Though I'm not Jewish, I've had a lifelong fascination with Judaism and Jewish history, and these lectures really hit my sweet spots -- thank you very much for sharing with us the fruits of your considerable erudition -- I love the jokes too!
Love your nonjudgmental approach to history.
I'm not a Breslover, but I've always loved the Turkey Prince story and think of it as containing an incredibly deep message. It's sort of like the undoing of the Don Quijote complex by gradually bringing a person back into reality, versus shocking him into it. I think that this method can be applied to many scenarios, not all of which necessarily imply mental instability.
Am Yisroel Chai and many thanks for your superb insights into our history!
I can listen to you all day long. Toda raba meod !
Stories are powerful. We get so wrapped up in our own interpretations that direct argument is ineffective, a story gets under our guard and lets us consider a situation from a different point of view.
Dear Rabbi Aabramson, thank you so much for your “מאור פנים תמיד״. My mother ע״ה was incarcerated in the most horrible of camps, Ravensbruck. She and hundreds of women arrived there when the Piotrekov Ghetto was liquidated in the year 1944. They were doing forced labour in carrying large loads of coal, without warm coats, without shoes in the fields which were already covered with snow. They were cold, hungry and thirsty, their feet were bleeding and they were covered with soot. Suddenly one of women started to sing “איך דאנק דיר
גאטעניו איך בין
I love these talks, thank you for uploading them and please upload many more
Thank you very much for all the videos and hard work you do! Keep going!
Dr. Abramson, you are a brilliant and charming man. Thank you for making this material so accessible.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad that you enjoy the channel.
This is a great lecture! I really enjoyed the personal communication style and the comments from his daughter. I look forward to listening to the other lectures/lessons!
i simply want to comment that i appreciate these series
What a wonderful lecture. Full of great information and humour too. I really feel I learned lots of valuable background information about Rebbe Nachman that I didn't know before. Many thanks and kol hakavod
More than interesting. All the best!
Thanks to this lecture, I bought the book (A Palace of Pearls: The Stories of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav Retold By Howard Schwartz, Oxford University Press, 2018) and started reading it. Very good for cultural immersion. There is ample introductory material, each tale is followed by commentary, and pages of bibliography to go on.
Glad to hear it! Learn in good health.
I had so much fun learning Rabbi Nachman biography. So cool way to teach. Thank you.
Great lecture. Thank you!
Nice lecture. Thanks for sharing.
Great lecture!
Love you and your lectures . Thank you for doing them, you are awesome! Keep the jokes coming.
Yofi! Always so good love ❤ your lectures.
I enjoy your lectures and find them very informative. I do have one criticism concerning what you said about Kafka "killing himself": Kafka suffered from tuberculosis and was in and out of sanatoriums for treatment. He had difficulty swallowing in the latter stages of his illness- and if this counts as starvation, then he starved to death, but it wasn't necessarily a deliberate effort to commit suicide. He did experience depression and followed an idiosyncratic diet- naturopathic and vegetarian- which may or may not have helped him. Biographies usually state that he died of tuberculosis while undergoing treatment in a sanatorium- not that he "killed himself".
I look forward to that. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for information!
Thank you so much for this lecture. I have been interested in learning of Breslov movement and heard of their support of an independent Kurdistan. Great Job ! May you and your family be blessed.
Very interesting, Thanks!!
Glad you liked it!
I watch many of Dr. Abramson's lectures. Enjoyable and very educational. He surprises me, however, when he seems so naive about the command, repeated many times over, to be not just happy but very happy, to serve God with joy and gladness of heart, with singing dancing and wine. That tradition is much larger than Breslov Hasidism. It is also a Shabbat mitzva (oneg shabbat). I suspect some of the early Hasids envied the Litvak intelligentsia for their Talmudic and Biblical learning and scholarship. But people like Rebbe Nachman also made very important contributions emphasizing the core Judaic values of God's welcoming presence and his love.
Thank you for the lecture. Am I the only one who wonders why the picture of R' Nachman appears to be that of a 50+ year-old man despite the fact tgat he died at 38.
Really interesting!
***** Yes I have. Really nice. ... so you do have a bias (as do all humans), but it's a good one.
Excellent talk!
+Henry Abramson synchronicity, i just posted a short story by Nachman of Bresolv i translated from Hebrew on my youtube channel when i saw your video, actually i was looking how to spell "Breslov".
+Seagull B and i am afraid my very short video ,did not come out so good because i had a potentially barking dog sitting near by ..my dog has a strong protective instinct .
Also, I love your lectures. Peace.
Dr. Abramson, you have a great talent to bring over knowledge. It does not bore the audience and you really enjoy explaining things in a matter so people would understand. Thank you from Belgium. Shalom.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your feedback and I'm glad that you enjoy the classes!
Thank you from Sweden! 😊
This is great
TY
WOW Thank you!
by the way love your lecture, Shalom
Very interesting. I am Christian and I am really interested in the Jewish people and culture. I have been listening to the Rabbi Nachman song often and love the music and the dancing. I had to find out more about him. Thank you for the information and the jokes. I am so far removed from your culture I didn't get the twenty dollars on tuesday...lol but one day I believe my Creator will write His law on my heart...until then I just keep gleaning. I LOVE ISRAEL...I LOVE THE JEWS and I am ever so grateful to His chosen.
+InLivingWater Na nach nachma nachman meuman!!
Re Tuesday and the twenty dollar note. Money on the sabbath is 'mukseh' ie not to be touched and handled let alone make use of on a shabbat. So the disciple says how great was his rabbi who 'had the power' to turn the sabbath into Tuesday.....so that he could pick up the note and keep it. Of course an exaggeration but not easy to leave a note on the sidewalk for another to pick up and keep.
InLivingWater , your not "in" the living water. You also don't know who Gods Chosen are.
@@Volvi373 I've never liked that joke 😒
@@ahmahtiyehudim7307 they aren't being mean, why are you?
I like the way Dr Abramson presents the history behind the Nachman movement because it humanizes a sect that is often held up to ridicule, perhaps unfairly.
wow! I love the mad prince turkey story! may I never forget it!
Enjoyed this, thank you Mr Abramson. I thought however that Rebbe Nachman was a great-grandson (rather than grandson as you mention) of the Besht? Keep up the great work - and the jokes!
A fine Teacher!
Life is fascinating. :) I was working on rebuilding my genealogical tree and how surprised I was finding that one of my (not direct, but still) relative is such an extraordinary person. :) Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. :)
Your lecture was a inspiring and quirky portrait for me of the man, the time he lived in, and the impact he's had. I would love to hear your comments one day on aside from lineage, what qualities goes into people who have such profound influence on others that who they were lives on in the present, in Jewish consciousness. Learned, of course, but perhaps psychic?, etc.? Thank you for the series

