Likutei Etzot PDF Download Version 2

This is the latest version of Likutei Etzot, R' Nahman's practical advice, extracted from his teachings from Likutei Moharan and Sihot HaRan. Click here for the free PDF download. I began translating it according to the Hebrew alphabetical order that it is written in, but I've been continuing the translation according to English alphabetical order. Here's a list of the topics in the PDF:


-Advice
-Anger

-Brit Kodesh

-Charity
-Children
-Clothing
-Confession

-Desire and Yearning
-Discipline
-Dispute and Discord

-Eating

-Hitbodedut (incomplete)
-Hospitality

-Knowledge

-Land of Israel

-Pride and Humility

-Shame and Brazenness
-Sighing
-Speech (incomplete)

-Trust
-Truth and Faith

There are several more topics to go, and I'm determined to finish translating them all very quickly, directly into the PDF instead of on this blog.

Please help spread Rebbe Nahman's advice which is the most needed thing in this world at this time. Spread it across the entire universe.

Another 'Coincidence'

I recently began re-learning hil. Isurei Bi'a in Mishne Torah. I covered the chapters there about the laws of nida. I finished last week, and on Shabbat I randomly opened up to Torah 30 in Liquttei Moharan ("LM"), which I went through twice during Shabbat. Then, the next day, I opened up Liqutei Halakhoth ("LH") (concepts from R' Nahhman's teachings, mainly from LM, explained regarding halakha). As I opened LH to the section covering the laws of nida - lo and behold it began quoting Torah 70 of LM, the Torah I'd just happened to open to on Shabbat.

Is the Torah Fair to Women?

I hate to mention the beliefs of apiqorsim, since there is a general prohibition of even mentioning their words even in jest. However, some points just need to be addressed directly.

There is a huge wave of heresy that has attacked the Jewish people, and we see more real (spiritual) casualties from this than from anything else.

Everything About Everything

In parashath Paqudhei, the final parasha of Shemoth, Midrash Raba comments on the beginning of the parasha where the word 'mishkan' is doubled. It states, basically, that the Mishkan is related to the word 'mashkon', meaning a pledge or a loan. Thus as it's written in the Torah "mishkan, mishkan" and the Sages in M"R state to read it "mishkan, mashkon".
