We've been away from Xephula for a while, but we're back! I hope you will join us in the worship of the God of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya'akov, the One God. Now that we've been banned on Facebook and Twitter for telling the truth and rejecting their forced spyware, we have time to focus more on our other servers. We'll be sharing our YouTube videos here as well as original writings and occasional news stories. Please comment, ask questions, etc. For more information visit our synagogue website: https://beitemunah.org. #judaism #breslov #nanach #torah #beitemunah

The PEW Research on American Jews. In a nutshell, we're in trouble! Judaism is dying in the United States. Reform and Conservative are destroying themselves through assimilation and Globalism. Only Chabad is growing. The vast majority of Jews in the US are Democrats. A majority of Orthodox Jews in the US are Republicans. There are no real surprises in the 2020 PEW finding but the results are nonetheless very disturbing. Looking for a balanced, non-judgemental, traditional Chassidic (Breslov) shul that is online and welcoming of all Jews regardless of movement as well as B'nai Noachim and sincere seekers of G-d?

Tikkun HaKlali The Universal Remedy Presented by Rabbi Shlomo Nachman © April 7, 2020 http://learnemunah.com/chassidut/tikkunhaklali.html Our holy teacher, great grandson of the BESHT (the Baal Shem Tov of Blessed Memory), Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810) has revealed the Tikkun HaKlali, the Universal Remedy for the world's ills. He has assured us that one who recites these ten Tehillim (Psalms) with emunah (active faith) and righteous kavanah (intention) will be delivered from their sins, will be restored to wholeness according to the Divine Wisdom. Reciting these Tehillim will repair whatever is broken, even the most serious fractures, and will open the Way to teshuvah (repentance). Tikkun HaKlali is therefore the most important weapon in ones arsenal of Tikkun Olam, bringing wholeness and shalom to oneself, ones family, ones community, and the world at large. Rebbe Nachman of blessed memory first revealed this method of spiritual rectification to his talmidim (disciples) in 1805 to help them overcome nocturnal emissions. In time this important teaching was expanded and the specific Psalms of the Tikkun HaKlali were revealed. He explained: The reason one must recite ten chapters is because there are ten types of melodies which correspond to the ten modes in which the Book of Psalms was composed, as brought (Pesachim 117a; Zohar III, 101a), which are Ashrei, Beracha, Maskil, Nitzuach, Shir, Niggun, Mizmor, Tefilla, Hoda'ah, and Halleluyah (see Rashi Psalm 1:1). Each one of these ten modes has the power to cancel the power of the kilipa (i.e. forces of negativity), for each one of these modes is the opposite of the kilipa [and hence counters its effect]. One who desires tikkun or rectification is therefore encouraged to recite and/or hear these Psalms. One also does well to study the precise meanings of the above listed melodies and what they counter. For example, the Rebbe explains that ashrei is the root of looking and focussing. Ashrei therefore counters the kilipa's power to damage sight, as in the verse "[Isaac's] eyes became dim MeyRot [from seeing]" (Genesis 27:1). This, he explains, corresponds with "Let there be M'AoEoT [luminaries]" (ibid 1:14). Note the missing vowels here. This signifies, in its written form, m'ayrat, or a "curse." Of this connection our sages tells us, "This refers to Lilith (see Tikkuney Zohar 44). In other words, the main power of Lilith arises from the kilipa attacking sight whereas ashrei, meaning sight, counters it's negative influences. Rebbe Nachman explains this at some depth in Likutey Moharan lesson 205. Rebbe Nachman declared: Know that the ten Psalms which a person must recite on the very same day as he has an impure experience, God forbid, are: 16, 32, 41, 42, 59, 77, 90, 105, 137, 150. These ten Psalms are a very great remedy for [all problems]. One who is worthy of saying them on the same day need have no more fear ... because [the matter] has indubitably been corrected by this remedy without any doubt (Likutey Moharan II, 92).

I hereby bind myself to all the true tzaddikim of our generation, and all true tzaddikim who rest in the dust, “holy ones who are interred in the earth” (Tehillim 16:3), and in particular our holy master, the “flowing brook, source of wisdom” (Mishlei 18:4), Rabbi Nachman ben Feige; may their merits shield us, Amein. Our G-D and G-d of our fathers: Who chooses King David and his descendants; who chooses songs and praises. Please turn to me in mercy and accept the Psalms I am going to say as if King David himself were saying them, and let his merit protect us. There is merit in every verse of the Psalms and in every word, in their letters, vowels and notes and in all the holy names spelled out by the first and last letters of each Hebrew word. Let this merit stand in our favor to atone for our sins and transgressions, cut down our enemies and accusers on High, and destroy all the thorns and thistles surrounding the Supernal Rose. Send down blessing from Your exalted place to all the levels of our soul and spirit, to purify us from our sins, forgive our transgressions and atone for our rebellion, just as You forgave King David who recited these psalms before You. “And G-D will cause your sin to pass away and you will not die” (Samuel II 12:13). Do not take us from this world before our time. Give us a full life throughout our span of seventy years so that we can make amends for all the wrong we have done. May the merit of King David protect us, and be patient with us until we return to You in perfect repentance. Grant us blessing from Your treasury of open-handed generosity, as it is written: “I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy” (Exodus 33:19). Just as we sing before You in this world, grant us the privilege of singing before You, G-D, in the World to Come. Through our recital of the psalms, let pleasant song break forth with rejoicing and exultation. Let glory be given to Israel; and splendor and beauty shall be in the House of G-D. Bring it speedily in our days, Amen. [from Breslov.co.il] https://tikkunhaklaliapp.com/
