The second and final part of this awesome shiur. You can read Part 1 HERE. For me, it’s been very enlightening to understand just how ‘dead’ Breslov chassidut really was, until R Berland came and blew new life into it. Ashrenu, that we have a Rav like this in our generation.

Evidence the ‘Badd Rebbes descend from Kohanim

Thanks to commentator Yosef I went back to the Rebbes family tree, to try to pin it down more. After someone puts so much effort into trying to clear up this information, I thought it’s the least I can do to revisit it, and see if Yosef’s…
