To some, Rabbi Nachman is best known for his stories, which rank among the classics of world literature. For others he is the outstanding mystic and Kabbalist. Yet others know him through his main teachings about prayer and joy. And to his followers, the Breslover chassidim, Rabbi Nachman is the continuing source of wisdom and inspiration for a movement which today is very much alive. The universal value of Rabbi Nachman’s works is firmly established, and growing numbers are turning to his works for their challenging relevance to contemporary issues. But because they were written either in Hebrew or Yiddish, they have been somewhat inaccessible to the general reader. Even advanced rabbinic scholars frequently find themselves unable to keep abreast of Rabbi Nachman’s vast array of references to all areas of Jewish religious literature. ADVICE was compiled by Rabbi Nathan in order to present Rabbi Nachman’s teachings in a systematic way. The reader can thus gain an understanding of all the main themes and concepts of Rabbi Nachman’s ideas, and attain a practical grasp of his way of simplicity and joy.
Rebbe Nathan of Breslov (January 22, 1780 – December 20, 1844), also known as Reb Noson, born Nathan Sternhartz, was the chief disciple and scribe of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, founder of the Breslov Hasidic dynasty. Reb Noson is credited with preserving, promoting and expanding the Breslov movement after the Rebbe's death. Rebbe Nachman himself said, "Were it not for Reb Noson, not a page of my writings would have remained."
Rebbe Nachman, a great-grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, revived the Hasidic movement by combining the esoteric secrets of Judaism (the Kabbalah) with in-depth Torah scholarship. He attracted thousands of followers during his lifetime, and his influence continues today through many Hasidic movements such as Breslov Hasidism. Reb Nachman's religious philosophy revolved around closeness to God and speaking to God in normal conversation "as you would with a best friend". The concept of hitbodedut is central to his thinking |
