noam Elimelech, the selection of teachings, stories and parables of REBBE ELIMELECH OF LIZHENSK, authorized me to publish a personal event in connection with Tzaddik, for the benefit of all Torah students. Read every word from Rebbe Reb Zisha, I am very happy to share it with you. Take a 'deeper look' at what you see, hear and read.
Let me start..... This happened on October 17th, 2020.
Yesterday I was studying Parashah Bereishis, and my hands were under the book Noam Elimelech, by Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk. And I was holding the book Returnity Selected Teachings from the Chassidic Masters on Teshuvah, and before open this book, I asked HaShem, the Master of the World, that I could hear words from Tzaddik, and the book was opened, and the page that opened was page 45, incredible, just by Rav Meshulem Zissel of Anipoli, the older brother of Rav Elimelech of Lizhensk. I do not consider this "by chance", it is a message from Heaven!
Here is Torah lesson of Rav Meshulem Zissel of Anipoli (Rebbe Reb Zisha):
The Teshuvah of the Rebbe Reb Zisha
During the ten days of teshuvah between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, the Rebbe Reb Zisha sat and received his congregants to bestow on them blessings and advice. The entire community of Anipoli stood waiting their turn for an audience with the Tzaddik, and while the Rebbe sat there in deveikus, in constant connection with the Creator, his eyes turned heavenward, as was his custom, and one of the assembled was seized with a sudden passion to repent. He began to sob, and as one flame ignites another, soon the entire assembly was weeping as a great awakening seized them all.
The great Tzaddik
seized the opportunity and raised his hands in supplication. He beseeched the
Almighty, “RIBBONO SHEL OLAM! Master of the World”! Surely now is an auspicious
moment for me to do teshuvah. But what can Zisha do? I have no strength to do
teshuvah properly. So what can I do but to send you the letters that spell
teshuvah, and You, Master of the world, shall join them together. Tav: ‘Tamim
tiheyeh im Hashem Elokecha – Be sincere and faithful with Hashem, your G-d’
(Devarim 18:13). Shin: ‘Shivisi Hashem L’negdi samid – I have placed Hashem
before me at all times’ (Tehillim 16:8). Vav: ‘V’ahavta L’reiacha kamocha –
Love your fellow as yourself’ (Vayikra 19:18). Beis: ‘Bechol derachecha da’eihu
– Know Him in all your ways’ (Mishlei 3:6). Hei: ‘Hatznei’a leches im Elokecha
– Walk modestly with your G-d’ (Michah 6:8). By these commands, Hashem, I will
serve You!”
This was the teshuvah of the Tzaddik, the Rebbe Reb Zisha of Anipoli. Peulas Tzaddikim

PROTECTING YOUR SOUL [Most Important Communication You Need to Read]
PROTECTING YOUR SOUL [Most Important Communication You Need to Read]
Safeguarding the precious items we have is often necessary to have insurance, a security company, guards, and watchman or to keep it in a bank safe because there are always thieves, bandits to try to rob us, right? [This is an allusion to the subject]
How to be safe and who are our guardians and watchman for the protection of our soul? “God is for us a shelter and a strength, a help in troubles; He is very accessible.” (Tehilim Chapter 46:2). Our Sages said: “Without flour, there is no Torah. Without Torah, there is no flour” (Avot 3:17) – ‘Without Torah, there is no flour’, our livelihood comes only in the merit of our Torah study, therefore Torah study must come first [The Power of Torah, Chapter The Ark of the Covenant, From the writings of Hacham Yosef Hayyim of Baghdad, BEN ISH HAI] - In the same way that He gives us, He that protects. Before the Presidents, there is the King of Kings, the Holy One, Blessed be He.
For a good connoisseur, you know what is happening in the present times (lots of lies, distortions and aberrations), even if you have positive thinking, be happy, many strange things happen. It is a time to avoid any past mistakes, and make the right choice, listen to HaShem, Your God.
