El Rebe Najmán de Breslov enfatizó el hecho de que la plegaria es el camino principal para conectarse con Dios, enseñando que debemos hablarle a Él sobre todos los aspectos de nuestras vidas, tanto espirituales como material, suplementando el servicio de plegarias diarias con nuestras propias plegarias individuales. El Likutey Tefilot es una colección de plegarias del rabí Natán, quien fuera el discípulo principal del Rebe Najmán. Un clásico de la literatura espiritual judía, el Likutey Tefilot le da voz a nuestros sentimientos y aspiraciones más íntimos, proveyéndonos siempre de las palabras correctas cuando más las necesitamos. Nuestros sabios enseñan que el nivel más elevado del conocimiento de Dios -conocido como el Portal Número Cincuenta- se encuentra más allá del alcance del intelecto humano, pero puede ser aprehendido lejanamente a través de la plegaria. El rabí Natán cierta vez hizo notar que sus plegarias provenían del Portal Número Cincuenta. Este Volumen incluye las Plegarias 21 a 40.

The "mountain" symbolizes "raw nature", our God-given environment. At the opposite extreme stands the "house", a structure entirely made by man, albeit with materials derived from nature. In between stands the "field" - land or some other natural resource that man has to manipulate in order to produce his food and other needs. In today's world, the "house" - symbolizing the man-made urban civilization in which we live - is seriously out of harmony with the wider natural environment, and our patterns of production and consumption are causing appalling damage to the environment, but the Torah teaches that this can be rectified and that mankind will attain new and lasting harmony with nature, just as soon as we realize that the key lies in envisioning and constructing the Sacred House - the Temple of God in Jerusalem.
