R' Chaim Kramer Torah 73 Shiur 1

In this episode, the speaker explores Lesson 73 from Likutei Moharan, focusing on the importance of Tehillim (Psalms) in the process of doing Tshuva (repentance). Rabbi Nachman teaches that Tshuva involves returning to Hashem by bringing spiritual awareness into every aspect of daily life. The lesson explains the significance of the 50 Gates of Tshuva, with 49 gates attainable by humans and the 50th gate representing Hashem's divine aid. The speaker emphasizes the unique spiritual potency of Tehillim, authored by King David, as a means to access divine spirit and overcome obstacles in the Tshuva process. Practical advice is given on incorporating Tehillim into daily practice, especially during the month of Elul, to achieve closer intimacy with Hashem and ultimately, bring about personal and communal redemption.

Kollel Toras Chaim was established to learn Rebbe Nachman torah in depth and to live with his torah for several months with chaburas in various cities learning together.

In Lesson 25, Rebbe Nachman discusses the significance of coming before Hashem even when one can't express themselves. The act of sitting before Hashem with the intention to serve Him is valuable in itself.
