Book Description:

Discover the hidden secrets of Torah and Kabbalah through the captivating stories of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov.

"Rabbi Nachman’s stories are among the great classics of Jewish literature. They have been recognized by Jews and non-Jews alike for their depth and insight into both the human condition and the realm of the mysterious." — from Aryeh Kaplan's Translator’s Introduction

For centuries, spiritual teachers have told stories to convey lessons about G-d and perceptions of the world around us. Hasidic master Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772–1810) perfected this teaching method through his engrossing and entertaining stories that are fast-moving, brilliantly structured, and filled with penetrating insights. This collection presents the wisdom of Rebbe Nachman, translated by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan and accompanied by illuminating commentary drawn from the works of Rebbe Nachman’s pupils. This important work brings you authentic interpretations of Rebbe Nachman’s stories, allowing you to experience the rich heritage of Torah and Kabbalah that underlies each word of his inspirational teachings.

From the Inside Flap
Rebbe Nachman was a Kabbalist and a mystic, yet at the same time practical and down-to-earth. He told tales of princes and princesses, beggars and kings, demons and saints, and encouraged those around him to live life with faith, honesty, and simplicity. In the first of two monumental volumes, Rabbi Kaplan’s translation of Rebbe Nachman’s stories is accompanied by masterful commentary drawn from the works of Rebbe Nachman’s pupils and followers. The tales will awaken you to the mysteries of Torah and Kabbalah, and show you why Rebbe Nachman’s teachings are a major source of inspiration and perception in our times.
