In this shiur in Rav Kluger Shlita's sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, we clarify that the consciousness of "Hineni" is an extremely high level, and that it is entirely possible that one will only be able to access this way of thinking infrequently. Still, those isolated moments have a deep impact on all of our other hisbodedus sessions and how we experience life. We also discuss the depth of Uman Rosh HaShana and the importance of showing up for Rebbe Nachman's inyan, beyond our own personal considerations.

In this shiur in Rav Kluger Shlita's sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, we continue discussing the consciousness of "Hineini, exploring the trajectory of people who begin studying the deeper works for personal motives and are then given access to Rebbe Nachman's consciousness of "bittul" - unlocking a whole other level of their relationship with Hashem.

In this shiur in Rav Kluger Shlita's sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, we continue discussing the consciousness of "Hineini", exploring the way in which an attitude of Bittul and Bitachon enables us to navigate the ups and downs of life with equanimity, flexibility and acceptance.

In this shiur, we continue our journey through sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, continuing our discussion of "avdech aben amasecha", a consciousness of devoting ourselves with Hashem's "Needs" and using Hisbodedus as an opportunity to align our will with His, gaining brilliant clarity into why we do what we do.

In this shiur, we continue our journey through sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, concluding our discussion about the inner and outer levels of a relationship and the way the external aspects fall away in a moment of true intimacy. We begin a new essay on the topic of "selfless receiving", the capacity for a recipient to catylise the giver not for his own purposes, but for the purposes of the giver. In this context we explain the difference between Yetziyas Mitzrayim and the final redemption.

In this shiur, we continue our journey through sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, exploring the way a tzaddik sees his student, looking past the external layers and identifying the inner spark of essence within. We speak about self-compassion and "standing in our own shoes" to see ourselves with a more elevated and evolved perspective.

In this shiur, we continue our journey through sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, exploring the possibility of connecting to the unconditional Presence of Hashem from the unconditional spark of holiness within, looking past the "teva" to discover the Godly Essence of reality.   Music Credit: "Mevakshei Hashem" by Joey Newcomb From the album Thank You Hashem Healing Melodies #1 All rights reserved to Joey Newcomb and Thank You Hashem Music.

In this shiur, we continue our journey through sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, exploring the implications of getting in touch with our deepest, truest identity - the values for which we would happily give up our lives - including living with a sense of calm regardless of the stormy waves on the surface, and the ability to love every Jew and every single human being by connecting the core of their identity beyond the differences on the surface.   Music Credit: "Mevakshei Hashem" by Joey Newcomb From the album Thank You Hashem Healing Melodies #1 All rights reserved to Joey Newcomb and Thank You Hashem Music.

In this shiur, we continue our journey through sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, exploring the dangers of limiting ourselves by the results of personality tests like graphology, horoscopes, palm reading and the like - recognising that we can always shatter whatever label we have placed, or have had placed, on ourselves, breaking out of Egypt and rising to the revelation at Sinai.

In this shiur, we continue our journey through sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, exploring the way our connection to Hashem runs through the mitzvos encoded into our essence, and the ability to build a relationship even with those who look, act, and think differently than us.

In this shiur, we continue our journey through sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, exploring what it means to put external aspects of a relationship in proportion, as well as the importance of maintaining our own sense of self within the context of relationship.

In this shiur, we begin a new chapter in sefer Yichud HaHisbodedus, exploring the difference between a relationship of "chitzoniyus" and a relationship of "penimiyus" - between ourselves and other humans, and each of us and Hashem.