Psalm 69
19 You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed;
all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart
and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
for comforters, but I found none.
21 They put gall in my food
and gave me vinegar for my thirst.
22 May the table set before them become a snare;
may it become retribution and[b] a trap.
23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,
and their backs be bent forever.
24 Pour out your wrath on them;
let your fierce anger overtake them.
25 May their place be deserted;
let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute those you wound
and talk about the pain of those you hurt.
27 Charge them with crime upon crime;
do not let them share in your salvation.
28 May they be blotted out of the book of life
and not be listed with the righteous.

Matthew 27
34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

Matthew 8:10-12
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel[a] have I found such faith. 11 I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, 12 while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
☝️☝️☝️
Jews are the sons of the kingdom. Rejecting Him you are rejecting your own Salvation. Yeshua means just that YAH saves.
Your comments are very thoughtful. One quibble: "psychic"? Not so much... empathetic, maybe. But more likely psychotic. Both Rebbi Nachman & R. D. Laing would likely see eye to eye on that one.
Wow such fun!
"Guttural" and "voiceless fricative" are completely independent qualities. In fact, the letter chet as pronounced in Modern Hebrew is what's known as a _voiceless uvular fricative,_ and uvular sounds are guttural. (Historically, and still today in Mizrachi pronunciation, it was a _voiceless pharyngeal fricative,_ which is "even more guttural".)
Thanks!

Hisbodedut does not involve talking to the walls. It is a conversation between the individual and Hashem. It is universal that this great chassidic leader is referred to as Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, and not Rabbi Nahman of Bratzlav. In addition, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov was the Great Grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, NOT the grandson as Henry Abramson explains
I don't know what I would do without hitbodedut.
Shalom,I very much enjoy your jokes,thank you.
Thank you. Enjoyed the lecture.
scourge on the wheat, (madness cross the land story)? like st. Anthony's fire?

