The Teachings of Reb Nosson of Breslov with Rav Shlomo Katz

Recorded live in Tekoa on the 178th yahrzeit of Reb Nosson of Breslov.

Rav Shlomo Katz reflects on Reb Nosson’s lifelong courage to walk the narrow bridge of Emes — truth. Drawing from Reb Nosson’s writings and tefillos, the shiur explores what it means to live with honesty before Hashem, to pray from within confusion, and to keep moving even when we feel small or uncertain.

Through stories of Reb Nosson’s break from his earlier path, his devotion to Rebbe Nachman, and his teaching that the bridge of life itself is called Emes, Rav Shlomo shows how hitbodedus, emunah, and Azamra become tools for staying real and connected in a complicated world.
The evening closes with niggunim and heartfelt tefillah inspired by Reb Nosson’s own words:

“To be brave enough to walk the bridge of truth, even when it shakes.”
