Nanach for The Nations
Nanach for the Nations
It is my personal belief, that nanach has much to offer the whole world. Jew, gentile and noahide alike. I want to bring it to the world. This is the goal of this blog. While I believe nanach is for the whole world, Jew and gentile alike, I believe
simply being a noahide is not a end in itself.. We should not simply just be happy with were we are spirtually, but strive constantly to reach higher levels. Rebbe Nachman even pleas to hashem "To merit to be a real Jew", this should be all our goals. As noahides gentiles, or if you don't like those terms, simply nanachs... We should constantly strive for higher levels spiritually. Never being satisfied with were we are. May we all merit to be Jews, and more then that, tzaddiks! Because after all it is the heart G-d wants. nn!

Depend on G-d completely
It is very good to rely on G-d completely. As each day begins I place every moment, and that of my children and dependents in G-ds hands, asking that everything goes as G-d would want it. This is very good and I have no worries. whether or not thing go well, I am completely reliant on G-d. Whatever He desires I have already asked that I only do His will.
Before each Shabbat or Festival, I also place my observance in G-ds hands. Asking that it all would be as He wish. I can then celebrate it without worrying that I am perhaps not doing something properly. I am completely reliant on G-d, and everything is in His hands.
-Rebbe Nachman's Wisdom-
So here we have a perfect teaching for all people. Rebbe Nachman here teaches how to live our lives according to G-ds will. And how to know that we are doing just that. And not worry about anything. This here is a very very simple practive and anyone I mean ANYONE can do this, and it could be done really in less then a minute. Simply go before G-d with a heart full and abounding in love and gratefulness and humility and simply pray that every moment of your day and every moment of your childrnes day and those that depend on you in anyway be in keeping with G-ds will.
That's it! It's that simple! Pray and know from that point on that you need to worry about nothing, and if something comes up only remember that is G-ds will. And G-d wants the best for us, So even if it seems tough we need not worry because we know we already asked that all things be in his will.
This is a practice that not only can but should be done everyday. And by doing so one can bring great peace into his life, and alleviate all his worries....
This is another one of Rebbe Nachmans simple but universal teachings that is a taste of the world to come.

Attachment to the tzaddik
It is very good to
attach yourself to a true Tzaddik. In the upheavals at the time of the coming of
the Mashiach, God will "grasp the ends of the earth and shake the wicked from
it" (Job 38:13) . But one who is attached to a true Tzaddik will be able to
cling to him so as not to be cast off with the wicked. By holding onto the
Tzaddik he will remain firm.
Sichot
Haran #22
In this post, I would like to discuss attachment to the tzaddik. What is a tzaddik? Try this link click here. Also you can use google. Google is your best friend lol. No, but seriously it helps alot! In short, a tzaddik means rghteous one. As the quote above says, so we should do.. attach yourself to a true tzaddik and remain firm and by the merit of the tzaddik, you will remain. So which tzaddik? How do you attach yourself to the tzaddik?
Rebbe Nachman of breslov! And Saba Yisroel the voice of Rebbe Nachman in this generation!
Why Rebbe Nachman of Breslov? Because inside the books of Rebbe nachman lies the Redemption!!!!!!!!! How do I know this? Cause I live it! His words refresh the soul. They teach us all things, and give our souls the Redemption longed for...
The thing is, this blog is designed to speak to the non Jew, to the noahides, or non Jew nanachs of the world. That they too can draw close to the true tzaddik, and gain redmeption through attachment to the tzaddik.
The first thing one must do is homework, read everything on Rebbe Nachman and Saba Yisroel you can find.
Next, know and believe in the petek (the letter from heaven) and recite Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman constantly, Never stop! Say it, sing it, shout it, meditate on it, breathe it, sleep it, Become it!!!!
Next.. study and read all of Rebbe Nachmans books and Sabas words.
Saba tells us how do we draw close to the true tzaddik? By reading his words and fulfilling them!!
Thats really it... it is that simple.
The most important thing is attachment to the tzaddik! You become so attached to the tzaddik, you know longer identify as seperate! The goal is to become the tzaddik (being so attached spiritually) you are no longer seperate from the tzaddik!
