People all over think that personal prayer - hitbodedut - is some form of Breslever crazy invention. Yours truly answers the question if personal prayer is really Breslever Shtick - this is info that you'll be happy to have at your disposal. Find out how some of the greatest tzaddikim acted just like Breslevers...
If you saw yesterday's emuna lesson - The Newsmaker - then you know that the politicians and the journalists don't determine anything. If you really want to know what's happening in the world, listen to th timeless words of the true tzaddikim. The Lubavitcher Rebbe's message from 21 years ago reflects what's happening today with precision accuracy. Read the Rebbe's message On Territorial Concessions in this week's amazing issue of Breslev Israel web magazine.
In Judaism, glory doesn't mean material or "this world" glory. Indeed, all the opulence and amenities of this world are sorely finite, ending up in dust and ashes. Rabbi Shalom Arush's 30 Minutes to Glory is therefore an article that must be on your mandatory reading list this week.
What I like best about our staff writer Tal Rotem is his love for Hashem, for our country, and for our people. Tal knows Israel like the back of his hand. His new "Land of Israel" series is something we're really proud of. This week, he writes about the Sea of Galilee in The Mystical Kinneret.

Have a wonderful week!
Shavua tov everyone:) I couldn't resist commenting for one more day!
....sigh.... Life is really challenging!!!
Has anyone been to a shopping mall lately? Totally opposite of my frum
Neighborhood; my home! Who invented these places? I had a huge anxiety attack on my kids. It was like we spent all week in yom tov/ shabbos mode then we need clothes so we step inside this mall and in a matter a minutes we are surrounded by things, many things, that have no value in our lives; yet, the kids need clothes and most their frum friends shop there... Oy! I haven't reconciled going from
Authentic kedushah to complete materialism.
I often need to remind myself to keep my feet on the ground because I find myself constantly resisting being here on earth because I prefer the spiritual euphoria of how the people in world could be and will be iyh, and not how they seem today, shallow, superficial, devoid of g-dliness and controlled.
I'm involved with issues that I refer to as high-class problems ( a borrowed phrase) that people have. If I undersrand correctly, High-class problems are problems that congenitally healthy people contract from forgetting to recognize all that they have been blessed with and instead focus on what's wrong-erg!!!
I watched The newsmaker and R. Brody, thnx again for educational pick-me-up.
I'm starting to wonder if being breslev or associating with breslev is equivalent to being in an elite military unit?!? Haha:) it's so worth the effort required:)!
The articles are rich with reality and meaning, thnx!
And the Rebbe's message, Well, maybe he has a yeshiva and seminary in shamayim for all the soldiers and innocent victims of terrorism. You are not forgotten!
For those of us left on earth we won't stop praying for a salvation and iyh continue growing in Torah and mitzvot because that is Hashem's will.
