Tefillin Breslov

Rabbi Natan (1780-1844). An outstanding disciple of Rabbi Nachman of Breslev, he was praised by his teacher for having the ability to explain the most profound Torah teachings even to young children. In this brilliant speech, Rabbi Natan discusses the profound meaning of virtually every aspect of Tefillin: the Torah portions, the capsules, the straps, the knots, the Tefillin of Rashi and Rabbeinu Tam, etc. Taking Rebbe Nachman of Breslev's tale of the Blind Beggar as his starting point, Rabbi Natan introduces us step by step to the fundamental principles of Kabbalah, showing how Tefillin are truly an affirmation of invincible vitality and renewal.

Chasidism teaches that the external practices of Judaism are the "body", in this discourse on Tefillin Rabbi Natan reveals the soul itself.
