Chok L’Yisrael is a collection of Torah teachings for daily study. Each day starts with a portion of the weekly Torah reading with Targum and Rashi. Added to this are passages from the Books of the Prophets, the Books of Writings, the Mishnah, Talmud, Zohar, halakhah and mussar. The Kitzur Shulchan Arukh (27:3) states, “Fortunate is he who has a set study regimen in the Chok L’Yisrael every single day.” Based on this, we conceived the idea of creating a similar publication wherein a person could study Rebbe Nachman and Breslov teachings on a daily basis, completing entire books in the course of a year. Rebbe Nachman spoke highly of the greatness of maintaining a regular Torah study schedule. He taught, “Maintaining a Torah study regimen is greater even than fulfilling all the mitzvot” (The Aleph-Bet Book, Torah Study A:33). The fact that a person establishes a routine to study book after book enables him to amass a wonderful spiritual treasure that purifies him and gives him hope and salvation. This is as the Rebbe also taught, “Every bit of Torah knowledge a person gains … is already considered success for the soul!” (ibid. A:10). But the goal of studying from many books each day is accomplished by very few. Hence, the idea for “the one that contains the many”: a volume that divides the material so that all the books can be studied and completed in a yearly cycle. After careful thought, we have chosen ten key Breslov books (described below). Our Sages taught, “If you take too much, you will not attain; take a little and you’ll gain” (Yoma 80a). We selected works that are not overwhelming for a daily dose, but are interesting and engaging so that the reader will gain something every day. viii PUBLISHER'S PREFACE PUBLISHER'S PREFACE ix Obviously, it’s not possible to apportion an equal amount of space for in 1798-99. “His Conversations” presents Rebbe Nachman’s everyday each day’s teachings—no one wants to be left in the middle of a sentence! conversations and fundamental teachings on everything from faith, We did our best to keep things moving, ending at the point where the next joy and meditation to Kabbalistic insights. These conversations were day’s teaching will flow with the previous day’s lesson. But even then it recorded verbatim by his leading disciple, Reb Noson, producing a vivid wasn’t always possible, so we broke where we thought fit and continued picture of the atmosphere surrounding the Rebbe, his wit, directness on to the next day. The two shortest books, Restore My Soul and Outpouring and wisdom. of the Soul, alternate in the same slot during the year. Reb Noson’s Letters, the longest work in this collection, can be completed in a two-year cycle. The Aleph - Bet Book Our Sages taught, “After a person passes away, the Heavenly tribunal Translated by Moshe Mykoff will ask him six questions, the second of which is ‘Kavata itim laTorah? Did Throughout his life, Rebbe Nachman penned succinct, powerful and you set time every day to study Torah?’” The word kavata means “set,” but challenging epigrams distilling the wisdom of the Torah for every area it can also mean “steal.” Rebbe Nachman explains that just as you have of life, spiritual and physical. In his Sefer HaMidot, he organized these to set a time to study, you should also try every day to “steal” some time epigrams by subject following the order of the Hebrew alphabet. Calling from your busy schedule in order to study Torah. This volume enables you his collection “my dearly beloved friend,” the Rebbe used these epigrams to both “set time” and “steal time” to maintain a daily learning schedule. to inspire himself along the path that led him to greatness. Here are the books featured in Day By Day and some information about them.

This handbook Elul 5777 / September 2017 of the Rebbe’s teachings on prayer is translated from Hishtapkhut HaNefesh by Reb Alter Tepliker. The Collected Letters of Reb Noson Translated by Yaakov Gabel Edited by Moshe Schorr Reb Noson wrote hundreds of letters to his friends and family, filled with inspiration for putting Rebbe Nachman’s teachings of joy and fortitude into daily practice. Translated from Alim LiTerufah (literally, “Healing Leaves”), these letters pulsate with the mind and energy of Rebbe Nachman and his advice for all situations. Shemot HaTzaddikim (Names of the Tzaddikim) Reb Noson compiled the names of the righteous found in the Bible, Talmud, Midrash and Zohar, as well as the names of many later tzaddikim. Rebbe Nachman and Reb Noson describe how the recital of these names arouses powerful spiritual forces. Reb Noson stated that he merited visiting the Holy Land because of these names. 3 ירשת א ירשת א • TISHREY 1 Tzaddik His Life • 1 (104).

Breslov (also Bratslav, also spelled Breslev) is a branch of Hasidic Judaism founded by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772–1810) a great-grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, founder of Hasidism. Its adherents strive to develop an intense, joyous relationship with God and receive guidance toward this goal from the teachings of Rebbe Nachman. The movement has had no central, living leader for the past 200 years, as Rebbe Nachman did not designate a successor. As such, they are sometimes referred to as the טויטע חסידיו (the "Dead Hasidim"), since they have never had another formal Rebbe since Nachman's death. However, certain groups and communities under the Breslov banner refer to their leaders as "Rebbe". The movement weathered strong opposition from virtually all other Hasidic movements in Ukraine throughout the nineteenth century, yet at the same time experienced tremendous growth in numbers of followers from Ukraine, White Russia, Lithuania and Poland.

Thousands of Hasidim were imprisoned or murdered during the Great Purge of the 1930s, and killed by Nazis who invaded Ukraine in 1941. The movement was regenerated in the United Kingdom, United States, and Israel by those who escaped, with large numbers of Yemenite Jews and other Mizrahim joining the sect.
