The Teachings of Reb Nosson of Breslov with Rav Shlomo Katz

Rav Shlomo Katz teaches a short Likutei Tefillos from Reb Nosson of Breslov on the barriers (meniyot) that confront anyone trying to reach, or truly live in Eretz Yisrael. Against the backdrop of Asara B’Tevet and Reb Nosson’s yahrzeit, we sing the Breslov nigun of a “fire burning in my heart,” explore the Chasam Sofer’s view of this day as a Yom HaDin shel Geulah, and learn how to ask Hashem to open the gates: to rely on the merit of tzaddikim who already broke through, to come as an undeserved gift (matnas chinam), and to keep making inner aliyah—step by step—until we can quite literally kiss the dust of the Land. A heartfelt guide for turning longing into prayer and obstacles into openings.