I listened from Australia to your wonderful lecture,they say:
"The Rebbe of the Tzaddikim is R Elimelech The Rebbe of the Benonim is R Schneur Zalman of Liadi and The Rebbe of the Baalei Teshuva is R. Nachman!
And your the Rebbe of youtube.
I enjoyed you lecture,I am a fan of all hasidout
That bring jews back to ashem.
But you forgot to mentioned that all the writings of rabbi nahman were writen by rabbi nathan who was a lidvak,and become the most essential student of rabbi nahman.
Can you do a biography on yisroel ber odesser?
I'm sorry but this lesson does not portray Rabbi Nachman objectively. For one example is that you compare hand clapping during prayers to cell phone disturbances without even mentioning the reason behind those customs. (I'm just halfway through this lesson.)
JH: Humor. According to the Talmud, those who make others laugh have a special place in the world-to-come; of course there's lots of space near the Heavenly Thrown. Perhaps Dr. Abramson's might be just a tad to the left, and a pace or two behind!? 🫠
עִבְד֣וּ אֶת־ה' בְּשִׂמְחָ֑ה בֹּ֥אוּ לְ֝פָנָ֗יו עִבְד֣וּ אֶת־ה' בְּשִׂמְחָ֑ה בֹּ֥אוּ לְ֝פָנָ֗יו בִּרְנָנָֽה׃ Serve the LORD with gladness; come before His presence with singing. (תהילים ק׳ ב׳ Psalms 100:2)

I'll share a trick to see each shiur in less time. On the upper right corner you'll see 3 vertical dots. Click (or touch) and a menu will pop-up. Select "Playback Speed". Choose the speed you want. My suggestion is to start with 1.25x and gradually get use to high-speed until you can easily follow, heart and understand at 1.75x or 2x speed. It's better to use headphones. I recommend zero multitasking.
The phrase 'God never gives you more than you can handle' is used by many Christian churches in the UK.
I have just started watching your videos and find them very interesting but I do think you should fire your cameraman.
Accurate to a large degree, but, alas, fantastically shallow. On the other hand, it would be unfair to expect anything else. It is like trying to give a lecture to the deaf about the Beatles or telling the blind about how special Michelangelo is.
There has never been another figure like Rebbe Nachman in the annals of Jewish history. All serious sages, like the Chzon Ish and the Steipeler Rav - both ardently Lithuanian giants (non-Hassidic movement) studied Rebbe Nachman's teachings and that of his great disciple Rebbe Nosson of Breslov in great depth. His teachings have no equal in the entire Jewish history - the closest in style is Tikuney Zohar, the mysterious, completely opaque addendum attributed to Rabbi Shimon Bar Yopchai that opens 70 gates of mystical secrets embedded in "Bereshis", the very first word of the bible.
The most stark attributes of Rebbe Nachman's teaching are its feet-on-the-ground practical aspects on one hand and the critical importance of the role of the Tzadik (the teacher) and your friends in your spiritual quest. The idea is that this world is the hallway to the world to come and you had better put your nose to the grindstone and get crackin'. His stories are the very first Jewish works of fiction in history - yet their aim was not literary, but to serve as "spiritual potion" that wakes a person from his spiritual slumber simply by reading and enjoying them.

ישר כוח!!
A.P.Grundman , I like your knowledge and reasoning on this lexture
True, just want to point out when you say "there has never been a figure like Rabbi Ploni" that is obvious since no two people are the same, even if the topic or style is similar
@Menachem Mevashir "He has done 'Extensive' research and 'Believes'" so finally his research amounts to 'belief' meaning there was ultimately a bias that was not based in his research.
Also Jews cannot convert to christianity, even if they baptise, it has no effect, so no one can cause a Jew to be Christian because G-d decided so :)
Also Rabbi Nachman's ideas are ultimately embedded in Judaism so saying there are "Christian ideas" in Rabbi Nachman's teachings is basically saying Christianity's ideas are taken from Judaism which is 110% true.
Anyway while your post may seem innocent on the surface it is filled with lies and deceit, whether you realise it or not - and therefore suggest you delete it.
And I would stay away from 'Brother Gilbert' before his poison take hold of anyone else.
@Menachem Mevashir Lay it to rest dude. Don't be silly.
The saying God doesn't give us more than we can handle is a saying in the Talmud avodah zarah 3a. In the Aramaic original it's
אין הקב"ה בא בטרוניא עם בריאותיו.
See also Shemos Rabah 34;1
That’s not exactly the same saying. It doesn’t even necessarily really keen the same thing.
The idea that the God won't give us more then we can handle is coming from the New Testament, that was written centuries before Talmud.
Interesting class but how can you talk about Rabbi Nachman without mentioning his Boswell Rabbi Nathan
weird. you said 'God doesn't give us a challenge we didn't have the strength to overcome; so the greatness of your suffering is actually a sign of how much faith God has in you, rather than Gods apathy for you." I actually picked this up from Christian thinking in my area. funny... makes sense its Jewish too, of course.
"You are never given an obstacle you cannot overcome."[46]
My early gift
I believe Rabbi Nachaman was a fourth generation of the besht. Besht- Odel- Faiga- Rebbi Nachman