This is a clip from wikipedia;
"I am Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman!"
A few days before his death at the age of 106, Rabbi Odesser recorded these words on tape:[1]All the world, and the whole government, do not know who I am! Behold, I inform them who I am! I am Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman!
Who is the Rebbe of the whole world? Rebbe Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman!
I am Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman!His detractors thought he had gone senile and was literally claiming to be Nachman of Breslov, who is buried in Uman, Ukraine. Others say he was speaking of his total identification with the name Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman and with Rebbe Nachman. Still others say he had become a "spiritual emanation" of the soul of Rebbe Nachman.
Now persoally I lean towards the last two statements.. But really it us up to you to decide... Either way....
recite Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman constantly, Never stop! Say it, sing it, shout it, meditate on it, breathe it, sleep it, Become it!!!!

True Relegion
(You said
that your mother would give you for school a drop of oil on bread?) Yes. Yes.
With a few drops. So I asked for a few more drops. So she told me, “What?” she
screamed at me, “I need the oil for Sabbath. Do not speak at all, that's
enough!” Afterwards I went and gave the bread with the drops of oil; I gave it
to a poor man. There was in Tiberius a couple, an elder man and elder lady, and
he would go begging. So I wanted to do charity and kindness, I took the bread, I
didn't have money, I took the bread which my mother gave me and I went to the
old man, this Jew, and I gave it to him. His name was Yosef Noach, that was his
name, for I remember till this day his name, Yosef Noach, two names. This was
after Succos and after the (weekly Torah portion of) Biraishes came the weekly
portion Noach, and on Sunday I went and joyously gave him the bread with the
drops of olive oil, I thought that I did great charity, he and his wife would
eat, yes.
I went to
school, and I didn't have what to eat, because I had given away the bread' yes.
So I got a bad headache, I needed to eat but I didn't have. So my teacher, his
practice was that on Sunday he would tell the students “This weeks Torah Portion
is Noach”. Yes, he would repeat this many times in order that they should know
that this week is the Torah Portion Noach. He looked at all the students, and he
detected that I was not listening at all, as if I wasn't in school, I don't hear
at all, and do not know what-so-ever. So he left me, and then he called upon me,
“Yisroel Ber! Tell which Torah portion is this week.” And I didn't know and
didn't hear, just my head hurt me, that's all I knew, and I didn't hear at all
what he said! Nu Nu … he hit me with cruelty, “What's this?! I said many times
that this week’s Torah portion is Noach, where were you?! You do not listen?!
What is this?! Where were you?! I give out my throat for nothing?!” He hit me,
and I was embarrassed in front of all the students. He wanted them all to see
and be afraid. The shame is impossible to describe, he hit me so much with
cruelty. (How old were you?) little. (5, 6?) yes, approximately. Beginning to
learn the Chumash (five books of Moses), the portion Noach. I said from now on I
will no longer give away the bread, if I give away the bread I will receive a
beating, I will not give and I will not receive blows, and I will know that the
weekly Torah portion is the portion Noach. Even still, I gave the bread another
time to this pauper/ This was by me all
of Judaism. All that I heard about spirituality, about faith, about the Torah,
was with me - I received new knowledge which hadn't appeared before, I
didn't know from H”Y, from the Torah. I hear that there is the Torah and H”Y, so
there was with me great happiness... I was the worst of all the children, the
worst. I was born into poverty and I was also a weak child. Yes, I have miracles
that I am alive, that I was able to live.... He wanted to know which children
were good and which children were not good, so he suddenly left me, passed over,
he asked this child, “Say which Torah portion it is this week.” But when he knew
which portion, “Portion of Noach” ho ho, then he was already a good child, but
there were children that didn't remember, it needed time that they could remind
themselves, “portion of Noach”; suddenly he came upon me, “what is the weekly
Torah portion?” I didn't know anything' as if I wasn't in this world, yes, in a
different court, nu, he is expectant, he is waiting, he is expectant, maybe I
will remember... I? “what is this” doesn't know anything, Noach, Noach? So he –
he waited and waited for an answer and there is no answer, does not know. So he
asks me, “Where were you? You were not here at all, where? In what world
were you? What is this? You don't know? I speak and I give all my strength and
you do not listen?” So he was very angry with me, and he hit me cruel blows. He
hit me, “What is this? I speak just like that for nothing? And you do not
listen? I speak and you do not know even the portion? Yes, do not know one word.
