Yishmru Daat is a collection of Hasidic teachings from Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi in the traditional Hebrew of the beit midrash.
Dear friend -If you do not yet read Hebrew, and need an alternative resource for your daily davvenen (prayer), or if you are not used to reading the Hebrew with comprehension and the ability to dilate it from its literal meaning, I offer you this concise translation of the Jewish siddur or prayer-book, which I frequently use for my own davvenen.I have translated the liturgy of the siddur here according to the way in which I experience it in my own feeling-consciousness. Thus, my translations do not so much offer the p'shat or the literal meaning of the words as they do a devotional interpretation that can make them into prayers of the heart. . . .This siddur is meant to help you stay in touch with God on a daily basis, to gain divine assistance, to lighten your burdens, not to add to them. May you come to experience your own prayer as a blessed meeting with your own God.- Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi
The tikkun klali, or 'general remedy, ' are ten psalms specifically chosen by Rebbe Nahman of Bratzlav to expiate guilt for various kinds of sins. Many Bratzlaver Hasidim recite these psalms daily, while others do so once a week. Recitation of the tikkun klali also forms the most important aspect of the ritual around visiting the grave of Rebbe Nahman in Uman, Ukraine. About this ritual, Rebbe Nahman said: When my days are over and I leave this world, I will intercede for anyone who comes to my grave, says these ten psalms and gives a coin to charity. No matter how great their sins, I will do everything in my power, spanning the length and breadth of creation, to cleanse and protect them. . . . I will pull them out of Gehennom by their peyos! It makes no difference who it may be, or how seriously they may have sinned. All they have to do is to take upon themselves not to return to their folly."In this beautiful new edition, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, one of the world's great teachers of Hasidism, has made a new prayable translation of the Hebrew psalms in everyday English. For those who are fluent in Hebrew, the original psalms are provided in the bac
In this book about Jewish practice through the lens of personal transformation and global consciousness, Reb Zalman applies his mystical vision to Halachah, the expression of vision in life's details.
The interpretations in A Heart Afire are as rich and meaningful as the teachings and tales themselves in this intimate guided tour of Hasidism and Hasidic storytelling led by Reb Zalman, an old-world Hasidic elder who is also profoundly connected to modern culture.
All Breathing Life Adores Your Name is a book of prayers composed as poetry by the founder of the Jewish Renewal movement, Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. This English language book of prayers introduces the reader to Jewish mysticism in contemporary life. Rabbi Lawrence Kushner has said that Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi's ideas and stories have "profoundly altered the landscape of American Judaism." And, it is in his tradition of originality and spiritual centeredness that Reb Zalman has opened a door for our souls with these prayer/poems. Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, the author of both Jewish Literacy and A Code of Jewish Ethics, says of this book, "It is hard to pray for more than a few sentences in Hebrew if you don't know what you're saying. And it's hard to pray for more than a few sentences in English if the prayers don't touch and teach your heart. Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, the master davvener of our age has delivered a vital book, one that enables people to actually davven, not just pray, in English. Many have promised such a book, but this one delivers." Rodger Kamenetz, the author of both Burnt Books and The Jew in the Lotus, says, "One is grateful to Reb Zalman for bringing into English these Jewish prayers that have lived a long life in him. Indeed, his introductory notes show how these prayers have provided him solace, guidance and inspiration at key moments to a unique man of prayer, so that we can begin to understand not only what the words say but how they speak in the heart."
A powerful memoir chronicling the life of one of America's most celebrated rabbis-from his youth in the shadows of the Nazis through the tumultuous 1960's in America to his position as a renowned religious leader today. Reflecting Reb Zalman's warm, endearing personality, this book brings together his dynamic life story for the first time.
This extraordinary spiritual handbook is a compassionate call to reconnect with your spiritual roots & nourish your relationship with God. Breaks free from ways of Jewish worship that no longer inspire & offers practical ideas for enriching daily life.
