    This shiur explores the inner mechanics of teshuvah in Torah 29:2 (para 4-5) not as fragmented efforts of repentance, but as systemic repair through the structure of the sefiros, the power of speech, and Shmiras HaBris.

    Rav Nachman explains that aveiros disrupt the spiritual relationship between mashpia and mekabel - between Yesod and Malchus. Trying to fix each failure individually is not only overwhelming, it’s ultimately ineffective. Instead, we’re taught the concept of Tikkun Klali: a root-level realignment that restores order above and below.

    We examine how this root repair, through praising tzadikim, guarding the bris, and drawing down lavnunit (purity) from Chochmah, transforms disconnection (dam niddah) into nurturing flow. The result is more than personal healing—it reopens the channel for shefa and parnassah to enter the world.

    At its core, the shiur reveals a spiritual architecture for teshuvah that connects the mystical system to lived avodah.

    Rebbe Nachman, in Likutei Moharan 29:1, redefines dibur not as the act of speaking, but as a form of connection—a spiritual structure that only exists when it carries tov. And tov can only flow through daas. Dibur that lacks daas is not called dibur at all.

    This shiur lays out a spiritual causal chain: when the kli (malchus) is misaligned or stained, the flow breaks. The result is not just personal blockage—it’s a cosmic pegam in the system of mashpia and mekabel.


    And yet, there is a path of repair: through shevach haTzaddik, dibur is elevated, daas is awakened, and the zivug above is restored. What was once dam niddah—a force of separation—can be reversed and redefined. Malchus reattaches to its source, and the system heals from the top down.

    Title:

    Aleph Through Yud — Elevating Torah From the Source

    Based on Likutei Moharan Torah 28, with R’ Nosson’s Appendix

    Overview:

    This shiur explores how Torah can either connect us to HaShem’s ratzon (will) or, chas v’shalom, be disconnected when taught superficially in the context the opposition against true talmidei chachamim that we have been discussing. Rebbe Nachman maps this through the first ten letters of the Aleph Beis, showing the path from fallen Alephs back to their source — and how serving true talmidei chachamim anchors us in emes.

    -----

    Some leaders relate to Torah horizontally superficially, as detached from its source. This is “Aleph Ne’fulin” — fallen Alephs — Torah taken at face value, not as a our access to deeper truth.

    We must attach to tzaddikim who are yirei Shamayim, including serving talmidei chachamim (an act compared to bringing the Korban Tamid.); and be anchored in chessed and emunah, to be protected from, and subdie these harmful influences.

    Takeaway:

    Torah must be approached as an expression of HaShem’s infinite will, not a self-contained “superficial” knowledge. By aligning with true tzaddikim and extracting the hidden good, we restore fallen Alephs to their source — and strengthen our connection to the One who gave it

    In this shiur, we continue to explore the Torah transmission through a Tzaddik and opposition with Torah teachers lacking authenticity. We uncover how humility, emunah, chessed, and being in the service tzaddkim allow Torah to descend from the highest worlds into human experience.

    We explain the Tzaddik as a conduit that connects those in his charge with the ultimate truth. We contrast this with the those leaders lacking integrity and authenticity whose Torah is self-referential and disconnected from Truth. At the center of the shiur is a piercing message: 'Torah' that is disconnected from its source is not truly Torah at all!

    Jul 9 2025

    In this powerful opening to Torah 28, we confront a piercing question: Not just what Torah are you learning—but from where?

    The shiur launches into a sweeping meditation on authentic Torah transmission and the distinction between lavush (outer garment) and essence—we learn that Torah only uplifts when drawn from its true source.

    The core warning? A Torah rooted externality without depth and attachment to the source can mislead both teacher and student. When Torah becomes a tool to flatter, entertain, or avoid discomfort, it loses its power to transform. And when we confuse charisma for kedusha, we risk following a voice disconnected from the makor ha’emes.

    Ultimately, the shiur invites us to ask: Are we aligned with the pipeline of truth, or just receiving echoes filtered through ego?

    🎙️ Torah 27, Part 3 — Serving in One Voice, Crying with One Heart

    Final World-Class Version for SpotifyIn this shiur, we continue uncovering Rav Nachman’s sweeping vision of redemption in Torah 27 — not merely as personal growth, but as global alignment through individual avodah.We explore what it means for each soul to cast aside falsehood and draw near to truth — not by becoming the same, but by fulfilling distinct roles within a divinely orchestrated system. Through vivid analogies from factory systems, marriage, and community, the shiur redefines shalom as purposeful interdependence grounded in emes. True peace, we learn, is not passive — it is coordinated harmony.One of the shiur’s most powerful emotional pivots centers on the difference between atzvus (paralyzing sadness) and merirus (constructive bitterness). While atzvus silences, merirus cries out — and in that cry, we find connection with Hashem.The shiur concludes with a stirring reflection on music as a vehicle for coming close to Hashem.

    To draw the entire world to serve Hashem in unison, we must achieve true shalom. In this shiur, we explore how that harmony is only possible through Ha’aras Panim and Hadaras Panim—an inner radiance drawn from Torah, refined voice, and the spiritual power of Tikkun HaBris. When one purifies their kol (voice), even tefillah without words can pierce through concealment. From the depths of emotional expression to the harmony of collective shira, we uncover the chain from Yosef HaTzaddik’s nisayon to the cosmic split of the sea—and how inner purity unleashes song, unity, and redemption.

    Practical Applications

    Refine Your Voice through Torah

    Consider how deeply your words reflect inner clarity. Invest in learning that purifies koach ha’dibur—even reviewing the 13 Middos in davening with intent can elevate your kol.


    Turn to Hashem Even Without Words

    When you're overwhelmed or confused, don’t wait for the perfect tefillah. Even a raw kol—a cry, a sigh, or an honest moment of emotional presence—can reach Hashem powerfully.


    Protect Your Kedushah to Protect Your Clarity

    The shiur draws a powerful link between bris, hadras panim, and tefillah. Guarding personal kedushah isn’t just moral—it protects your spiritual antenna to receive truth.

    Lean Into Oneness During Conflict

    True shalom is not avoiding opposition—it’s integration toward a higher goal. Next time you face tension, ask: What greater ratson Hashem could unify these parts?

    Use Shabbos as a Spiritual Calibration

    The link between shira, tikun habris, and Shabbos suggests that preparing for and experiencing Shabbos consciously can be a weekly reset toward inner harmony.

    In this profound opening to Likutei Moharan Torah 27, we explore the sweeping vision of Rabbi Nachman: a world unified in service of Hashem. Drawing on the Athenian sages’ question about the chick in the shell, this shiur reframes individual avodah as inherently cosmic. How does Shalom become the vessel for Giluy Shechinah? What is the deeper meaning of Ha’aras Panim, and how is it rooted in the Torah and the Tzura Adam?

    We delve into:

    • The global mission of every Jew and how each neshamah is a microcosm of creation.
    • Why true unity (Shalom) isn’t just about avoiding conflict but about mutual bitul toward a higher goal.
    • How Yaakov Avinu, Ha’aras Panim, and the Shemos of Hashem reveal divine structure in the world.
    • The role of Torah as blueprint and how each of the 600,000 souls uniquely expresses one facet of that truth.
    • What it means to bring the world to serve Hashem b’shem echad, not through conformity but harmony.

    -----

    Quotables:

    "You can't achieve shalom by being separate. True shalom (peace/completion/perfection) is when each soul fulfills its unique role within a single divine symphony."

    "Every Jew contains all the worlds within themselves—our personal refinement reshapes creation itself."
