Likutei Moharan – The Poems

Everything that exists is continuously created by a combination of letters that creates a song. My poems are the songs from the lessons of Rebbe Nachman!

There are many levels where one may study the Likutey Moharan of Rebbe Nachman. Like the Torah, there are obvious lessons, and then layer upon layer of deeper lessons. Rebbe Nachman starts with a statement, and then drawing from many sources, gives an explanation and a proof.  As one goes deeper, you can begin to see connections between the lesson, proofs, and other holy sources.  Traveling ever deeper, one will be astonished to find that the lessons are not individual teachings, but rather pieces of a greater whole. The lessons start out as Chochma (wisdom), then you move to Binah (understanding), and in a flash Daat (knowledge) is revealed.  This revelation is not a result of one's intelligence, holiness, or study; but rather an undeserved gift directly from Heaven.

Rebbe Nachman frequently teaches about "The Universal Remedy", which when recited can heal physical, mental, and spiritual problems.  The psalms in his remedy are words strung together to form songs.  When I first began to study his holy lessons in Likutey Moharan, I began to learn that each lesson was a song that could be encapsulated in the rhymes of my poems. I hope that by studying Likutey Moharan with my poems, that you will gain a deeper understanding of the holiness, wisdom and genius of Rebbe Nachman.

And when you are lost or saddened in your heart, just read a single verse and the clouds will part. Like the harp of David, words arrive on a breeze creating barrier to evil one so your soul cannot seize And when I am gone my poems will still remain so anyone that hears them will find relief from pain.

"Give thanks for what you have, and desire nothing more!"

When you are confused, sad, troubled, or feel like you have lost faith; open up my book and read a poem.  Look for the happy and joyful points contained within, and G-d willing you will feel better. Life is a narrow bridge that you must cross, made easier by singing a little song, or reading a Likutey Moharan poem during your journey!
