Commentary on Sichos Haran from the Classes of Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Rosenfeld

Starting what would be the final series of shiurim in his illustrious 30-year teaching career, Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Rosenfeld made a statement that explained why he had dedicated his life to bringing Rebbe Nachman’s wisdom to American shores. Addressing his audience in a Brighton Beach, New York, synagogue, he said: ...Right now it’s nighttime. It is nighttime—I don’t think anybody will contest that fact. We say it is nighttime, we see it is nighttime, we believe it is nighttime. But I state honestly, truthfully ...that I believe much more that Rabbeinu zal is the tzaddik emes than I believe that it is nighttime now. I am much more positive of that. And that is just the beginning, touching the surface of faith. We must strive for a much stronger faith than that, too. Let’s hope that through this study of Rabbeinu zal’s writings, we will achieve this true degree of faith. Rabbi Rosenfeld went on to deliver a masterful series of shiurim on Sichos HaRan (Rebbe Nachman’s Wisdom), bringing the meaning of the Rebbe’s words directly to the hearts of modernday listeners. Faithfully transcribed, his classes show us how to apply Rebbe Nachman’s guidance for daily living and forge a real bond with the tzaddik emes. With these insights, you, too, can connect to Rebbe Nachman and follow his path to the pinnacle of true faith.
