CLICK HERE TO ORDER The Breslov Research Institute joins the mourning family of Sarah Gelbach, who passed away last Monday at the age of 101. Sarah was probably the last survivor of pre-war Uman. She grew up knowing many of the leaders of the Breslov movement in Uman and survived WWII in Stalingrad, where she herself had to bury her father in 1943. She is survived by a most beautiful family of hundreds of offspring, including children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. May her memory be blessed, as she was an inspiration to us all. A short comment from my wife about her on Monday after the Levaya: "Just went to a levaya of an amazing woman I knew (101 years old), Sarah Gelbach, descendant of Rabbeinu ZaL, whom EVERYONE EVERYONE EVERYONE loved and admired and respected (my daughter-in-law Racheli's grandmother). She had NO hesped (eulogy), because no one would have been able to stop singing her praises... What a thing to aspire to be like her..." Ohr Avrohom Shul Expansion Each helped his neighbor; to his brother he said, "Strengthen yourself!" (Isaiah 41:6) We have deep HaKaras HaTov (gratitude) for the Breslover Shul here in Jerusalem, called Ohr Avraham, which is named after Rabbi Avraham Sternhartz Z"l. I davened there for many years. They are currently working to expand the shul. I'd like to personally ask you to please take part and help them grow. There is a great need for more space for people to daven there and get close to HaShem. Thank you so much, Chaim Kramer CLICK HERE TO TAKE PART IN THIS BIG MITZVAH BRI PARSHAH TIDBITS Although the following Torah thought from Reb Ephraim'l, author of Oneg Shabbos, is well known, it is important to repeat and internalize its message, for it is our only hope. The initials of our parsha, Balak, form an acronym for ב'ינו ל'בינו ק'ונו, which means "between us and our Creator." Hidden here is the profound secret of hitbodedut (personal prayer). Set aside time to be alone, to speak with Hashem in your own simple language. Only through this can we be saved from the pitfalls of this crazy world and reach the highest levels. Bilaam knew this secret and also tried to go alone, as the Torah states, "And he went alone," which Targum translates as "by himself." However, he tried to cause what Rebbe Nachman writes in Sefer HaMidot, "Through improper hitbodedut, one comes to anger." He wanted Hashem to be angry with the Jewish people and destroy them. Yet, Chazal teaches us that during those days, Hashem did not get angry at all. Now, we must strengthen ourselves in this great trait and ask and plead with Hashem that we merit to engage in hitbodedut every day and remember our eternal purpose. Shabbat Shalom!