@Menachem Mevashir Your a terrible person, one of G-ds most hated poeple, you will never have a chelek in the world to come, even if you do teshuvah. your new name is Yemach shemo Vzichro. may u enjoy ur schar in this world, so it doesnt go too waste. If u want links from the Toras Moshe Rabbeinu, i could send them to you. your a heretic and a desecration of g-ds name, probably wonr even be a banana eaten by an amei haaretz in your next gilgul.
@@zalmancohen2096 what is going on here? Why is it offensive to say he is descended from Bal Shem Tov?
interesting
Correction: He was a great-grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, not a grandson.
35:30 It is interesting you bring up this specific story! I just finished reading a book that just came out this year, The Heresies of Jacob Frank, and this very story of the 'rooster' came up in the book and it was that book which led me to this lecture. If you didn't know, that story actually originates in the brad strokes from the Collection of the Words of the Lord, which were mostly original stories by the heretical figure Jacob Frank. I'll quote the summary from the book here:
"In Frank's version of the tale, a merchant goes mad after his ship fails to come in, and begins acting like a rooster, running around naked and eating on the floor. A 'wise man' cures him by convincing the merchant that roosters can wear clothes, eat at table, and so forth. What would be madness, a wise man chatting naked with a lunatic, is in fact the skillful means of curing the lunatic of his lunacy. Frank's holy madness is pegagogy, because one must feign madness to communicate with the mad - namely, most people, who are still somehow entrapped by the sanity of religion [which Jacob Frank is critical of]."
The book talks a bit in one chapter about how Nachman described wanting to try to essentially repair the damage of the Sabbatean and Frankist heresies with mystical tikkun, to try to "sweeten their words" to "make words of Torah". It's a really delightful inversion of how Sabbateans said they were going to kelipot of other religions to free the sparks, now later a devout Jew is trying to do their own 'descent to the darkness' to recover some sparks by redeeming their heresies to restore Judaism rather than transform it. I also couldn't help but think of how romantic and chivalrous and all (in a literary sense) a lot of Collections of the Words of the Lord is too, lots of knights n nobles and princesses and towers n such. Perhaps a stylistic influence on Nachman?
Anyways, love the lecture as always : )
The joke about parking spot, few weeks ago I heard this exact joke but it was about atheist from christian origin. It was told by some christian tv pastor :D
I like the one about Hymie who is a devoted charedi Yid, who decides to go to Atlantic City. He shaves off his beard and payes, buys a sport coat and a pair of plaid slacks and gets on a bus all the way from Borough Park. He gets off the bus and needs to cross the street to.het to his hotel and lo and behold, he gets hit by a car! As he lies there, he says "Ribono shel olam! I've been your faithful servant all my life! Why would you do this to me??!" And Gd says "Hymie? Is that you?? I didn't recognise you!!"
Many things are borrowed from Christianity, so don't be surprised!!!😊
Great lecture, although it may not be counted as one of the 613, isn't "תַּ֗חַת אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹא־עָבַ֙דְתָּ֙ אֶת־יה אֱלךָ בְּשִׂמְחָ֖ה וּבְט֣וּב לֵבָ֑ב מֵרֹ֖ב כֹּֽל" alone a good reason to be always happy ??!
Toda Raba !!! 🤲🙏
The Na Nach mantra is based on the concept of the Nevel Asor, Hashem's 4-letter name, but read Yud, Yud Heh, Yud Heh Vav, Yud Heh Vav Heh, making 10 letters.
BTW, I think the Rebbe's story actually means, if you want to help to bring your brother or sister (העם הזה הוא משפחה) to HaMelech HaOlam, you have to be able and willing to communicate on whatever level it takes and then work your way up from there. The Christians say that Jesus spent much time with tax collectors, prostitutes and other sinners and I think the point there is the same that Rebbe Nachman is making so clearly.
Ba da bum bum ba... I'm Breslovin it!
Rebbe Nachman was the great grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, not the grandson.
I think I know the guy in thumbnail but books from him
I am not Jewish although I have been listening to 2 jews podcasts and found them great and it lead me to wanting to know if there are any Hasidic Jews in Florida. Are there any? Are they different from orthodox jews? I am in central florida- where do I go to become a jew? I think I'd like to be a Jew so long as its the "mystical" kind. I'm interested in self-growth first and then what I can do for my family and community
Look for a Chabad house near you. Should be plenty in FL