Although we have everything good, a good family, rabbis, friends, pets ... all those we love, and we have goods for a comfortable life like cars, houses, airplanes, yachts, properties, everything at our disposal, still our main attention and fundamental must be in the service to Hashem, what is for eternity, because all the physical items are left in this world, and everything that we give priority to more than Torah, drops the broadband connection to HaShem, sometimes, we should study Torah, pray to HaShem as if we have nothing, or rather, everything is borrowed from Him, nothing is ours, the Master of the Universe who gives us what we have, and how to repay if not for tzedakah, some millionaires achieved this "insight" being Philanthropists with very generous donations and acts of kindness.
The same involves what prevents the increase of Divine service to HaShem in a higher way, which makes the shedim (This race of entities are called Shedim, in English we call them demons and all activity associated with them demonic. / Protection from Evil , Chapter 9 by Rabbi Ariel Bar Tzadok). The Ari "zal taught that it is the duty of man to raise the Nitsutsin Kedusha (Holy Sparks) from his fallen state. This vital process of extracting and releasing the sparks is called Birur, meaning "clarification", this process is part of the Divine plan and a larger cosmic process called Tikkun, meaning rectification or restoration of broken Sefirot containers (Beware! Your Soul may be in danger, Chapter Rectifying Sparks / Fundamentals of Kabbalah of Ari"zal by Rabbi Avraham Chachamovits). All rights reserved to the authors!
What distractions, what tricks, schemes, and "attempts" does the Other Side make a person away from the Most Holy, that God forbid, or that it is not necessary to speed up the coming of Machiach, by studying Kabbalah? (The study of Kabbalah and the revelation of the secrets of Torah in the time of the 'Heels of Moshiach' is one of the main things to hasten Redemption, as explained by the Vilna Gaon in several places / R'Helel Mishkolov, Kol Ha Tor 6 : 5 - Introduction of Caution! Your Soul may be in danger by Rabbi Avraham Chachamovits). All rights reserved to the authors! - It is known that the study of Kabbalah is for Jews over 40 and taught through a Rabbi exclusively teaching Authentic Kosher Torah Kabbalah.
I am doing like my dear Rabbis teachers, saying little and hiding a lot.
You have the Free Will to choose and do what needs to be done.
May we do right thing, and avoid anything wrong. God save us!
For I am the Lord
your God, and you shall sanctify yourselves and be holy, because I am holy, and
you shall not defile yourselves through any creeping creature that crawls on
the ground. Vayikra - Leviticus
- Chapter 1:44
Shalom,

PARASHAT VAYEIRA
PARASHAT VAYEIRA
We read in
Parashat Vayeira the famous story of Akedat Yitchak, where Hashem commanded
Avraham Avinu to offer his son Yitchak as a sacrifice. Just as Abraham drew the sword to
sacrifice his son, an angel appeared and told him not to proceed as this was
merely a test. There is a remarkable reason why this tests stands out more then
any other.
The Vilna Gaon taught that a person’s task in this world is to overcome his
innate negative tendencies. We are to identify our areas of personal weakness
and work toward improving ourselves in those very areas. We are not here to
just accept our nature, to resign ourselves to the character flaws with which
we are created. Rather, our main job during our lifetime is to break our
nature, to perfect the flawed areas of our personalities.
Avraham, as
we know, was naturally kind and generous. His outstanding quality was Chesed, as expressed by his
hospitality; he naturally loved and cared for all people. The test of Akedat
Yitzchak required Abraham to go against that natural instinct in the most
extreme way. There is nothing more cruel and heartless than killing one’s own
son. The command of Akedat Yitchak was necessary for Avraham to show that he
was prepared to obey G-d’s commands even when they directly opposed his most basic
natural instincts.
The Midrash comments that if Avraham had not passed this final test, all the previous nine tests would not have counted. This test was necessary to show that he was devoted to G-d no matter what this entailed, no matter how strongly he was naturally disinclined to obey His command.
The story of Akedat Yitchak teaches us that we can and must break natural negative tendencies. There is no such thing as "It’s too hard, this is just the way I am." If this is the way we are, then our job is precisely to change that very nature. If a man as kind as Avraham could obey God’s command to slaughter his son, then certainly we can break our natural instincts. To the contrary, this is precisely why we are here – to correct those natural tendencies, to improve the flawed areas of our characters, to continuously work towards rising closer to perfection.