“Where were you?!” Even still I saw that I need the bread, for I receive a
beating, and such a beating! I suffered from the beating, and also I was
embarrassed, I was humiliated before the children.... He didn't hit even one
other, just Yisroel Ber! (And the demeaning started from then!), the disgrace
was more, more painful than the beating.
I
tell all of this, so that we know how much H”Y loves simple wholesomeness. I
wasn't an intellectual just the wholesomeness of the heart, I very much loved
the Torah and the commandments and the faith and fear of Heaven, and when
I saw someone learning, or he was simple/wholesome and was reciting Psalms, then
I thought, ah – this man he is thinking of the true purpose, fortunate is this
man, he is busy with Psalms and he studies!
You see my friends, This is true religion... True Judaism.... Simplicity! Kindness! And Fear of Heaven...This my friends... anyone can do... and is the most important in G-ds eyes. Remember He wants or hearts!
nanach!

G-d Wants The Heart!
“G-d wants the heart,” the main point is the heart! Rabbeinu
said: “Give me your hearts, and I will lead you on a new path.” Your hearts –
the heart. And also, if a person searches for truth, he will find it!"
-Saba Yisroel -
Be whole hearted with the Lord thy G-d! Your life has a two fold aspect- what happens to you and what comes from you, what you recieve and what you produce, your lot and your actions. With both and with every fraction of both you must feel yourself immedietly under G-d. Your lot proceeds directly from G-d. So live your life directly for G-d-and wholly. G-d causes you to be born at such a time, such a place, of such parents, in such enviroment; He brings you into contact with such and such men, gives you such friends, such teachers, equips you with such faculties both of body and of mind, places you in such a position in life. He gives you all this as the means with which to carry out His will. Everything which falls to you you should fulfill with all that has fallen to your lot. 'Should' not 'must' for whether you will really fulfill it depends entirely on yourself. As the sages say: "Everything is in the hands of G-d except the fear of G-d", Everything is G-ds only the heart is yours.-Samson Raphael Hirsch-
You see everything depends on the heart! Everthing! Whatever sitiuation you were born into poor or rich, good or bad, Jew or non Jew, G-d himself placed you there. To serve his purposes? what that is, you must pray to G-d and review your life and ask him the purpose you are to fulfill. So we learn from this, however the reason G-d wants the heart, is because it is the only thing you are free to give.. You see if G-d made a Jew a Jew and a non Jew a non Jew, the Jew sure can rejoice in being made a Jew, but he has done nothing to be a Jew it is what G-d has given him... You see this is why G-d wants the heart! Because that is the only thing he gave you as yours to give everything else was freely given you whatever your situation.
So you see whether Jew or Gentile or Noahide or even Nanach! It is your heart God wants! And this is above all service!!!!
The Goal of this Site/General Introduction to this site.
"And upon you I said my fire will burn until Messiah is coming be strong and courageous in your devotion Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman"...
-The Petek-
Ok so the goal of this site as stated in my sub title is to bring nanach to the world. How do I intend to do this? Well I plan to right many lessons on here based from the teachings of nanach. And how they apply to the everyday non Jew.
To provide links to connect to all nanachs sites, for information, music, clothes, videos etc...
If anyone has questions to anything at all I post, or simply just a question. You can email me here aninanachman@gmail.com And I will be glad to answer any questions. Anything I do not have answer to I can get the one you need.
Also I would like to state here my view of simply being a noahide/ or nanach noahide.... Simply it is a wonderful thing. It is the heart the God wants. While I believe nanach is for the whole world, Jew and gentile alike, I believe simply being a noahide is not a end in itself.. We should not simply just be happy with were we are spirtually, but strive constantly to reach higher levels. Rebbe Nachman even pleas to hashem "To merit to be a real Jew", this should be all our goals. As noahides gentiles, or if you don't like those terms, simply nanachs...
God be with us all...
blessing of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman.