Kafka did not commit suicide. An interpreter of kafka Walter Benjamin did. You may have Kafka and Benjamin confused.
13:40 It's no wonder Elohim took his boys. This self meditation is ANTI-TORAH. Hashem CLEARLY states in Joshua 1;8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Not clear to me what you mean by "self-meditation." Hitbodedut? It's very well sourced.
Is it true that a lot of Jewish stand up comedies started as rabbis?
Would not surprise me. Jackie Mason was a rabbi!
Perhaps perfection is a comedian that becomes a Pulpit Rabbi. But don't ask Jackie Mason about that.

Snazzy intro screen.
Good lecture but terrible filming--should show what is on the screen.
Spend an hour in prayer sometime. God didn't say Jacob seek My Face in vain. Seek the first the kingdom of God. You have to spend time alone with God or you will be talking about God, not living in God. That's hisbodut. You have to spend enough time in reading and prayer as it takes to have a change of heart. On the issue of jokes. The Jews tell a lot of jokes because their lives are being threatened constantly,spoken and unspoken.
nice jock

Wrong. the Polish pronunciation for L'viv is lewow or 'levoof' in pronunciation
Only joking that's the perspective of the king !
I think the followers of Rabbi Nachman look very Muslim because of their beards and their type of head covering. Most Jews wear a smaller head covering. But I have read that the original Jewish head covering is that of Rabbi Nachman...
+Lobo Iberico I don't remember seeing any muslims with the head covering smiling :)))
Yehudi, the type of head covering you see on the title frame of this video is "Yerushalmi", meaning that it is worn by communities that were in Jerusalem before the State of Israel. These communities have a distinctive garb that combines Hassidic elements with Arab ones, in an effort to blend in more with their neighbors at that time, while still preserving their traditions. There is a Breslev community that predates the State of Israel in the Meah Shearim neighborhood, so many newer followers of Breslev imitate their dress.
Who is Reb Naftali of breslov .
Don’t know
Please rabbi I can’t find anyone who knows anything about the Tzadick reb Naftali I recently had the privilege of meeting rabbi Chaim Kramer in Miami unfortunately i asked the question to late
If you can do any research to share, discover and spread the truth that has stayed mysterious
@@HenryAbramsonPhD the reason I’m interested and intrigued with reb Naftali is it seems like he is skipped over or not being recognized in any way …. I think he wrote a Sefer and I would imagine it’s not as popular as Rebbe natan collective teaching of reb nachman but I think it’s worth a look
I dont get the joke could someone explain it to me please, thank u.
Leaving this for the wider internet.
A second chair that belonged to Rebbe Nachman was recently discovered by the Tamoikin Art Fund: czcams.com/video/_pB3GwCYFUU/video.html
Thank you so much for pointing to this amazing discovery.
about R. Levi Yitzack calling God to a beit din to answer for treatment of the Jewish people; wow! what intimate willingness to be perceived as blasphemous by the public to connect with God in such an unconventional manner! no one since Abraham or Moses or David or Elijah perhaps were that 'level'/'eye to eye' with the Presence of the Divine. and it makes sense in the sense that God cuts the covenants of the Tanakh in the format of near east legal proceedings of the times; just like the mythological imagery of the visions through which God incarnates, which pagans and Jews alike would readily understand (those well-versed in such matters in each culture, at any rate).
I think that every religion is supported by the pschichological needs. There are two of them. One is to belong and to be cared for. The second is to rule and to own. Preferably the whole world. In the name of some god of course :D

Nahman's advocate Yitzhak's "it's all good",
I find the oldest source for the "everything is for good" spirit in Shaul or Paul's letter to the Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." KJV.
He was a student of Gamaliel so he may have taught him that. I would be so grateful if you have the ancient source.
Should be more objective.
Professor Abramson, you have great channel. Are Chasidims, Ashkenazi Jews From Israel or they are Kazars who converted to Judaism? Many Chasidic sects spread large propaganda against state of Israel, as Lubavich, maybe because their state is Kazaria? Then, Breslov Chasidims are worshiping a human, idolatry,moving a center of Judaism for Rosh Hashanah in Uman, again Kazaria, Rebbe never visited Israel in his life!!!! I dont believe in Kazarian theory but many Hasidic Jews looks really like mongols!! So, are they Kazars, are they aware of it, their leaders, and why are then so much against Israel??
haha. :)
Hahahahah cute!!
