He’s the guy with no feet, who actually equates to ‘Moshiach’, in Rabbenu’s Tale of the Seven Beggars. I was discussing the Rav’s latest comments with my husband yesterday, when I suddenly got more insight into what the Rav may be hinting at. Here’s the relevant passage again (but honestly, it’s all relevant): Rabbi Shimon […]
Shiur from motzae Shabbat Korach, June 13, 2026 Whoever draws close to Rabbenu (Rebbe Nachman of Breslov) is not to be found, at all, in this world.

Shiur given on Parshat Beha’alotecha, 5786 Korach came back to his home without his payot. Where did Korach’s payot disappear to?! Who took Koracha’s payot?! His wife asked him: Where are your payot?![1] Maybe, did you forget them in the mikvah? Maybe, he took them off in the mikvah, so that there wouldn’t be a […]
I was looking at a different site, when I got to a different image of that famous ‘rocket’ from 2 days ago. You can see the second image HERE – I don’t want to put it up because I don’t want issues with copyright. Compare that second image, with the first one on the YWN, […]
Well, this is getting more and more interesting. First, let’s go back to the Rav’s comments from last week, which you can read HERE.
