TO BE HAPPY, TRULY Rabbi Nachman of Breslov's teachings

 



TO BE HAPPY, TRULY

(Rabbi Nachman of Breslov famously taught, “It is a great mitzvah to be happy always.")

 

Aren't you Happy? Let's work this out, my good friend.

 

There is the best specialist in the world for this cause and available to everyone, from whatever level one is presently at, and he listens to the big millionaires as well as the poor, at no cost (laughs), the main requirement is just accept what he recommends. Are you ready to open your heart to the Tzaddik? Come on, he'll hear you.

 

It's good and healthy to be Happy and living in a Joy mood, our teacher, Rebbe Nachman, the Light of Lights, teach us; even in an involuntary way, we must not surrender to problems, doubts, losses... we must strive to be happy and see the beautiful things around us and within us, see the miracles and wonders like rain, all the delicious and nutritious fruits, the abundant food. Sometimes we consider things casual in Nature and Environment, the Creator provided thousands of beauties and resources to man, we were given much more than we deserve. These are good reasons to be very happy.

 

In these moments, a good recommendation is to stop wanting "receive to ourselves" and wish to share, yes, to give of our time and resources to other people, you will be better for doing good, contributing to the well-being of other people, it will lead you to happiness, your presence is important in this world, every act of kindness benefits the whole world.

 

Here are some powerful insights from Rabbi Nachman of Breslov:

 

“Make every effort to maintain a happy, positive outlook at all times”

 

“There is a way in which everything can be turned to good”

 

“If you are happy, the whole world benefits”

 

“You must search for the good in yourself, you should always try to be happy and serve G-d with joy, G-d will soon help you and His light will shine on you again”

 

“You should feel so happy when you do a mitzvah that you don’t do it merely to receive a reward”

 

“It is a wonderful thing when people dance for joy for the sake of a mitzvah!”

 

“The way to come to joy is through Torah and Prayer”

A LETTER INSPIRED BY THE REBBE

 


Dear Rabbi Tal Zwecker, In an attempt to inspire more people to approach HaShem, to do good deeds of kindness, I wrote this letter with my experiences and inspired by the lessons of the Rebbe.

Could you give Brachah so that the words of this letter enter people's hearts and continue to expand in myself?

“I give my berachos that people find inspiration to serve Hashem that this expands in your heart and theirs Amen Happy Simchas Torah”

Rabbi Tal Zwecker

(Book Author: Mipeninei Noam Elimelech by Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk)

 

A LETTER INSPIRED BY THE REBBE

 

Thank You HaShem! Receiving the Torah's Wisdom

First of all, I apologize for mistakes in my English, and with an open heart I share my experience with the best of intentions.

Torah is finding our true Self, the inspiration to find our mission, precisely the most important reason of our lives, clear impression of the existence; to serve HaShem and do our tikkun.

Torah is the work of the Creator; His Commandments are tools of the workers.

Torah is the only formula that cleans, restores and preserves a person's durability, spiritually and physically.



Torah is the Manual of Life as sages said. Using Torah's wisdom in acts of goodness and kindness, nothing remains the same like before.

A reality we cannot forget, the darkness of Terrorism and Antisemitism is evident around the world and what we can to do is Bring The Light of Torah to Humanity, it started with the big campaign for the Rebbe, teaching The Noahide Code (Universal Laws for Mankind) and spreading Torah was and it has been a great positive impact in the society, this is the way, each one doing what is possible in your community, city and country, or via Internet. Taking action in the Torah is a priority to spread goodness and kindness.

There's not much to add to continue what the Rebbe was doing, read what there is about his teachings, acts, something you and I can do, it makes sense, right?

There are fundamental Mitzvot like giving Tzedakah. However, even though some of us have the cliché of "Lack of time" because of job commitments or study hours at the University, But We Must Remember Other People From Time to Time, It's an Act of Kindness to send an email asking if your grandfather, your grandmother, your parents (if you are living elsewhere), your friend is Ok [How are you? I hope so.] Sounds basic and futile, but this kind of contact isn't just for someone who is lacking in affection, or depressed, well, that's what good friends, mates, relatives should do, right? Are we doing this weekly or at least once a month?

Communication and Feedback can be taken into account and widen our attention to this, when we noticed the thousands of letters of the Rebbe, yes, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, his correspondence was many and he dedicated to answering and sending by mail, which nowadays could be by Email. It is also well known and documented in Alim LiTerufah the correspondences that Reb Noson of Breslov had with many people, even with all the financial difficulties, opposition from authorities against Judaism, they gave this value to each other, conversations based on Torah is a Mitzvah.

"With Wisdom the house will be built and with Understanding the rooms will be filled." Chayey Moharan of Rebbe Nachman.

G-d blesses you with holy inspiration, good intentions and good actions.

Shalom,

Gilson Sasson.
