25 Adar 5770: According to the teaching of Rebbe Nachman, Whenever a person is within the moments of JOY, then there are no feelings to do wrong. The higher the greatness the stronger the test. Therefore, one who would practice JOY should be aware that the tests that follow will be stronger. Yet, Hashem does not give us a test that we cannot pass. Next week we study Shivron Lev. THANK YOU HASHEM

MORE SIMCHA {J O Y}

noreply@blogger.com (B. Yehuda) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:11:00 +0000

24 Adar 5770: Hitbodadot, Talking to Hashem on a daily basis brings us closer to Simcha (Ultimate Joy). Why is JOY so important? Hashem says to us, {Devarim 28:47} "Because you did not serve Hashem your Gd with JOY and with goodness of heart, out of an abundance of everything". JOY therefore is the key to serving Hashem, and Emunah flows from there. THANK YOU HASHEM!

SIMCHA {J O Y}

noreply@blogger.com (B. Yehuda) — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:18:00 +0000

23 Adar 5770: Had I known then what I know now I'd have entitled my post Besimcha, Emunah, Bitul instead. Thanks to my learning partner Rebbe Nachum of Teverya I have begun a serious research into SIMCHA (J O Y) and how it brings us to Emunah (Faith) which brings us to Bitul (Letting Go, Letting Hashem). I welcome all who wish to help me with my research to send a private e-mail to 8simcha8@gmail.com THANK YOU HASHEM

After we discuss Simcha we shall continue step by step with our Emunah Diet

Emunah Diet: STEP NINE

noreply@blogger.com (B. Yehuda) — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:14:00 +0000

22 Adar 5770: Step 9 of the Emunah Diet. Introducing Shivron Lev into your life. Rebbe Nachman teaches that a Broken Heart (Shivron Lev) brings one to simcha (J O Y) which then opens the doors wide open for emunah shelaimah (Complete and absolute faith) THANK YOU HASHEM!

~~~
I purposely quoted from Rebbe Nachmen that he felt that shivron lev brings one to ultimate JOY. However, since learning with my learning partner a few weeks ago about this method, we have started a serious research into JOY to see if we can find more tools other than shivron lev to get one to simcha. Soon I will post my findings on Simcha and how it takes us to Emunah. For now, the only source I found to reach the ultimate levels of simcha is through Shivron Lev as Rebbe Nachman points out. I am open to people feeding me sources for my research. Please read tomorrow's, 23 Adar post about my project and why I'm looking more and more into Simcha.
THANK YOU HASHEM

Bitul

noreply@blogger.com (B. Yehuda) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 10:40:00 +0000

20 Teves 5770: Bitul (Letting Go) with Emunah (faith) means that we let go of our fears and we let go and let Hashem. This allows us to stay away from Kochi Veutzim Yodi (everything is of MY doing) Letting go plus Faith equals to the process of knowing that everything is from Hashem the good drama and what we call the bad. Try it for ONE day. Let go and let Hashem, you will be greatly surprised by the outcome. THANK YOU HASHEM

The Lesson of Nituk

noreply@blogger.com (B. Yehuda) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:35:00 +0000

2 Kislev: The moment Nituk happens the pain and loss of emunah happens at the same moment. As we imagine the TIKUN the nituk can bring, this enables us to LEAN ON emunah like a good friend who is there for you no matter what. Lean on emunah, have faith in Hashem that these moments of nituk will pass, and it is a test until the TIKUN arrives. THANK YOU HASHEM

Growing from Nituk to Tikun

noreply@blogger.com (B. Yehuda) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:33:00 +0000

18 MarCheshvon: When Nituk (separation, abandonment) is at its highest strength and you can feel the pressure or the loss. You then let go, free fall, and watch as Hashem is mashlaym (completes) the process from Nituk to Tikun (fix). This moment is breathtaking as you realize that the Nituk was really a tikun all along... THANK YOU HASHEM

Nituk & Tikun

noreply@blogger.com (B. Yehuda) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:31:00 +0000

10 MarChecshvan: Nituk and Tikun are interchangeable words. Nituk means cut off or separated and Tikun means to fix. When HASHEM seems to send us messages of NITUK we must have emunah that it is in itself a TIKUN. This may not be EASY to accomplish, However, with work on our emunah we can see the TIKUN and be grateful to Hashem

Getting closer

noreply@blogger.com (B. Yehuda) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:46:00 +0000

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha 5 MarCheshvan: There will be days where obstacles are placed before you and you may think that Hashem is hiding from you or not on your side that day (god forbid). Just the opposite is true. It is a moment that will test your emunah to see if you really believe that everything is from Hashem and all is good. When you want a ball to go farther you pull your hand back first then release. Same concept. NEVER lose faith!

A Leap of FAITH

noreply@blogger.com (B. Yehuda) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:50:00 +0000

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
Rosh Chodesh MarCheshvan: It takes a leap of faith to stay focused in faith. Working on keeping the faith, is having faith when things don't go so well. Take the leap of faith and let go and let Hashem. He's never wrong, we just don't understand his ways. Begin this month anew by taking a leap toward faith, trust and with joy. THANK YOU HASHEM
